The Quantitative Property-Retention Relation (QPRR) approach was applied to analyze the correlations between the retention parameters of ampholytic, biologically active substances and their physicochemical (predicted/spectral) characteristics. The retention parameters were obtained for polar and semipolar HPLC columns at various compositions of mobile phases and pH conditions. These values are a unique collection of chromatographic parameters that are a measure of lipophilicity and, consequently, can be very helpful in assessing pharmacological potency of the compounds investigated. Three QPRR models that meet the predictive capability criteria were developed. The relationships can be used to gain pharmacologically interesting information on the biologically active ampholytic substances.
