Water partition coefficient

The flic presented contains 11 data items. The header lines arc property names as used by CACTVS [64, 65], and arc sufficiently self-descriptive. For example, E NHDONORS is the number of hydrogen bond donor.s, E SM1LES" is the SMILES string representing the structure of sulfamidc, and E LOGP is the logP value (octanol/water partition coefficient) for this substance. 

Two approaches to quantify/fQ, i.e., to establish a quantitative relationship between the structural features of a compoimd and its properties, are described in this section quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPR) and linear free energy relationships (LFER) cf. Section 3.4.2.2). The LFER approach is important for historical reasons because it contributed the first attempt to predict the property of a compound from an analysis of its structure. LFERs can be established only for congeneric series of compounds, i.e., sets of compounds that share the same skeleton and only have variations in the substituents attached to this skeleton. As examples of a QSPR approach, currently available methods for the prediction of the octanol/water partition coefficient, log P, and of aqueous solubility, log S, of organic compoimds are described in Section 10.1.4 and Section 10.15, respectively. 

A series of studies has been made by Yalkowsky and co-workers. The so-called general solubility equation was used for estimating the solubility of solid nonelectrolytes [17, 18]. The solubility log S (logarithm of solubility expressed as mol/L) was formulated with log P logarithm of octanol/water partition coefficient), and the melting point (MP) as shown in Eq. (11). This equation generally... 

Herein Pa and Pb are the micelle - water partition coefficients of A and B, respectively, defined as ratios of the concentrations in the micellar and aqueous phase [S] is the concentration of surfactant V. ai,s is fhe molar volume of the micellised surfactant and k and k , are the second-order rate constants for the reaction in the micellar pseudophase and in the aqueous phase, respectively. The appearance of the molar volume of the surfactant in this equation is somewhat alarming. It is difficult to identify the volume of the micellar pseudophase that can be regarded as the potential reaction volume. Moreover, the reactants are often not homogeneously distributed throughout the micelle and... 

The octanol—water partition coefficient, which is used as an iadicator of the tendency of an organic chemical to accumulate ia living tissue, was low. This iadicates that naphthalene is unlikely to accumulate ia the body. 

Other evaluations (27,28) of environmental considerations report vapor pressure, water solubiHty, and the octanol/water partition coefficient for trimethylbenzenes. 

Silicones have been detected in water from various rivers and in effluent from wastewater treatment faciUties. They are barely detectable in water from municipal treatment faciUties. Water solubiUty (S) of siUcones has been found to correlate with the octanol—water partition coefficients for a... 

This expression can be used to predict solubiUties from the octanol-water partition coefficients. SolubiUty and data for four oligomeric siloxanes are hsted in Table 14.

In the case of mercaptopropionic acid, biodegradation of 96% was achieved within 28 d ia a closed botde test based oa the consumption of oxygea. The pass level of 60% was reached within 10 d of exceeding the 10% level thus, mercaptopropionic acid can be considered as readily biodegradable. It is not expected to bio accumulate, owing to the low (log P — 0.09) -octanol/water partition coefficient. 

An overview of some basic mathematical techniques for data correlation is to be found herein together with background on several types of physical property correlating techniques and a road map for the use of selected methods. Methods are presented for the correlation of observed experimental data to physical properties such as critical properties, normal boiling point, molar volume, vapor pressure, heats of vaporization and fusion, heat capacity, surface tension, viscosity, thermal conductivity, acentric factor, flammability limits, enthalpy of formation, Gibbs energy, entropy, activity coefficients, Henry s constant, octanol—water partition coefficients, diffusion coefficients, virial coefficients, chemical reactivity, and toxicological parameters. 

Many additional consistency tests can be derived from phase equiUbrium constraints. From thermodynamics, the activity coefficient is known to be the fundamental basis of many properties and parameters of engineering interest. Therefore, data for such quantities as Henry s constant, octanol—water partition coefficient, aqueous solubiUty, and solubiUty of water in chemicals are related to solution activity coefficients and other properties through fundamental equiUbrium relationships (10,23,24). Accurate, consistent data should be expected to satisfy these and other thermodynamic requirements. Furthermore, equiUbrium models may permit a missing property value to be calculated from those values that are known (2).

Once the composition of each equiHbrium phase is known, infinite dilution activity coefficients for a third component ia each phase can then be calculated. The octanol—water partition coefficient is directly proportional to the ratio of the infinite dilution activity coefficients for a third component distributed between the water-rich and octanol-rich phases (5,24). The primary drawback to the activity coefficient approach to estimation is the difficulty of the calculations involved, particularly when the activity coefficient model is complex. 

Octano/—Water Partition Coefficient. The Fragment approach (234—236) has been reviewed (227) and another method similar to the UNIFAC refit for Henry s constant has been proposed. Improved accuracy for many species and the abiUty to correct for temperature effects have been claimed for the newer method.

Closely related to water solubility as a polarity measure is the partition coefficient of a substance between water and an immiscible organic solvent. Most commonly the organic solvent is selected to be n-octanol, and the symbol P is given to the octanol/water partition coefficient. Then log P is a quantitative measure of hydro-phobicity and, therefore, of nonpolarity. Table 8-3 gives log P values for many of...

General anaesthetics have been in use for the last 100 years, yet their mechanism of action are still not yet clearly defined. For many years it was thought that general anaesthetics exerted their effects by dissolving in cell membranes and perturbing the lipid environment in a non-specific manner. This theory derived from the observation that for a number of drugs which induced anaesthesia, their potency correlated with their oil-water partition coefficients. This Meyer-Oveiton correlation was accepted for a number of years, however in the last 15-20 years evidence has shown that a more likely theory is that of specific interactions of anaesthetics with proteins, particularly those within the CNS that mediate neurotransmission [1]. 

The toxicological or cumulative effect of illicit drugs on the ecosystems has not been studied yet. Moreover, their fate and transport in the environment is to a big extent still unknown. Due to their physical-chemical properties (octanol-water partition coefficient, solubility, etc.) some of them, such as cannabinoids, are likely to bioaccumulate in organisms or concentrate in sediments whereas the rest, much more polar compounds, will tend to stay in aqueous environmental matrices. However, continuous exposure of aquatic organisms to low aquatic concentrations of these substances, some of them still biologically active (e.g., cocaine (CO), morphine (MOR) and MDMA) may cause undesirable effects on the biota. 

The BUSES model provides an estimate of the organic carbon/water partition coefficient (Koc) based on the octanol/water partition coefficient (Kow)- From these data, it is evident that the methyltins are less likely to partition onto organic carbon (in sediments, soils, biota) than are the butyl- and octyltin compormds due to then-lower partition coefficients and higher water solubilities. The 7/oc value can then be used to derive sohds/water partition coefficients in suspended matter, in sediment, and in soil using values of 10%, 5%, and 2% for organie carbon, representing typical organic carbon contents of suspended matter, sediment, and soil, respeetively. 

As most organotins decompose, boiling points of 250 °C were assumed in the absence of a "true boiling point. The values for Henry s law constant and organic carbon/water partition coefficient were all derived from EUSES unless otherwise indicated. The chlorides were chosen as soluble salts in this table toxicity is independent of salt (see section 8), and soluble salts maximize likely environmental exposure, giving worst case in modelling environmental fate.
