In medicinal chemistry, Drug Permeability is an empirical parameter that indicates how quickly a chemical entity or an active pharmaceutical ingredient crosses a biological membrane or another biological barrier to become bioavailable in the body. Drug permeability, together with drug aqueous solubility, are the two parameters that define the fate of the active ingredient after oral administration and ultimately define its bioavailability.
