Challenge:

Design good physicochemistry into the molecules as early as possible.

What we know:

Physicochemistry correlates with ADME/tox.

Outline

1. Existing assays• logP, TPSA, CACO2, PAMPA,...

2. Amphiphilicity through surface activity• Model justification• Physicochemical parameters obtained

3. Overview on Delta-8 technology• Features and specifications

Lipid bilayers: barrier for the entry of drugs into cells by passive diffusion

Ambiguous amphiphiles

In order to be useful as a drug a compound

• has to dissolve in water hydrophilicity required• has to permeate lipid bilayers lipophilicity required

•Hydrophilic part e.g. carboxylic acid derivatives•Lipophilic part e.g. hydrocarbon chain

Air-water interface – a good model for lipid membranes

• Amphiphiles are strongly oriented in lipid membranes and in the air-water interface.

• Partitioning into both interfaces is mainly driven by the hydrophobic effect

Air/water interface: Phospholipid bilayer:

Air-water interface: presence of multiple equilibria
