154 BASIC CONCEPTS IN MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY
As will be discussed in Chapter 8, a common type of drug interaction can occur when a coad­ministered drug either induces or inhibits the activity of hepatic oxidative enzymes. In looking at the example given here, quazepam, the more lipid-soluble drug, requires oxidative metabolism and could be subject to this type of drug interaction, whereas temazepam, the more water-soluble drug, does not require oxidative metabolism and would not be subject to this type of drug interaction. Thus, the overall water/lipid solubility of a drug molecule affects both the extent to which it is metabolized and its potential to be involved in a certain type of drug interaction.
A SUMMARY OF THE ADVANTAGES OF ENHANCING EITHER WATER OR LIPID SOLUBILITY
Throughout this chapter, examples of specific drugs have been used to illustrate specific therapeutic benefits that can be gained through the enhancement of their respective water or lipid solubility. These advantages are summarized here.
Therapeutic Advantages of Enhancing Water Solubility
y Water solubility enhances the solvation and dissolution of drug molecules in the GI tract,
which is required for oral absorption.
y Water solubility allows for the preparation of concentrated IV, ophthalmic, and otic
solutions.
y Water solubility allows certain drug molecules (e.g., diuretics, antibiotics) to reach ade-
quate concentrations in the urine.
y Drug molecules with higher water solubility require less metabolism and are less likely to
have drug interactions with other drugs that alter hepatic oxidative enzymes (i.e., CYP450 enzymes).
Therapeutic Advantages of Enhancing Lipid Solubility
y Lipid solubility is required for drug molecules to pass through the lipid bilayer present
within the GI mucosal membrane.
y Adequate lipid solubility is required for drug molecules to cross the blood brain barrier and
have effects within the central nervous system.
y Lipid solubility allows for the use of IM or subcutaneous depot injections. This type of
administration allows for a slow release from the injection site and an extended duration of action.
y Drugs that are more lipid soluble have greater plasma protein binding, which may provide
a longer duration of action compared with analogous drugs that are more water soluble.
y Lipid-soluble salts and esters can be used to prepare more palatable oral suspensions. y Lipid-soluble salts and esters can delay the dissolution of drug molecules in the stomach
and therefore decrease the degradation of acid labile drugs.
y Lipid solubility can enhance the absorption of drugs that are administered via oral or nasal
inhalation.
y Lipid solubility can enhance the absorption of drugs that are administered as topical creams
or ointments.

Checkpoint Drug 1: Venetoclax
1. Draw the potassium salt of venetoclax.
A. In Chapter 3, you were asked to identify if venetoclax is an acidic drug, a basic drug, an
amphoteric drug, an electrolyte, or a nonelectrolyte. You should have determined that this is an amphoteric drug. Given this information, explain why the salt is only formed at one functional group.
B. Using the same functional group, draw a water-soluble organic salt of venetoclax.
CH 5 - SALTS AND SOLUBILITY 155
C. In comparison with the potassium salt, what advantages does the organic salt you
drew in question 1B provide?
2. Venetoclax is administered orally. Evaluate the functional groups present within the struc­ture of venetoclax and explain how these functional groups allow venetoclax to be orally active.
3. How could the addition of a hydroxyl group (Box A) provide opportunities to alter both the water and lipid solubility of venetoclax?
4. If the chlorine group (Box B) is removed, how would his affect the overall solubility of vene­toclax? What other chemical properties would also be affected?
Checkpoint Drug 2: Elamipretide
Elamipretide is a peptide-based drug molecule and cannot be administered orally due to instability in the GI tract. You identified in a previous chapter that there are both acidic (substituted phenol) and basic (guanidine and primary amine functional groups) present within the molecule.
156 BASIC CONCEPTS IN MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY
1. This drug has not yet been formulated into a salt for drug formulation and marketing purposes.
A. Identify two different forms of inorganic salts that could be formed with elamipretide.
B. Modify the structure below to show each of the two forms of salts that you identified.
C. Consider the parent drug and either of the salt forms of the drug from Question 1B and
determine which form of the drug will have improved solvation, dissolution, and water solubility. Provide a brief rationale for your answer.
2. This drug will likely need to be administered via injection. Based on your structural evalu­ation of this molecule, determine whether formulation as a water-soluble organic salt is beneficial. Provide a brief rationale for your answer.
3. Log P for elamipretide is calculated to be 0.3677 (Accelrys Draw 4.2).
A. Based on the cLog P values in Table 5-2 for the HMGCoA reductase inhibitors, deter-
mine if elamipretide is likely to be more water soluble or more lipid soluble than this class of drugs.
B. Based on the structure evaluation that you conducted in Chapter 2, does your func-
tional group evaluation agree with or disagree with your answer to Question 3A?

C. Predict what types of structural modifications would be necessary to increase the lipo-
philic character of this drug.
4. Elamipretide is subject to degradation by amino and carboxy peptidases. To protect pep­tide-based drugs from this type of degradation, the amino and carboxy termini can be “protected” via the use of lipid-soluble prodrugs. In this case, the carboxy terminus has already been protected as an amide, which makes the drug resistant to degradation by carboxy peptidases.
A. What kind of modification could occur at the amino terminus of elamipretide?
B. Identify which physicochemical properties of elamipretide will change if a lipid-soluble
prodrug is in fact developed. Don’t forget the impact on cLog P!

160 BASIC CONCEPTS IN MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY
C. Based on your structural evaluation of hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity, provide a
brief structural rationale for why tretinoin can be administered orally.
D. Some patients prefer to use an oral product for the treatment of acne. Isotretinoin is
an orally available isomer of tretinoin. The following statement is found within the isotretinoin capsule package insert. Based on this statement, evaluate isotretinoin’s structural features and provide a rationale for why it is capable of being systemically distributed.
Package Insert Statement: “Accutane must not be used by female patients who are or may
become pregnant. There is an extremely high risk that severe birth defects will result if preg­nancy occurs while taking Accutane in any amount, even for short periods of time. Potentially any fetus exposed during pregnancy can be affected. There are no accurate means of deter­mining whether an exposed fetus has been affected. Pregnancy category X.”
6. An 85-year-old patient presents you with three containers, each containing one of the drugs shown. The patient knows that each of these medications is used to treat different types of fungal infections and that some of them can be applied topically. Now that they have returned from a Caribbean cruise, he and his wife both must treat the athlete’s feet that they contracted. She wants to take a medication orally because she doesn’t like to have messy fingers. He could not care less what type of medication he uses, as long as it fixes the problem.
A. For each of these drug molecules, complete the structure evaluation in the grid on the
next page.

10. Both vitamin E and vitamin A (in the form of retinol) are used in the management of skin conditions, including acne, wound healing, and the effects of aging.
A. Vitamin A has a cLog P = 4.6. Vitamin E has a cLog P = 8.4. Provide a structural ration-
ale for why these vitamins can be administered topically.
B. Oral administration of these agents is a challenge because vitamin A is considered
“insoluble” and vitamin E is only dispersible in aqueous solution. Given the information presented in this chapter, identify two ways that each of these molecules could be structurally modified to improve aqueous solubility.
A 25-year-old woman approaches the counter and asks for a private consultation. During
11. the consultation, she reports that she suspects that she has a vaginal yeast infection. From doing some Internet searching, she knows that creams, suppositories, and tablets are avail­able and has a box of each formulation in her hands. She really wants to take the tablet form because it is the least messy but doesn’t understand how that could possibly treat an external infection.
Terconazole is available as a cream or suppository.
Fluconazole is available as a tablet.
Miconazole is available as a cream or ointment.
