A statistically robust model [log(1/ IGC50)= 0.73 log (KDMPC)−1.62; n=23, r2=0.926, s=0.24, F=263, Pr/gt F=0.0001] was found for non-polar narcotics, polar narcotics, as well as esters with the DMPC partition coefficient. The above model was statistically better than the model [log(1/IGC50) = 0.71 (log Kow) − 1.60; n = 23, r2 = 0.828, s = 0.39, F = 101, Pr> F = 0.0001] developed for the same compounds with 1-octanol/water partitioning as the independent variable. The former equation does not explain the difference in the acute mechanisms of toxic action known to exist in fish for non-polar and polar narcotics. However, log KDMPC appears to correct for differences in the concentration of toxicant reaching the site of toxic action between narcotic mechanisms. Outliers to the log KDMPC model were primary aliphatic amines.","PeriodicalId":20818,"journal":{"name":"Quantitative Structure-activity Relationships","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80499396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our main aim in this work is to determine correlations between the logarithm of capacity factors and preclinical pharmacology and therapeutic efficacy parameters of barbiturates. The predictive and interpretative capability of quantitative chromatographic retention-biological activity models is supported by the fact that in adequate experimental conditions the solute partitioning into chromatographic system can emulate the solute partitioning into lipid bilayers of biological membranes, which is the basis for drug and metabolite uptake, passive transport across membranes and bioaccumulation. Thirteen barbiturates were included in the study. The RP-HPLC capacity factors of barbiturates were determined using different Brij35 concentrations as micellar mobile phases. Relationships between sixteen biological activities of barbiturates reported in bibliography and retention data are established and their predictive and interpretative ability are evaluated. These logarithmic relationships were significant between preclinical pharmacology parameters and the retention factors of barbiturates; so the regression coefficients (R2) for ED, EC50-LRR and duration of action were 0.97, 0.98 and 0.95, respectively. These relationships were great too for therapeutic efficacy parameters; i.e for IC50, Ki (50% inhibition displaceable [14C]-amobarbital binding to acetylcholine receptor-rich membranes) and Ki (for PIP-kinase) (R2=0.98). The results indicate, the retention of compounds in MLC, which depends on hydrophobic, electronic and steric features of compounds and is measured in flow conditions, is capable to describe and predict in vitro the biological responses of barbiturates. This approach merits further exploration in other classes of compounds.","PeriodicalId":20818,"journal":{"name":"Quantitative Structure-activity Relationships","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73707669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assuming that all the compounds interact at the same binding site at the enzyme level, DuP697 pharmacophoric conformation served as a template for the superimposition of 54 structurally heterogeneous COX-2 inhibitors constituting both the training and test sets used to perform a 3D-QSAR study via the CoMFA method. A statistically significant model was obtained with 38 compounds of the training set (n=38, q2=0,70, N=3, r2=0,93, s=0,38, F=156) with steric and electrostatic relative contributions of 40% and 60%, respectively. The predictive power of the proposed model was discerned by successfully testing the 16 compounds constituting the test set.

Initially the variation of structure was characterized by the Free-Wilson method and analyzed by multiple linear regression (MLR) and partial least squares analysis (PLS). Both methods revealed an increase in activity, if the N1-phenyl substituent of the parent molecule is meta-substituted with groups, that show a positive resonance effect at the annular structure. To include physicochemical aspects a combined Free-Wilson-Hansch approach was used. Because of high intercorrelations among some physicochemical parameters a principal component-analysis (PCA) was performed to extract information from those intercorrelated variables in a few principal components (PC's). The resulting equations indicate that besides an electron donating group at the central amidrazone moiety electronic effects at the arylhydrazone substituent play an important role for the biological activity.","PeriodicalId":20818,"journal":{"name":"Quantitative Structure-activity Relationships","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81578008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
