A multivariate analysis of drugs on the Swedish market was the basis for the selection of a small,physicochemically diverse set of 24 drug compounds. Factors such as structural diversity, commercialavailability, price, and a suitable analytical technique for quantification were considered in the selection.Lipophilicity, pKa, solubility, and permeability across human Caco-2 cell monolayers were measured forthe compiled data set. The results show that, by use of a physicochemically diverse data set, experimentalresponses over a wide range were obtained. The paper also shows how experimental difficulties due to thediversity of the data set can be overcome. We anticipate that this data set can serve as a benchmark set forvalidation of new experimental techniques or in silico models. It can also be used as a diverse starting dataset for the development of new computational models.
