HighlightsA data set describing chemical penetration through the human nail was collated.Low molecular weight was shown to be essential for effective nail plate penetration, with< 120 g/mol being preferred.Chemical polarity had no effect on chemical penetration through the nail plate.Small polar molecules, which effectively penetrate the nail, but not the skin, should be set as the most desirable target chemical properties in new post-screen onychomycosis candidate selection.Recalcitrant nail plate infections can be life-long problems because localizing antifungal agents into infected tissues is problematic. In this systematic review, guided by the SPIDER method, we extracted chemical nail permeation data for 38 compounds from 16 articles, and analyzed the data using quantitative structure–property relationships (QSPRs). Our analysis demonstrated that low-molecular weight was essential for effective nail penetration, with< 120 g/mol being preferred. Interestingly, chemical polarity had little effect on nail penetration; therefore, small polar molecules, which effectively penetrate the nail, but not the skin, should be set as the most desirable target chemical property in new post-screen onychomycosis candidate selections.
