In this report it is shown that there is a linear relationshipbetween the logarithms of the aqueous solubilities of organic liquids and their octanol-waterpartition coefficients. Since the logarithm of the partition coefficient is an additive-constitutive property of organic molecules, the water solubility of liquids whose partition coefficients have not been measured can be calculated. Or, one can simply construct a table of constants for the water solubility of organic liquids analogous to parachor values or molar refractivities. A problem of increasing importance in physical biochemistry and pharmacology is the selection of a suitable solvent pair (water and an apolar liquid) to serve as a model for the aqueous and lipid phases in biological systems. We have been using octanol-water partition coefficients for whole molecules or parts of molecules to estimate relative strengths of hydrophobic bonding in such systems. The present study would indicate that, with the exception of hydrocarbons, one could expect similar results from almost any monofunctional liquid, such as an alcohol, alkyl halide, ester, ketone, etc., representing the lipid phase.Since the classic work of Meyer3and Overton, 4 scientists concerned with the correlation of chemical structure with biological activity have been seeking suitable solvents to approximate the aqueous and fatty phases of living tissue. We have been using 1-octanol and water to obtain partition coefficients which could serve as hydrophobic bonding constants. When combined with suitable electronicand steric constants, these would form the basis for a multiple-parameter approach to structure-activity relationships in biochemical systems. 6
