Determination of ionization constants of selected monocarbohydrazone derivatites

Abstract

Carbohydrazone derivatives represent a very significant class of compounds due to their wide biological activity. Ionization states of functional groups present in the molecule are of vital importance for understanding of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the newly synthesized compounds. One of the physicochemical parameters, the ionization constant (pKa), can be used as a molecular descriptor in order to relate structure and activity of a compound, which may indicate further potential application of newly synthesized derivatives. In this work, ionization constants of twenty monocarbohydrazone derivatives were determined using potentiometric method, in order to obtain information about their ionization states under certain conditions.Poster: [https://cer.ihtm.bg.ac.rs/handle/123456789/3689]The paper: [https://cer.ihtm.bg.ac.rs/handle/123456789/4361
