AlogP vs. ClogP<br />

• AlogP and ClogP yield comparable performance<br />

• There are some differences with respect to molecular mass<br />

• ClogP slightly be"er for smaller molecules, AlogP for larger ones<br />

• Both methods are standard methods in computer aided-­‐drug design and are<br />

being used widely<br />

PredicDon of Other ProperDes<br />

Ghose et al., J. Phys. Chem. A (1998), 102, 3762<br />

• pK a values can be predicted in a similar fashion, although<br />

performance is worse<br />

• Solubility is very difficult to predict<br />

• Based on pK a predic%on<br />

(ions usually have very nega%ve solva%on free energies)<br />

• Solva%on free energy is influenced dras%cally by the lakce<br />

energy<br />

• Predic%on of lakce energies is very tricky<br />

QSPR<br />

• Computa%onal predic%on of molecular proper%es is a field of<br />

its own within chemoinforma%cs:<br />

QSPR – Quan7ta7ve Structure-­‐Property Rela7onships<br />

• The approaches discussed so far for the predic%on of log P<br />

fall into this category<br />

• A special case of QSPR is QSAR – Quan7ta7ve Structure-­‐<br />

Ac7vity Rela7onships – here we try to predict<br />

pharmacological proper%es – in par%cular biological acDvity<br />

• Both approaches require an encoding of the structure in a<br />

special form (e.g., number of fragments, atoms)
