a

CNS indicates drug activity in the brain (9, 89-91). Log BB=brain-to-plasma total concentration ratio (92-94); values in italics calculated from Abraham descriptors (92). Values of log POCT and the Abraham descriptors were calculated by ADME Boxes v4.9 (ACD/Labs). Q refers to the charge class, based on the dominant calculated concentration fraction of the drug in a particular charge state.

b

This work—potentiometric analysis using the Gemini Profiler (pION).

c

Calculated using ADME Boxes.

d

This work—refined from PAMPA Pe vs. pH data using pCEL-X (pION).

e

Set equal to that of quinine.

f

This work—estimated from pKa determined at 37°C.

g

This work—estimated from pKa determination of rosuvastatin acid.
