title: Are calculated log P values for some guanine derivatives by different computer programs reliable?
abstract: The log P values of n-octanol/water for some guanine derivatives, acyclovir, deoxyaciclovir and their acetyl congeners, were calculated by some commercially available computer programs for log P calculation. These values were compared with those obtained by the conventional shake-flask method. It was established that the calculations of log P values for examined guanine derivatives by these computation programs do not give reliable results.
