Topological Polar Surface Area (TPSA)

TPSA
Chemistry

The sum of surfaces of polar atoms (oxygen, nitrogen, and attached hydrogens) in a molecule. Predicts drug transport: TPSA < 140 A^2 suggests oral absorption, TPSA < 90 A^2 suggests CNS penetration.

Contoh

  • Aspirin TPSA ~63 A^2
  • Metformin TPSA ~92 A^2
  • TPSA threshold for BBB ~90 A^2
