CAS number CAS name SMILES Molecular Formula Lipinski's Rule-of-five Blood brain barrier Oral absorption Skin permeability
50-00-0 Formaldehyde C=O CH2O Bioavailable Poor permeability Highly absorbed High skin permeability
67-56-1 Methanol CO CH4O Bioavailable Poor permeability Moderately absorbed High skin permeability
3878-55-5 Monomethyl succinate COC(=O)CCC(O)=O C5H8O4 Bioavailable Poor permeability Highly absorbed High skin permeability
110-15-6 Succinic acid OC(=O)CCC(O)=O C4H6O4 Bioavailable Poor permeability Moderately absorbed High skin permeability
64-18-6 Formic acid OC=O CH2O2 Bioavailable Poor permeability Highly absorbed High skin permeability

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The rat liver metabolic simulator of the (Q)SAR Toolbox v4.3.1 suggest 5 metabolites for diethyl succinate, having similar mechanistic profiles:
Blood brain barrier: Poor permeability
Oral absorption: Moderately/Highly absorbed
Skin permeability: High skin permeability
Executive summary:

Dimethyl succinate, as well as its metabolites, appears to be bioavailable.
