Abstract
This review is organized in three parts: firstly there is a general overview of recent developments in lipophilicity written to induce medicinal chemists to question what they want to obtain from this kind of study; secondly, the state-of-the-art of experimental and computational determination of log P is briefly reviewed; finally, some applications are discussed to illustrate how much information can be extracted from lipophilicity, and to highlight the difficulty of obtaining a reliable, general method to work with.
Keywords: log p, log d, partitioning system, clogp, distribution profile, folding

Bioprospecting of Natural Products as Sources of New Multitarget Therapies
According to the Convention on Biological Diversity, bioprospecting is the exploration of biodiversity and indigenous knowledge to develop commercially valuable products for pharmaceutical and other applications. Bioprospecting involves searching for useful organic compounds in plants, fungi, marine organisms, and microorganisms. Natural products traditionally constituted the primary source of more than ...read more
