Abstract (EN): For the last several years, searching of new xanthone derivatives (XDs) with potential pharmacological activities has remained one of the main areas of interest of our group. The optimization of biological activity and drug-like properties of hits and leads is crucial at early stage of the drug discovery pipeline. Lipophilicity is one of the most important drug-like properties having a great impact in both pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics processes. In this work, we describe the lipophilicity of a small library of bioactive XDs, previously synthesized by our group, using different methods: computational, vortex-assisted liquid liquid microextraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (VALLME-HPLC), reversed-phase high-performance thin layer chromatography (RP-HPTLC), reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), and biomembrane model by the partition between micelles and aqueous phase. The different results obtained by the used methods were compared and discussed. The methodologies and data gathered in this study will expand the investigation of lipophilicity of XDs, an important class of compounds in medicinal chemistry.
