 | | Physicochemical molecular calculations of molecular weight, ClogP (partition coefficient octanol/water), logD at pH 7.4, and pKa were performed, for the cationic amphiphilic compounds chlorpromazine, amiodarone, imipramine, propranolol and fluoxetine, and for the structurally related compounds 1-phenylpiperazine (1-PHP), gepirone (and its major metabolites, 3-OH-gepirone and 1-pyrimidinylpiperazine [1-PP]), and buspirone. |
 | | ClogP and calculated pKa cluster differently for the amphiphilic drugs compared to the chemical series of piperazines. |
 | | Finally, the discriminative power of these physicochemical ClogP and pKa calculations to predict phospholipidosis-inducing potential was further validated by extension of the set of compounds. |
