Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The impact of lipophilicity as a factor contributing to hERG potency is assessed for a large dataset of compounds of differing ionisation type. This dataset is derived from compounds tested in the IonWorks-based in vitro electrophysiology hERG assay at AstraZeneca. Using logistic regression, a quantification of the risk associated with increasing lipophilicity is presented. The anticipated differences between acidic, basic and neutral compounds are apparent in the data but lipophilicity is shown to be a stronger driver for hERG potency than might have been expected. Simple rules defining target lipophilicity values for minimizing hERG liability are derived.
