Abstract

Abstract: The application of ionic liquids for the determination of lipophilicity parameters of the antipsychotic drugs as well as their QSRR analysis have been studied. The properties under consideration have been either determined empirically (experimental parameters of lipophilicity), by reversed-phase liquid chromatography (TLC and HPLC technique) with or without addition of mobile phase additives (ionic liquids), or calculated (theoretically computed lipophilicity parameters as logPs indices) with the use of established theoretical medicinal chemistry software (VCCLAB). Chromatographic techniques allowed to determine the retention constants and logkw that characterize lipophilicity of compounds. Considering potential pharmaceutical importance of antipsychotic drugs, we examined the retention behavior in the reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC) systems, in both planar and column LC, as well as both in the presence and absence of ionic liquids, and determined the relationships between chromatographic data and selected structural features of analytes using QSRR studies. Significant relationships were found between the retention constants, (with addition of ionic liquids) and logkw, and the in silico calculated logPs indices. Therefore, the and logkw values of the investigated compounds have been recommended for description of their lipophilicity.
