Correlation of global electrophilicity with the activation energy in single-step concerted reactions.

The experimental energy of activation (Ea) of the single-step concerted oxidation process of aliphatic primary alcohols by quinolinium bromochromate (QBC) are correlated with the theoretically evaluated global electrophilicity values (w) [as proposed by Parr et al. (J. Am.

Chemoselectivities in acetalization, thioacetalization, oxathioacetalization and azathioacetalization.

In the present article (experimental as well theoretical) the relative yields of cyclic (O,O), (S,S), (S,O), and (S,N) acetals, formed from p-(NO2)C6H4CHO and p-(OH)C6H4CHO, are compared. Atomic charges, global electrophilicity descriptor (w) [as proposed by Parr et al., J.

A quantitative structure-activity relationship study on a series of Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitors.

A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study has been made on a new series of digitalis-like Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitors in which the guanylhydrazone group has been replaced by an aminoalkyloxime group. The correlations obtained have shown that the oxime moiety, primary amine group, overall size, and polarizability of the new type of substituents are higly beneficial to the Na+,K+-ATPase inhibition potency of the compounds and that their effect can be quantitatively assessed. The study also showed that the inotropic activity of the compounds is very well correlated with their Na+,K+-ATPase inhibition potency.

Quantitative structure-activity relationship studies on some series of calcium channel blockers.

A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study has been made on four different series of dihydropyrimidine analogs that mimic the most widely studied class of calcium channel blockers (CCBs)-the 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP) class. The results show that almost all those characteristics that are essential for the activity of 1,4-DHPs are also essential for the activity of dihydropyrimidine analogs. The important characterstics indicated by the present study for dihydropyrimidine analogs are conformation of the molecule, the relative orientation of the aryl ring with respect to the pyrimidine ring, and some substituents capable of forming the hydrogen bonds with the receptor but less bulky in nature, and high molar refractivity of the molecule.
