    Notes: This study was designed to unravel lipophilicity changes associated with the oxidation state of the S-atom in model compounds, drugs, and metabolites, special attention being given both to intermolecular and intramolecular effects. The methods used were experimental (potentiometry, CPC, and shake-flask techniques to measure lipophilicity, 13C-NMR spectroscopy to investigate tautomeric equilibria) and computational (quenched molecular dynamics and molecular lipophilicity potential). Simple, monofunctional model compounds were used to assess intermolecular forces, as revealed by the Δlog Poct-alk and Δlog Poct-chf parameters. Drugs and their metabolites proved to be good probes to study intramolecular effects in both neutral and anionic forms, as revealed by the difference between calculated and experimental log Poct values (the diff(log Pexp-calc) parameter). Sulindac and its metabolites showed a normal partitioning behavior, whereas the lipophilicity of sulfmpyrazone and its metabolites' was markedly affected by tautomeric and conformational equilibria.

    Notes: The objectives of this study were to gain insights into the structure-lipophilicity relationships of peptides and to propose an improved model for estimating their lipophilicity. First, existing databases were extended to obtain the distribution coefficients of a total of 208 free or protected peptides (di- to pentapeptides). The polarity parameters (Λ) of 23 free amino acids and 19 protected amino acids (AcNH—CHR—CONH2) and of their side chains were calculated from experimental distribution coefficients and computed molecular volumes. An analysis of the polarity parameters revealed that the hydrophobicity of the amino-acid side chains is largely reduced due to the polar field of the backbone. The polarity parameters of the peptides were then obtained in a similar manner and shown to be highly correlated with the sum of the polarity parameters of their side chains, i.e., the lipophilicity of peptides can be calculated from their molecular volume and the sum of their side-chain polarities using the regression established for each individual series of peptides (Fig. 1). This last restriction is essential since the polarity and lipophilic increment of a NH—C*H—CO unit were shown to decrease with increasing length of backbone.

    Notes: Azapropazone (1) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) whose chemical structure is markedly different from that of other agents in this class and challenges our understanding of structure-activity and structure-permeation relationships. Using a variety of experimental and computational techniques, we studied 1 for its molecular structure in the gas phase and non-protic polar solvents, protonation/deprotonation equilibra, tautomerism, and pH-lipophilicity profiles (octan-1-ol/H2O and dodecane/H2O). Other NSAIDs and model compounds were also examined for comparison. Due to its very low acidic pKa1, 1 exists in the physiological pH range as a zwitterion and as an anion. Some pharmacological implications of these findings are discussed.
