A novel approach to determining physicochemical and absorption properties of 6-fluoroquinolone derivatives: experimental assessment
The ToSS MoDe approach is used to estimate the n-octanol/buffer partition coefficient, the apparent intestinal absorption rate constant and intestinal permeability from a 6-fluoroquinolone data set. Improved in silico methods for predicting a drug's ability to be transported across biological membranes and other biopharmaceutical properties is highly desirable to optimize new drug development. The physicochemical property (Log P) of 26 6-fluoroquinolone derivatives and the absorption properties (Log K(a) and Log P(eff)) of 21 derivatives were well described by the present approach. The models obtained confirm the important role of lipophilicity in the absorption process and its relation wit…
A topological sub-structural approach for predicting human intestinal absorption of drugs.
The human intestinal absorption (HIA) of drugs was studied using a topological sub-structural approach (TOPS-MODE). The drugs were divided into three classes according to reported cutoff values for HIA. "Poor" absorption was defined as HIAor =30%, "high" absorption as HIAor =80%, whereas "moderate" absorption was defined between these two values (30%HIA79%). Two linear discriminant analyses were carried out on a training set of 82 compounds. The percentages of correct classification, for both models, were 89.02%. The predictive power of the models were validated by three test: a leave-one-out cross validation procedure (88.9% and 87.9%), an external prediction set of 127 drugs (92.9% and 80…
