Abstract
Background: The triazole ring is an attractive structural unit in medicinal chemistry, and chemical compounds containing this type of system in their structure exhibit a wide spectrum of biological activity. They are used in the development of new pharmaceuticals. One of the basic parameters considered in the initial phase of designing potential drugs is lipophilicity, which affects the bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of drugs. Methods: The study aimed to assess the lipophilicity of fifteen new triazole derivatives of aniline using reversed phase thin layer chromatography (RP-TLC) and free web servers. Based on in silico methods, the drug similarity and pharmacokinetic profile (ADMET) of synthesized molecules were assessed. Results: A relationship was observed between the structure of the title compound, including the position of substitution in the aniline ring, and the experimental values of lipophilicity parameters (logP(TLC)). Most of the algorithms used to determine theoretical logP values showed less sensitivity to structural differences of the tested molecules. All obtained derivatives satisfy the drug similarity rules formulated by Lipinski, Ghose and Veber. Moreover, in silico analysis of the ADME profile showed favorable values of parameters related to absorption.
