An extensive set of computed molecular properties, both steric and electronic, have been calculated using molecular orbital and empirical methods for benzoic acid (1) and a congeneric series of substituted benzoic acids, i.e. 2-, 3- and 4-fluorobenzoic acids (2–4), 2-, 3- and 4-trifluoromethyl benzoic acids (5–7), 2-, 3- and 4-methylbenzoic acids (8–10), 4-amino benzoic acid (11), 2-fluoro-4 trifluoromethyl benzoic acid (12), 4-fluoro-2-trifluoromethyl benzoic acid (13), 3-trifluoromethyl-4 fluorobenzoic acid (14). We have monitored the urinary excretion profiles and determined the metabolic fate of compounds 2–7, 12–14 in the rat using high resolution 1H and 19F NMR spectroscopy. Corresponding data for compounds 1, 8–11 are taken from the literature. In all cases phase II glucuronidation or glycine conjugation reactions dominated the metabolism of these compounds. Compounds 5, 7, 12, 13 have ester glucuronides as their major metabolites; the rest primarily form glycine conjugates. Compounds (1–12) have been classified according to their calculated physicochemical properties using pattern recognition methods and principal components maps have been used as a novel type of structure metabolism diagram. The maps of compounds in the physicochemical property space served to separate the compounds into the two major classes which related to their principal metabolic fate in vivo, namely glucuronidation versus glycine conjugation. Compounds 13 and 14 were used as further probes of the property space, and dominant metabolic fates of glucuronidation and glycine conjugation, respectively, were predicted from the previous “training set map”. The metabolic fate of compounds 1–14 can thus be classified according to a simple set of physicochemical rules. Investigation of the physicochemical properties which are important in distinguishing the metabolic fate of the compounds may give insight into key features of the drug-metabolizing enzyme active sites and hence provide information on basic mechanisms of benzoate metabolism.
