ABSTRACT
Background- The ratio of a compound's equilibrium concentrations in a mixture of two immiscible
liquids is known as the partition coefficient (P). This ratio therefore compares the solute's solubility
in each of these two liquids. The partition coefficient is a term that describes the concentration ratio
of unionised chemical species. The aim of this study is to have a better understanding of
sitagliptine's (SGP) molecular behavior. In the current work, the logP of sitagliptine were
considered experimentally beyond compare. LogP is the main physiochemical variable employed
in drug improvement.
Methods-For determination of Partition Co-efficient of sitagliptine, the following steps are to be
followed, At first, separating funnel (250ml) was cleaned and dried properly and labeled it.100
ml of n-Octanol, 100 ml of distilled water and 100mg of standard drug (sitagliptine) were
transferred into the separating funnel. Separating funnel was shacked properly by shaking (shake
flax method) for 2hrs intermittently 15minutes. Then this solution was stand for 24 hours for
separating the aqueous and organic layers. Aqueous layer was separated out from organic layersafter 24 hrs in the two different beakers. The absorbance values were measured in two different
medium i.e. organic and aqueous layers at two different wavelengths with the help of UV-visible
spectrophotometer. Then these values were used for calculating the partition coefficient.
Result- According to our research, sitagliptine has logP value of 1.45, which were calculated
from our experiments.
Conclusion- We performed this experiment in order to gain insights about the molecular
behavior of Sitagliptine (SGP). In the present study log P of Sitagliptine was calculated
experimentally for the first time. log P is the main important physicochemical parameter helpful
in drug development. We concluded our study of sitagliptine log P value to be 1.45 as calculated
from our experiments.
