A new possibility for estimating the octanol/water coefficient (log P) was investigated using only one descriptor, the semi-empirical electrotopological index (I(SET)). The predictability of four octanol/water partition coefficient (log P) calculation models was compared using a set of 131 aliphatic organic compounds from five different classes. Log P values were calculated employing atomic-con...

Concentrating on consuming coefficient, partition coefficient, and Leontief inverse matrix, relevant concepts and algorithms are developed for estimating the impact of meteorological services including the associated (indirect, complete) economic effect. Subsequently, quantitative estimations are particularly obtained for the meteorological services in Jiangxi province by utilizing the input-ou...

Four fundamental physical parameters of series of benzene derivatives were studied to ascertain correlations with biological activity. These included octanol/water coefficient, vapor pressure, infrared absorption (out-of-plane C-H vibration), and the pi values. Each physicochemical constant exhibited a partial correlation with biological activity suggesting that each played a role. It was presu...

A simple method is presented for the determination of partition coefficient of an effector between water environment and biological material, based on concentration-dependent effects. The method allows the determination of partition coefficients for biological objects such as algae, bacteria and other microorganisms.

The paper describes the new prediction method of octanol-water partition coefficient, which is based on molecular graph theory. The results obtained using the new method are well correlated with experimental values. These results were compared with the ones obtained by use of ten other structure correlated methods. The comparison shows that graph theory can be very useful in structure correlati...

Based on volume-flow relationships, CNS agents that are highly lipid soluble (log octanol-water partition coefficient > 2) are expected to have equilibration half-times (T1/2 kE0) that are proportional to brain solubility. Propofol, the most lipophilic anaesthetic in clinical use, has T1/2 kE0 values of 1.7 and 2.9 min in rats and humans, respectively, compared with an expected value of at leas...

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) T1 mapping indices, such as T1 time and partition coefficient (λ), have shown potential to assess diffuse myocardial fibrosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate how scanner and field strength variation affect the accuracy and precision/reproducibility of T1 mapping indices. METHODS CMR studies were performed on two 1.5T and three 3...
