 I have used  Hyperchem and chemplus to do LogP calculation of organic
 compounds and the agreement is quite good. Chemplus  is a program that
 runs under Hyperchem  Autodesk use to market Hyperchem but now is market

 was recently a good article on the subject :

 Dear Dr. Ballester;
      CompuDrug Chemistry, Ltd. markets a pretty good Windows-based programme
 called "PrologP 5.0" which enables you to estimate log P values for
 organic
 molecules from input structural information.  For more information, contact:
                  Dr. Zoltan Bencz, Marketing Director
                  CompuDrug Chemistry, Ltd.
                  Fuerst Sandor utca 5

 Dr. Bencz is most helpful and fluent in English.  Needless to say, PrologP
 5.0 is also in English.  The programme is relatively simple and straightfor-
 ward, doesn't require VAX or other expensive, high-power computers/work sta-
 tions, and you can learn how to use it rather quickly without the assistance
 of a couple of Ph.D. computational chemists standing behind you.  What more
 can you ask for?

 I sell a program called MOLGEN which calculates log(p), also,
 distribution on surface or in a plane of the molecule.  The latter
 calculation is displayable/plottable as a color gradient depiction.  It
 can also calculate conformationally/temperature dependency with respect
 to log(p).  Henry's constant is being added shortly.
 The program is also a full-featured 3-D modelling program and database
 with MM2, etc.  There is a demo on ccl.net in
 /pub/chemistry/software/MS-DOS/MOLGEN-demo.  Please let me know if I can
 be of further assistance.
 PS:  I have also used LOGKOW from Syracuse Research, an excellent
 program, but lacks the feature set in Molgen.

         We have developed a logP calculation model and the paper concering it
 has been published in Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Sciences,
 1994, Vol. 34, pages 752. I will be gald to send you a reprint if you need.
 If you are also interested in the program, you can get in touch with

 Computational Chemistry Scientists:
 I have seen a number of queries on this forum about hydrophobicity. A new
 program to evaluate HYDROPHOBICITY at the atomistic level recently became
 available, called HINT. Thanks to Tudor-Ionel Oprea for support comments of
 HINT.  This program is based on empirical data and hydrophobic fragment
 work of Hansch, Leo, Abraham, and Kellogg.  The program can: calculate log P
 (of small molecules and proteins), score ligand/macromolecule and
 macromolecule/macromolecule interactions, calculate 3D HYDROPATHY
 (hydrophobic + hydrophilic) fields, create hydropathic complementarity
 maps, produce unique 3D hydropathic interaction maps, and is interfaced
 with InsightII, Sybyl and ChemX.  If you are interested in additional
 information or a free trial of this software, please see the file
 HINT.note on the CCL archivess (infomeister) or contact me at the address
 below.
 You can find a comprehensive list of HINT functionality, the references
 to publications which describe HINT use, and ordering information in
 CCL archives. To get it via mail, send a message:

 Pierre,
 	Spartan is able to calculate LogP's - there is one model in V3.1 and
 two additional models in V4.0 (which is due to ship in April).  Have you seen
 or used Spartan - I recall that Ciba in the US is running the code...  Several
 models (Bodor, Ghose/Crippen, Villar) have been described in the literature in
 the last couple of years (J Am Chem Soc and J Comp Chem).

 Hi, Pierre.

 The QSAR Properties module of our ChemPlus package will calculate logP,
 hydration energy, and a variety of other properties.  We do not have a
 version for the Mac; our software runs under Windows on a PC.  This
 ChemPlus module works only with our own .HIN format; to get much use out
 of the program you would need to use HyperChem.  I can send you information
 about both of these programs if you wish.  The academic price for HyperChem
 is $US995, and for ChemPlus, US$495.

 I would appreciate it very much if you would forward to me any replies you
 recieve on this.
 The CaCHe system includes a program called BlogP by N. Bodor which will
 calculate logP, with some restrictions after a MOPAC calculation has been
 performed.
 Personal Cache is software which will run on a MAC (though I'm not sure it
 includes MOPAC).  Otherwise you will need a server/card for your system.
 It is very user friendly.

 Hello,
 BioByte offers a Mac version of Al Leo's cLogP (Chem. Rev.

 $400.  You can reach BioByte at P.O. Box 517, Claremont, CA 91711.

 Dear Dr. Acklin:
 We (BioByte Corp., based in Claremont, CA) have a ClogP calculator
 available for the Macintosh, called MacLogP.  It uses the same fragment
 based methodology as our Medchem ClogP for the VAX, developed by Drs.
 Albert Leo and Corwin Hansch.  It accepts SMILES input in single and
 batch mode, and output can be given in three levels of verbosity:
 terse, detailed, and verbose.  A 2D depiction is also given to verify
 structure.  In addition to the ability to calculate ClogP, it also
 contains high confidence measured values for 9000 well-known
 structures, which can also be searched for by name.
 We can send you a copy with a 30 day evaluation license either on a
 diskette or via e-mail.  For the e-mail version, you would need to be
 able to decode BinHex4.0 (.hqx) files.  If, after evaluating the
 program, you should wish to purchase it, we can send you a permanent
 license for $998.  Please e-mail me and let me know if you would like us
 to send you the evaluation copy, and which method of delivery you would
 prefer.
 Looking forward to hearing from you,
 Michael L. Medlin
 BioByte License Manager

 There is a code, HINT, which adds onto the Sybyl, InsightII or ChemX
 molecular modeling interface.  This code not only calculates logP but
 creates 3-D hydropathy fields to assist in understanding docking.  HINT
 is available for SGI only and the commercial price for one machine is
 $5,000.  Should you be interested in trialing this software for free,
 I will send you a demo license.

 It depends on what you want to do with the logP value.  The CompuDrug and
 Daylight Chemical Information (MedChem) software vare both fairly expensive.  A
 good inexpensive (US$200) option is the Hint! program of Abraham and Kellogg
 (Virginia Commonwealth University).  Glen Kellogg can be reached by email
 (gkellogg' at \`gems.vcu.edu).  It can also plot lipophilicity contours around
 molecules and can create lipophilic fields for use in CoMFA.

 I have been interested in the log(P) calculators but also have had
 difficulty getting information.  Also, I'm not sure how accurate they are.
 When I need to calculate a log(P), I usually do it "by hand" from the
 data
 provided by Rekker in his "Hydrophobic Fragmental Constant" work.  I
 am
 well versed in the method and find it generally gives good answers.  We
 have published a couple of papers with this approach.  I'll give you the
 references in case they might be useful to you:

      Bear Post- or Cotranslational Modifications", Black, S.D., and

     One package for calculating LogP is Polaris from Molecular Simulations
 Inc.  This program employs the protein dipole-Langevin dipole method of
 Arieh Warshel.  This method has been successful in calculating free energies
 of solvation, free energies of binding, delta pKa, and LogP values.

 I think that this is a New York number.
 By the way, we have the ProLogP software and would like to comment on a few
 items.
 First, It may be limited in that some compounds containing unique fragments
 will not compute with this software.  The method is a fragment addition
 method where it splits your compound into parts that it has in it's datbase
 and then adds up the LogP values.
 Also, Charged compounds and some particular ringsystems cannot be used.
 And most importantly, isomers are given the same LogP values.  Example-
 move a hudroxyl para, ortho or meta on an aromatic group.  The log P will
 be the same!
 Or move a hydroxyl around a steroid ring, all will have the same LogP.
 We compaired to the Daylight Chemical LogP stuff (much more expensive) and
 found similar limitations.  The values were not the same (even close to
 each other) between the packages).
 So. for use in QSAR, we do not use either of these.
 We have found a LogP method that works from the atom level rather than the
 fragment level and have used it to some extent.  It handles all compounds
 but still has the isomer problem.
