Estimating Octanol / Water Partition Coefficients by Order Preserving Mappings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Douglas Jay Klein and other researchers have seen that there is a great potential in applying partial order in the field of QSAR. The basic idea is to deduce from order relations among chemicals, properties of the ordered chemicals. Despite the satisfactory results found by Klein’s methods, we think it is worth exploring another feature of the poset of chemicals used in Klein’s approaches, namely the average posetic height, hav, of each chemical. In the current paper we explore some methods to calculate these heights and use them as independent variables for modelling a chemical property that is also modelled by Klein’s approaches, namely octanol / water partition coefficient KOW. It turned out that the application of average heights, hav, as predictors of a linear log KOW estimation leads to reasonable results in the application example of chlorophenols.

Synthesis and Determination of Partition Coefficients of Zinc Complexes with Clinical Potential application
Zinc sulphate is currently used for treatment of zinc deficiency. Its uptake by the body is poor, necessitating the administration of high doses. This leads to a range of unpleasant side effects. In order to increase the bioavailability of zinc, several zinc complexes have been designed and synthesized using bidentate ligands of hydroxypyranones and hydroxypyridinones. Elemental analysis in eac...

متن کاملA comparison of theoretical methods of calculation of partition coefficients for selected drugs.
Hundred ninety three drugs of different pharmacological activity were studied. Lipophilicity of a drug is one of the parameters, which influence its biological activity. The n-octanol-water partition coefficients were calculated for these compounds by use of different theoretical procedures (AlogPs, IAlogP, miLogP, ClogP, logP(Kowwin), and xlogP). Particular theoretical partition coefficients w...
متن کاملEvaluation of the three-phase equilibrium method for measuring temperature dependence of internally consistent partition coefficients (KOW, KOA, and KAW) for volatile methylsiloxanes and trimethylsilanol
Partitioning equilibria and their temperature dependence of chemicals between different environmental media are important in determining the fate, transport, and distribution of contaminants. Unfortunately, internally consistent air/water (K(AW)), 1-octanol/air (K(OA)), and 1-octanol/water (K(OW)) partition coefficients, as well as information on their temperature dependence, are scarce for org...
متن کاملCorrelation of psychotomimetic activity of phenethylamines and amphetamines with 1-octanol-water partition coefficients.
In an attempt to relate the hallucinogenic potencies in man of some biologically important amphetamines and phenethylamines, the 1-octanol-water partition coefficients for 11 amphetamines were determined. Using these values and published Hansch pi constants, the log P for 17 additional amines was estimated. It was found that lipophilicity, as measured by the log of the partition coefficient, ma...
