  1. Water solubility: the solubility of the molecule in water at 25 °C; less than − 10: insoluble; between − 10 and − 6: poorly soluble; between − 6 and − 4: moderately soluble; between − 4 and − 2: soluble; between − 2 and 0: very soluble; more than 0: highly soluble
  2. Skin permeability: the human skin permeability of compounds in vitro; more than − 2.5: low skin permeability; less than − 2.5: high skin permeability
  3. VDss (human): the volume of compounds distributed in tissue; less than − 0.15: low distribution; more than 0.45: high distribution
  4. Total clearance: a combination of hepatic clearance and renal clearance; less than 0.25: low total clearance; more than 0.25: high total clearance
  5. DL: drug-likeness model score; between 0 and 2: very drug-like molecules; between − 3 and − 0.5: non-drug like molecules
