Towards the rational design of novel drugs based on solubility partitioning/distribution biomimetic permeability and biological activity exemplified by 124-thiadiazole derivatives

摘要

Novel 1,2,4-thiadiazole derivatives as potent neuroprotectors were synthesized and identified. Their ability to inhibit the glutamate stimulated Ca²⁺ uptake was investigated. The solubility of thiadiazoles was measured in a buffer solution (pH 7.4) at 298 K. The distribution coefficients in 1-octanol/buffer (pH 7.4) and 1-hexane/buffer (pH 7.4) immiscible phases as model systems imitating the gastrointestinal tract epithelium and the blood–brain barrier were determined. Permeation experiments the new Permeapad™ barrier using Franz diffusion cells were conducted and the apparent permeability coefficients were obtained. The influence of the compound structure on the physicochemical properties determining the bioavailability of drug-like substances was revealed. Solubility–permeability interplay has been assessed to evaluate potential bioavailability of the compounds studied.
