Prediction of the lipophilicity of nine new synthesized selenazoly and three aroyl-hydrazinoselenazoles derivatives by reversed-phase high performance thin-layer chromatography.

Using reversed-phase high-performance thin-layer chromatography and a methanol-water mixture as the mobile phase, the lipophilicity of 12 new synthesized derivatives is studied. The first eight compounds have as a basic chemical structure aryliden-hydrazino-selenazoles, and the second group of the three compounds belongs to aroyl-hydrazinoselenazoles. The linear correlation between R(Mw) and the methanol-water ratios showed high values for the correlation coefficient. The chromatographic hydrophobic index is determined by using the ratio -R(Mw)/S, and the obtained values ranged between 99 and 73. A good linear correlation is obtained between R(Mw) and the slope. The log P values are calculated using ACD/Labs Software. The matrices are formed with R(Mw) and log P and are subjected to a principal component analysis (PCA). The best way to extract information from PCA is graphically, by plotting the obtained matrices. By analyzing the scores, the compounds can be grouped as follows: a group containing nine compounds, and a second one containing three compounds. Each group of compounds has the same basic chemical structure.
