The aim of this study was to evaluate bitterness by using "CCDP; Change in concentration-dependent potential" considering dose-dependency of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) as new and useful bitterness evaluation index compared with bitter sensor output value which is conventional bitterness evaluation index for 48 pediatric medicines from the recent edition of the WHO model list of essential medicines for children (7th edn, 2019). Solutions (0.01, 0.03, 0.1 mM) of the compounds were evaluated by an artificial taste sensor using membranes sensitive to bitterness. The dose-response slope of the sensor outputs was defined as CCDP. On the basis of principal component analysis of CCDPs, chlorpromazine hydrochloride, amitriptyline hydrochloride, propranolol hydrochloride, primaquine phosphate and haloperidol were predicted to express the strongest levels of basic bitterness, surpassing that of quinine hydrochloride. Correlation analysis (Fisher's exact tests and multiple regression analysis) was performed to determine the relation between CCDPs and various physicochemical properties participated in hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity. It is revealed that contribution physicochemical factors are different by individual basic bitterness sensor (AC0, AN0 or BT0), and this result becomes the criterion of the sensor choice to evaluate basic bitterness intensity using basic bitterness sensors. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions could be simulated by ligand docking modeling for haloperidol, miconazole and quinine hydrochloride. The pharmaceutical products need a bitterness evaluation in consideration of concentration-dependency to vary in a dose depending on a patient individual. Thus, it was concluded that CCDP correlated to hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity is useful as a bitterness evaluation index of APIs in pediatric medicines.
