: The triazole ring is an attractive structural unit in medicinal chemistry, and chemical compounds containing this type of system in their structure exhibit a wide spectrum of biological activity. They are used in the development of new pharmaceuticals. One of the basic parameters considered in the initial phase of designing potential drugs is lipophilicity, which affects the bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of drugs.

Therefore, the subject of this work was to determine the lipophilicity parameters of selected antimicrobial and immunosuppressive compounds such as delafloxacin, linezolid, sutezolid, ceftazidime, everolimus and zotarolimus using thin-layer chromatography in reversed phase system (RP-TLC). The chromatographic parameters of lipophilicity (R) for tested compounds were determined on different stationary phases: RP18F, RP18WF and RP2F using ethanol, acetonitrile, and propan-2-ol as organic modifiers of mobile phases used.

The retention parameters (R, R) obtained under different chromatographic conditions, i.e.

This work relates to a newly synthesized betulin and betulone derivatives which have anticancer activity. Thin-layer chromatography was applied to evaluate the lipophilicity of these triterpenes in order to find the correlation between theoretically and experimentally calculated values of lipophilicity and the structure of compounds investigated.
