Methodology: Values obtained using cheminformatics modeling
Results:
• logS (solubility) vs. pH: shows a rapid decrease in solubility between pH 6–8, plateauing beyond pH 9.
• logD (lipophilicity) vs. pH: increases from ~–2.5 at acidic pH to +0.5 at pH > 9.
• Interpretation: Compound is ionized in acidic environments (enhancing solubility) and becomes neutral/lipophilic in basic or physiological pH (enhancing absorption and enzymatic activation).
Conclusion:
These data support the compound’s function as a pH-responsive, amphiphilic prodrug designed for enzymatic hydrolysis into L-theanine and amphetamine.
