Abstract

Physicochemical properties, such as solubility, are important when prioritising compounds for progression on a drug discovery project. There is limited literature around the systematic effects of core changes on thermodynamic solubility. This work details the synthesis of nitrogen containing 6,5-bicyclic heterocyclic cores which are common scaffolds in medicinal chemistry and the analysis of their physicochemical properties, particularly, thermodynamic solubility. Crystalline solids were obtained where possible to enable a robust comparison of the thermodynamic solubility. Other parameters such as pKa, melting point and lipophilicity were also measured to determine the key factors affecting the observed solubility.
