LightBBB

Blood Brain Barrier Permeablility Predictor

Conventional experimental approaches for BBB permeability measurement are expensive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Thus, accurate prediction of blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability of a compound is a major challenge in neurotherapeutic drug discovery. We developed a BBB permeability prediction model (LightBBB) using a large dataset for practical applications. This model can be used for facilitated compound screening in early stage of brain drug discovery.

Server Submission
Since LightBBB calculates molecular descriptors relies on SMILES (Simplified Molecular-Input Line-Entry System), jobs can currently only be submitted by using SMILES.
Please enter correct SMILES. To predict toxicity of multiple molecules simultaneously, SMILES file with name extension '.smi' can alternatively be queried. For this query file, please input SMILES line by line. Input SMILES: or Submit .SMI File:
