Molecular lipophilicity potential by CLIP, a reliable tool for the description of the 3D distribution of lipophilicity: application to 3-phenyloxazolidin-2-one, a prototype series of reversible MAOA inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1998 Jun 2;8(11):1425-30. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(98)00230-3.

Abstract

The capacity factor of eleven derivatives belonging to a prototype series of 3-phenyloxazolidin-2-one, reversible MAO inhibitors, was measured and compared to the calculated log Pcalc using the CLIP package. We demonstrate that this Molecular Lipophilicity Potential (MLP) approach is a valuable tool to estimate log Pcalc of such compounds.
