Answer 1

1. SwissADME is a web-based tool for predicting ADME properties (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion) and drug-likeness of small molecules.
2. Key Features:

Predicts GI absorption, BBB permeability, and CYP metabolism.

Lipinski’s Rule of Five, Veber’s Rules for drug-likeness.

Physicochemical properties: LogP, LogS, TPSA.

Bioavailability radar visualization.

PAINS filter for false positives in assays.

3. Applications:

Drug discovery and optimization.

Pharmacokinetic profiling.

Medicinal chemistry and toxicology.

Teaching and research.

4. How to Use:

Input structure via drawing, SMILES, or file.

Select ADME predictions.

Review and download results (bioavailability, ADME properties, etc.).

5. Benefits:

Free, fast, and comprehensive ADME predictions.

User-friendly with visualization tools.

Integration with other Swiss tools.

6. Limitations:

Prediction may not replace experimental data.

Primarily for small molecules, not biologics.
