This is also due to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains (MDR-TB and XDR-TB) of the primary causative TB agent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Efforts to develop new effective drugs against MTB are restrained by the unique and largely impermeable composition of the mycobacterial cell wall.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: Based on a database of antimycobacterial substances (CDD TB), 3815 compounds were classified as active and thus permeable. A data mining approach was conducted to gather the physico-chemical similarities of these substances and delimit them from a generic dataset of drug-like molecules. On the basis of the differences in these datasets, a regression model was generated and implemented into the online tool MycPermCheck to predict the permeability probability of small organic compounds.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Discussion: Given the current lack of precise molecular criteria determining mycobacterial permeability, MycPermCheck represents an unprecedented prediction tool intended to support antimycobacterial drug discovery. It follows a novel knowledge-driven approach to estimate the permeability probability of small organic compounds. As such, MycPermCheck can be used intuitively as an additional selection criterion for potential new inhibitors against MTB. Based on the validation results, its performance is expected to be of high practical value for virtual screening purposes.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability: The online tool is freely accessible under the URL http:\/\/www.mycpermcheck.aksotriffer.pharmazie.uni-wuerzburg.de<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: sotriffer@uni-wuerzburg.de<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/bts641","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,27]],"date-time":"2012-10-27T00:18:50Z","timestamp":1351297130000},"page":"62-68","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["MycPermCheck: the <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis<\/i> permeability prediction tool for small molecules"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Benjamin","family":"Merget","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Institute of Pharmacy and Food Chemistry, University of W\u00fcrzburg, D-97074 W\u00fcrzburg, Germany and 2Department of Bioinformatics, Biocenter, University of W\u00fcrzburg, D-97074 W\u00fcrzburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Zilian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Institute of Pharmacy and Food Chemistry, University of W\u00fcrzburg, D-97074 W\u00fcrzburg, Germany and 2Department of Bioinformatics, Biocenter, University of W\u00fcrzburg, D-97074 W\u00fcrzburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tobias","family":"M\u00fcller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Institute of Pharmacy and Food Chemistry, University of W\u00fcrzburg, D-97074 W\u00fcrzburg, Germany and 2Department of Bioinformatics, Biocenter, University of W\u00fcrzburg, D-97074 W\u00fcrzburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christoph A.","family":"Sotriffer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Institute of Pharmacy and Food Chemistry, University of W\u00fcrzburg, D-97074 W\u00fcrzburg, Germany and 2Department of Bioinformatics, Biocenter, University of W\u00fcrzburg, D-97074 W\u00fcrzburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020303304388400_bts641-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"334","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tube.2009.05.008","article-title":"High-throughput screening for inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv","volume":"89","author":"Ananthan","year":"2009","journal-title":"Tuberculosis"},{"key":"2023020303304388400_bts641-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1129","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btq089","article-title":"BioNet: an R-package for the functional analysis of biological networks","volume":"26","author":"Beisser","year":"2010","journal-title":"Bioinformatics"},{"key":"2023020303304388400_bts641-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"90","DOI":"10.1038\/nchem.1243","article-title":"Quantifying the chemical beauty of drugs","volume":"4","author":"Bickerton","year":"2012","journal-title":"Nat.
