Justification for type of information:
Internationally accepted calculation method, EPI-Suite EPA (USA): KOWWIN Program (v1.68)
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
KOWWIN uses a "fragment constant" methodology to predict log P.  In a "fragment constant" method, a structure is divided into fragments (atom or larger functional groups) and coefficient values of each fragment or group are summed together to yield the log P estimate.   KOWWIN’s methodology is known as an Atom/Fragment Contribution (AFC) method.  Coefficients for individual fragments and groups were derived by multiple regression of 2447 reliably measured log P values.
See the Meylan and Howard (1995) journal article for a more complete description of KOWWIN’s methodology (Meylan, W.M. and P.H. Howard.  1995.  Atom/fragment contribution method for estimating octanol-water partition coefficients.  J. Pharm. Sci. 84: 83-92.)
