Description

Ion-transfer volutammetry at a nitrobenzene/water interface was performed to study the ion-transfer reaction and the adsorption of histamine and anti-histamine drugs, such as dl-chlorpheniramine, clemastine, diphenhydramine, cyproheptadine, meclizine, promethazine, ketotifen, and terfenadine. Ion-transfer volutammograms showed that all anti-histamine drugs gave an anodic wave at a potential less positive than that of histamine. Electrocapillary curves showed that the anti-histamine drugs were adsorbed on the interface with great facility. We assessed the effects of the ionization of these drugs on the ion-transfer reaction and adsorption by ion-transfer volutammograms and electrocapillary curves, respectively. Based on these results, the half-wave potentials for the drugs at pH 4 were plotted against the calculated log KD values obtained by using PALLSA (CompuDrug International). The half-wave potentials had a strong correlation with the calculated log KD values. We conclude that the half-wave potentials determined by the present method would be a more reliable parameter of hydrophobicity for neutral and ionic forms of drugs when dealing with structure-activity relationships of drugs compared to experimental log P values obtained by the conventional methods.<br>
