Recommended ranges are determined by range of 95 % of orally bioactive drugs and/or cut-offs pre-determined by ADMET Predictor Version 2.0, as defined below. Seven of the cut-offs are within the range of 95 % of orally bioactive drugs. Molar weight (range for 95 % of drugs: 130–725 Da); LogP (range for 95 % of drugs: −2 to 6.5); HBA (range for 95 % of drugs: 2–20); HBD (range for 95 % of drugs: 0–6); nrot (range for 95 % of drugs: 0–15); MDCK permeability in nm/s (range for 95 % of drugs: < 5 low, > 500 high); LogS (range for 95 % of drugs: −6.0 to 0.5) (Ntie-Kang et al. 2013); TOX_MUT_Risk, Absn_Risk, ADMET_Risk, Sw, Peff, MDCK, MW, Mol Vol, LogD, Vd, Fup, and hERG pIC50 exact cut-offs pre-determined by ADMET Predictor. (ADMET Predictor V2 Manual); PSA (<140 based on Veber et al. (2002)); Fsp3 range based on Lovering et al. (2009). Bolded values indicate values outside the range of 95 % of orally bioactive drugs and/or exceeding risk cut-off. aValues indicate properties likely needing optimization or in-vitro assessment
