The model is based on the Ghose-Crippen-Viswanadhan LogP (ALogP) and consists of a regression equation based on the hydrophobicity contribution of 120 atom types as described in: A.K. Ghose and G.M. Crippen, J. Comput. Chem. 1986, 7, 565-577; V.N. Viswanadhan et al., J. Comput. Chem. 1993, 14, 1019-1026; A.K. Ghose, V.N. Viswanadhan, J.J. Wendoloski, J. Phys. Chem. A 1998, 102, 3762-3772. For the purpose of applicability domain assessment, the training set of the Meylan LogP model (9,961 compounds) has been considered, setting all molecules as belonging to the test set.

The model is based on the Atom/Fragment Contribution (AFC) method from the work of Meylan and Howard (W.M. Meylan and P.H. Howard, Atom/fragment contribution method for estimating octanol-water partition coefficients, 1995, J. Pharm. Sci. 84: 83-92.), as implemented in the EPI Suite KOWWIN module (http://www.epa.gov/oppt/exposure/pubs/episuite.htm). The calculated model has a lower bound of -5.0 log units (all predictions lower than this value are set to -5.0). A dataset of compounds with experimental logP values has been built starting from the original dataset provided in EPI suite. The set has been processed and cleared from compounds that were replicated or that had problems with the provided molecule structure. The final dataset has 9,961 compounds.

The octanol-water partition coefficient of organic compounds is estimated starting from the chemical structure, which is divided into fragments (atom or larger functional groups). Coefficient values of each fragment or group are summed together to yield the log P estimate.

Discussion
The applicability domain (AD) evaluation performed by the VEGA software suggests that the evaluated substance could be out of the models’ AD. According to the VEGA reports, the result obtained with the Meylan-KOWWIN model was slightly more reliable.
The result obtained with the SPARC model supports a slightly higher Log Pow, closer to the estimation obtained by Meylan-KOWWIN. Currently, there is no universally accepted definition of model domain; SPARC has been designed and parameterized to be applicable to any organic chemical structure. The partition coefficient model validation, performed on a dataset of 698 molecules, proved that the model can be used to provide reliable estimations.
Conclusion
Considering the obtained results, an average Log Pow value of 7.6 can be considered as a reasonable estimation for the whole substance.
