A fast-gradient high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method has been suggested to characterize the interactions of drugs with an immobilized artificial membrane (IAM). With a set of standards, the gradient retention times can be converted to Chromatographic Hydrophobicity Index values referring to IAM chromatography (CHI(IAM)) that approximates an acetonitrile concentration with which the equal distribution of compound can be achieved between the mobile phase and IAM. The CHI(IAM) values are more suitable for interlaboratory comparison and for high throughput screening of new molecular entities than the log k(IAM) values (isocratic retention factor on IAM). The fast-gradient method has been validated against the isocratic log k(IAM) values using the linear free energy relationship solvation equations based on the data from 48 compounds. The compound set was selected to provide a wide range and the least cross-correlation between the molecular descriptors in the solvation equation: (2) where SP is a solute property (e.g., logarithm of partition coefficients, reversed-phase (RP)-HPLC retention parameters, such as log k, log k(w), etc.) and the explanatory variables are solute descriptors as follows: R(2) is an excess molar refraction that can be obtained from the measured refractive index of a compound, pi(2)(H) is the solute dipolarity/polarizability, summation operatoralpha(2)(H) and summation operatorbeta(2)(0) are the solute overall or effective hydrogen-bond acidity and basicity, respectively, and V(x) is the McGowan characteristic volume (in cm(3)/100 mol) that can be calculated for any solute simply from molecular structure using a table of atomic constants. It was found that the relative constants of the solvation equation were very similar for the CHI(IAM) and for the log k(IAM). The IAM lipophilicity scale was quite similar to the octanol/water lipophilicity scale for neutral compounds. The effect of charge on the interaction with IAM was studied by varying the mobile phase pH.

Chromatographic retention factor log k obtained from immobilized artificial membrane (IAM) HPLC with buffered, aqueous mobile phases and calculated molecular descriptors (molecular weight - log M; molar volume - V; polar surface area - PSA; total count of nitrogen and oxygen atoms -(N + O); count of freely rotable bonds - FRB; H-bond donor count - HD; H-bond acceptor count - HA; energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital - E; energy of the lowest unoccupied orbital - E; dipole moment - DM; polarizability - α) obtained for a group of 175 structurally unrelated compounds were tested in order to generate useful models of solutes' soil-water partition coefficient normalized to organic carbon log K. It was established that log k obtained in the conditions described in this study is not sufficient as a sole predictor of the soil-water partition coefficient. Simple, potentially useful models based on log k and a selection of readily available, calculated descriptors and accounting for over 88% of total variability were generated using multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural networks (ANN).

Chromatographic retention factor log obtained from IAM HPLC chromatography with buffered aqueous mobile phases and calculated molecular descriptors (surface area-; molar volume-; polar surface area-; count of freely rotable bonds-; H-bond acceptor count-; energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital-; energy of the lowest unoccupied orbital-; and polarizability-) obtained for a group of 160 structurally unrelated compounds were tested in order to generate useful models of solutes' skin permeability coefficient log . It was established that log obtained in the conditions described in this study is not sufficient as a sole predictor of the skin permeability coefficient. Simple put, potentially useful models based on log and readily available calculated descriptors, accounting for 85 to 91% of the total variability, were generated using Multiple Linear Regression (MLR).

The passive membrane permeability of drugs may be potentially predicted by phospholipid-water sorption coefficient (K) through immobilized artificial membrane (IAM) chromatography. However, for predominantly ionized compounds, unexpected confounding electrostatic interaction would influence the accurate determination of K, accompanied by the mobile phase with varied pH and ionic strength. In order to measure the intrinsic phospholipid-water sorption coefficient (K) for diverse analytes, a mathematic model by characterizing the confounding electrostatic effects was developed in this study.

The sorption affinity of eighty-six charged amine structures to phospholipid monolayers (log K) was determined using immobilized artificial membrane high-performance liquid chromatography (IAM-HPLC). The amine compounds covered the most prevalent types of polar groups, widely ranged in structural complexity, and included forty-seven pharmaceuticals, as well as several narcotics and pesticides. Amine type specific corrective increments were used to align log K data with bilayer membrane sorption coefficients (K(IAM)).

The pharmacokinetic properties of flavonoids with differing degrees of lipophilicity were investigated using immobilized artificial membranes (IAMs) as the stationary phase in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). For each flavonoid compound, we investigated whether the type of column used affected the correlation between the retention factors and the calculated octanol/water partition (log Poct). Three-dimensional (3D) molecular descriptors were calculated from the molecular structure of each compound using i) VolSurf software, ii) the GRID method (computational procedure for determining energetically favorable binding sites in molecules of known structure using a probe for calculating the 3D molecular interaction fields, between the probe and the molecule), and iii) the relationship between partition and molecular structure, analyzed in terms of physicochemical descriptors.
