Prediction of Relative Solubility
It also serve to determine the extent interaction of drug molecule with lipid
and/or aqueous phase.

Log P = Ʃπ
• Log P = log of partition coefficient
• Ʃπ = sum of hydrophilic-lipophilic constants
Compound with log P:
• More than +0.5, water insoluble (lipophilic)
• Less than +0.5, water soluble (hydrophilic)
Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Fragment Constants
For an example:
π values for various substituents on aromatic rings
Substituents Π Value
CH3 + 0.52
OH - 1.67
CONH3 - 0.49
CF3 + 1.16
Cl + 0.71
Br + 0.86
F + 0.14
Anileridine

9 aliphatic carbon +4.5
2 phenyl ring +4.0
1 ester -0.7
Log P = +5.8
States that compounds are likely to have good absorption and permeation
in biological systems and are more likely to be successful drug candidates
if they meet the following criteria:
• five or fewer hydrogen-bond donors Not too polar
• ten (2 x 5) or fewer hydrogen-bond acceptors
• molecular weight less than or equal to 500 Not too big

Elimination
• HPLC method.
• Electrochemical method.
• Slow-Stirring Method.
Shakeflask method:
• common method.
• some amount of drug is added, dissolved in octanol & water.
• The distribution of solute is measured by two methods.
i. UV-Visible spectroscopy
ii. Carrier free radiotracer
UV-Visible spectroscopy:
• In this method, after dissolving the drug between two phases, they are separated.
• By using calibration curve, the concentration of the sample in both organic and
aqueous phase can be measured
• The two phases are then brought into contact and mixed until equilibrium has
been reached. Then the two phases are separated before the radioactivity in each
phase is measured.
HPLC method:
• By correlating its retention time with similar compounds with known logP
values.
• This enables the relationship between the retention time on such a (reverse
phase) column and the n-octanol/water partition coefficient.
Electrochemical method:
In this polarized liquid interfaces have been used to examine the thermodynamics
and kinetics of charged species from one phase to another.
• The oil-water partition coefficients are indicative of lipophilic hydrophilic character of drug
molecules.
• Extraction: Drugs from biological fluids such as blood, tissue and urine can be extracted
efficiently by the principle of Multiple Extraction.
