ACD/Labs LogP & LogD Software
Which program should I choose?
The octanol-water partition coefficient for non-charged structures (i.e., at pH values which suppress ionization) can be calculated using ACD/LogP DB, as well as its batch version ACD/LogP Batch. Calculation of the partition coefficient at variable pH is a more complicated task handled expertly by ACD/LogD.
ACD/LogD, part of ACD/LogD Suite, includes calculations of both logP and pKa, explains how the calculations have been made, and plots the dependence of apparent logP vs. pH. ACD/LogD Suite also calculates other properties that are related to logP, pKa, and logD-the bioconcentration factor (BCF) and the adsorption coefficient (Koc) at any desired pH. The ACD/LogD algorithm is also available in batch version as ACD/LogD Batch and ACD/LogD Sol Batch.
If pH-dependent Solubility and logD calculation are your concern, ACD/LogD Sol Suite and ACD/LogD Sol Batch will be the right products for you. (ACD/LogD Sol Suite includes the ACD/LogD Suite plus ACD/Solubility DB.)
To find out which ACD/Labs product, LogP or LogD, is right for your needs, compare the following features:

1 This column ONLY describes the features of the corresponding BATCH portion of the software; however, a full version of the corresponding "stand-alone" software is usually provided as a part of the batch products like ACD/LogD Batch, ACD/LogD Sol Batch, and ACD/LogP Batch.
2 ACD/LogD Batch and ACD/LogD Sol Batch include ACD/LogP Batch capabilities, in a similar way as ACD/LogD Suite and ACD/LogD Sol Suite include ACD/LogP DB software. ACD/LogD Batch and ACD/LogD Sol Batch also include the ACD/pKa Batch module.
