CHIKV causes chikungunya fever, which is mostly characterized by fever, arthralgia and, sometimes, a maculopapular rash. The bioactive constituents of hops (, Cannabaceae), mainly acylphloroglucinols, known as well as - and -acids, exerted distinct activity against CHIKV, without showing cytotoxicity.

They were obtained by sequential extraction of the aerial parts with hexane (fHex), dichloromethane (fDCM), ethyl acetate (fEtOAc) and methanol (fMeOH). The fMeOH from showed the highest antifungal spectrum (MIC = 750-1500 µg mL; MID = 50-200 µg; DI = 1.

The steady-state volume of distribution (VDss) is one of the key pharmacokinetic parameters required for the design of a suitable dosage regimen. The aim of the study is to propose a quantitative structure - pharmacokinetics relationships (QSPkR) for VDss of basic drugs.
