Title:
AtomlFragment Contribution Method for Estimating Octanol-Water Partition Coefficients
Author:
WILLIAM M. MEYLAN AND PHILIP H. HOWARD
Year:
1994
Bibliographic source:
Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences Vol. 84, No. 1, January 1995

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The log P of the substance is estimated by simply summing all atom/fragment contribution values and correction factors occurring in a chemical structure. Each contribution value is estimated thanks to a multiple linear regression of 1120 compounds with measured log P values. An additional 1231 compounds were used to determine 235 “correction factors” for various substructure orientations.
