Lecture 3: membrane permeability and partitioning of drugs Flashcards
Hydrophilic groups
-lipophobic
-love water
-usually polar and capable of H bond formation
Hydrophilic functional groups
-alcohol
-carboxylic acid
-amine
-ketone
-amide
-ester
Hydrophobic groups
-lipophilic
-hate water
-usually non-polar hydrocarbons
Hydrophobic functional groups
-methyl
-chloro
-phenyl
-hexyl
-cyclohexyl
Hotseat: Which molecule is more hydrophobic?
The one with a CH3 group instead of OH group
Hotseat: Which molecule is more hydrophobic?
the one with the hexyl group instead of alcohol group
Lipinski’s rule of five
-describe druglikeness (orally active drugs)
-based on observation that orally active drugs are usually small and lipophilic
Lipinski’s rule
-no more than 5 H-bond donors (-OH, -NH)
-no more than 10 H-bond acceptors (O, N)
-mass less than 500
-LogP < 5
LogP
-Log value of partition coefficient (P)
-measure lipophilicity
-most drugs have values from -1 to 4
LogP < 0
drug favors water
LogP = 0
equal
LogP > 0
drug favors 1-octanol
larger LogP
-more lipophilic
-more hydrophobic
typical LogP values
-1 to 4
The logP value of drug A is 2. what is the ratio of the concentration
of the drug in the organic phase to that in the aqueous phase?
100:1
Activity versus LogP
-parabola curve opening downwards
optimal logP (logP0)
-logP value relating to maximum drug activity
Lipophilicity
-improves permeation
-too much can hinder crossing
Drug Partitioning Through Multiple Compartments
Separated by Membrane Barriers
LogP= 0 diffuses the quickest and more evenly
LogP= 3 diffused similarly to -3 but sticks around the membrane bc of attraction
