The BBB is a prototypical example of \"organ-specific vascular specialization\" established by (1) the non-fenestrated nature and tight junctions of cerebral capillary endothelial cells and (2) endothelial cell regulation by pericytes and astrocytes. Therefore, CNS penetration of antibiotics should be understood as an interaction between physicochemical properties of drugs (lipophilicity, molecular weight, ionization state, and polarity) and the BBB state throughout the disease course (from the acute inflammatory phase to post-resolution). To assist readers in estimating passive BBB permeability simply by inspecting structural formulas, we provide a practical workflow-from identifying key functional groups (red-circle annotation) to a three-tier (\"likely to pass,\" \"may pass during inflammation,\" and \"unlikely to pass under usual conditions\") classification-and demonstrate workflow efficacy using four representative compounds.
