Selection of a reference partitioning system for drug design work.

Consideration of the structural, polar, and transport properties of water-saturated solvent and solvent-saturated water phases of three general and eight specific binary systems leads to the conclusion that the n-octanol-water system is a very good all-round compromise for use as a reference system for biological partitioning in drug design work.
