B D Anderson et al.
The Journal of investigative dermatology, 93(2), 280-286 (1989-08-01)
The permeability coefficients (kp) of a series of methyl-substituted p-cresols were determined in human stratum corneum along with their partition coefficients (PC) between water and untreated stratum corneum, delipidized stratum corneum, octanol, and heptane. The PC values were identical in

ACS nano, 6(12), 10684-10698 (2012-12-12)
Controlling the molecular conformation of oligomers on surfaces through noncovalent interactions symbolizes an important approach in the bottom-up patterning of surfaces with nanoscale precision. Here we report on the design, synthesis, and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) investigation of linear oligoamides
John A Arnott et al.
Expert opinion on drug discovery, 7(10), 863-875 (2012-09-21)
The role of lipophilicity in drug discovery and design is a critical one. Lipophilicity is a key physicochemical property that plays a crucial role in determining ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity) properties and the overall suitability of drug
D Southwell et al.
The Journal of investigative dermatology, 80(6), 507-514 (1983-06-01)
Penetration-enhancing solvents may modify diffusional routes through the stratum corneum and the partitioning of drugs into these pathways. To investigate the mechanisms of action of enhancers, steady-state fluxes were measured in vitro for polar methanol, nonpolar octanol, and an intermediate
R O Potts et al.
Pharmaceutical research, 9(5), 663-669 (1992-05-01)
Published permeability coefficient (Kp) data for the transport of a large group of compounds through mammalian epidermis were analyzed by a simple model based upon permeant size [molecular volume (MV) or molecular weight (MW)] and octanol/water partition coefficient (Koct). The
