Lipophilic substituents

Further analyses of large proprietary databases have focused on matched pair analysis of phenyl substituent effects on metabolic stability and on cytochrome P450, hERG inhibition, solubility and artificial membrane permeability." These studies also show that substituent lipophilicity is the dominant driver of ADMET properties. However, because of the opposing effects of physical properties (for example on solubility and permeability) there are no perfect substituents, where all ADMET properties are improved at... 

Developing agents must also be soluble in the aqueous alkaline processing solutions. Typically such solutions are maintained at about pH 10 by the presence of a carbonate buffer. Other buffers used include borate and, less frequendy, phosphate. Developer solubiUty can be enhanced by the presence of hydroxyl or sulfonamide groups, usually in the A/-alkyl substituent. The solubilization also serves to reduce developer allergenicity by reducing partitioning into the lipophilic phase of the skin (46). 

Low sulfate selectivity of the ion-selective electrodes (ISE) based on lipophilic quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) is usually explained by unfavorable ratio of sulfate hydration and solvation energies. We have been shown that another reason does exist as well namely, low efficiency of sulfate-QAS cation interaction caused by steric hindrance for simultaneous approach of two QAS cations, containing four long-chain hydrocarbon substituents, to sulfate ion. 

It was found that utilization of QAS with increased steric accessibility of exchange center, containing nitrogen atom with three methyl substituents and one super lipophilic substituent, - tris(2,3,4-dodecyloxy)benzyl, - leads to dramatic, up to 7 orders, increase of ISE s selectivity towards sulfate in the presence of single-charged anions. Incorporation of hexyl 4-trifluoro-acetylbenzoate into membrane leads to additional substantial increase - up to 4 orders - in sulfate selectivity. 

In this work, the results of study of zinc thiocyanate complexes anion-exchange extraction by non-symmetric QASes in toluene ai e discussed. The non-symmetric QASes have the common formula [(C,3H g03)N(CH3) (C,H Q3 J-X-, where C,3H3 03 - highly lipophilic substituent, (2, 3, 4-tn. s-dodecyloxy)benzyl. It was found that exchange... 

Experience in PTC with cationic catalysts showed that, in general, the most suitable compounds have symmetrical structures, are lipophilic, and have the active cationic charge centrally located or sterically shielded by substituents. For anionic catalysis sodium tetraphenylborate fulfills these conditions, but it is not stable under acidic conditions. However, certain derivatives of this compound, namely sodium tetra-kis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate (TFPB, 12.162) and sodium tetrakis[3,5-bis-(l,l,l,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-methoxy-2-propyl)phenyl]borate (HFPB) are sufficiently stable to be used as PTC catalysts for azo coupling reactions (Iwamoto et al., 1983b 1984 Nishida et al., 1984). These fluorinated tetraphenylborates were found to catalyze strongly azo coupling reactions, some of which were carried out with the corresponding diazotization in situ. 

Biooxidation products originating from simple homoaromatic precursors are usually formed in high regio- and stereoselectivity. Lipophilic substituents are most readily converted and the incorporation of a halogen (R = Cl, Br, I) into biooxidation products of TDO is also exploited to give a more pronounced difference in reactivity... 

The for the substrate UTP has been measured and does not show significant differences between wt and mutant enzymes. The model shows that the space available to substituents in positions 4 and 5 of the thiophene is limited, in agreement with SAR studies. Interaction with a number of basic and lipophilic residues bound... 

The above Hansch equations are also generally referred to as linear free energy relationships (LFER) as they are derived from the free energy concept of the drug-receptor complex. They also assume that biological activity is linearly related to the electronic and lipophilic contributions of the various substituents on the parent molecule. 

Extensive data bases are now available which list lipophilicity, molar refractivity, electronic and steric values for a wide collection of substituents [27,28]. Starting from a particular parent compound one computes the value of a physicochemical parameter (e.g. lipophilicity) for a given drug by adding the contributions... 

A table of correlations between seven physicochemical substituent parameters for 90 chemical substituent groups has been reported by Hansch et al. [39]. The parameters include lipophilicity (log P), molar refractivity MR), molecular weight MW), Hammett s electronic parameters (a and o ), and the field and resonance parameters of Swain and Lupton F and R). 

The first attempt for calculating logP was proposed by Hansch and Fujita [189] who considered partition coefficients as an additive-constitutive property. This means that lipophilicity of a given compound is given by that of the unsubstituted parent compound plus a 7T term representing the difference in partition coefficient between a particular substituent X and the hydrogen atom which it replaces ...
