Abstract: The distribution coefficients of hydrocortisone in some solvent/water systems in-dicate that hydrocortisone has a stronger hydrogen bonds with alcohols and ketones, butcomparatively weak hydrogen bonds with esters, ethers and chlorocarbons.Hydrocortisonecan hardly form hydrogen bonding interaction with tetrachloromethane, benzene, and cyclo-hexane.

Key words: hydrocortisone, solvent-solute interaction, hydrogen bond, distribution coefficient
