Abstract: CETP Inhibitors have improved solubility and bioavailability in a lipophilic vehicle comprising a digestible oil, a lipophilic solvent, or a surfactant. Preferred such compositions are self-emulsifying or self-microemulsifying, and comprise 1. a CETP inhibitor; 2. a cosolvent; 3. a surfactant having an HLB of 1 to 8; 4. a surfactant having an HLB of over 8 to 20; and 5. optionally, a digestible oil.

Abstract: This invention provides a RP-HPLC method, for the determination of logPoct values, which combines ease of operation and high accuracy, and which has been shown to work for a set of 36 molecules largely comprised of drugs. The general features of the method are: i) compound sparing (≦1 mL of a 30-50 &mgr;g/mL solution needed), ii) rapid determinations (20 minutes on average), iii) low sensitivity to impurities, iv) wide lipophilicity range (6 logPoct units), v) good accuracy, vi) excellent reproducibility. A linear free energy relationship (LFER) analysis, based on solvation parameters, shows that the method encodes the same information obtained from a shake-flask logPoct determination. The value generated via this method is referred to as ElogPoct.

Abstract: A RP-HPLC method for the determination of ElogDoct values for chemical compounds from retention time of each sample of the compound using (EQ1) drop in equation. This method has been shown to be effective on a set of 90 molecules.
