Abstract

Aim: To introduce the available softwares used to calculate the lipid/ water partition coefficients of compounds and to compare the estimation accuracy. Methods: Based on the molecular structures selected, the values of log P were calculated using softwares CLOGP, Pallas, ACD/LogP and Molinspiration, and the estimation accuracy was assessed one by one. Results: The four softwares could accurately calculate the values of log P. Conclusion: Application of these softwares in the calculation of log P values of compounds facilitates computer-aided drug design.
