Physical Properties 2 Lecture Flashcards
Log P is
partition coefficient
clogP
calculated partition coefficient
LogD
Distribution coefficient
Define lipophilicty
Fat-liking
Decrease lipophilicity, increase hydrophilicity
Define ionized
water soluble, not very lipophilic because it forms strong H bonds
Hydrophobic bonding is?
Drugs are typically hydrophobic molecules
Binding sites = hydrophobic too
Like attracts like
What drives hydrophobic bonding?
Proximity and H or ionic bonding
Anchorage
Entropy gains (when water molecules are displaced from the active site)
Enthalpy gains may result from?
van der Waals bonding between: alkyl, aryl or halogen groups & pi-pi stacking (phenol rings)
Define Entropy gains
Increased disorder
Gains energy
Achieved when water is displaced form the active site
Favors hydrophobic interactions bc it allows more disorder
Gibbs Free Energy equation?
Delta G = delta H - T*delta S
Delta G: free energy the system has
Delta H: change in enthalpy
Delta S: Entropy
Negative delta S means?
Increased order (reduced entropy)
Negative delta G means?
gains energy
Nonpolar surface into water?
Disturbs network of water-water H bonds
Causes reorientation of the network of H bonds to give fewer but stronger, water-water H bonds close to the nonpolar surface
Lower IC50 means?
more active the compound (lipophilicity increases)
What is the hydrophobic effect?
Compound is too lipophilic, so it may be insoluble in aqueous media, bind too strongly to plasma protein (no desired effect), distribute into lipid bilayers and unable to reach the inside of the cell
Compound is too polar, it may no absorbed through the gut wall due to lack of membrane solubility
