The Hansch equation is a key mathematical relationship and a conceptual guiding principle (QSAR) in the practice of modern medicinal chemistry. Recent years have apparently witnessed a debate on the utility of QSAR, hence it seems opportune to explore its fundamental origins. The Hansch equation leads to a parabolic relationship between drug activity and hydrophobicity. Currently, this is expla...

Neural networks and inductive logic programming (ILP) have been compared to linear regression for modelling the QSAR of the inhibition of E. coli dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) by 2,4-diamino-5-(substituted benzyl)pyrimidines, and, in the subsequent paper [Hirst, J.D., King, R.D. and Sternberg, M.J.E. J. Comput.-Aided Mol. Design, 8 (1994) 421], the inhibition of rodent DHFR by 2,4-diamino-6,6-...

A comparative Hansch type QSAR study was conducted using multiple regression analysis on various sets of quinoxalines, quinoxalin-4-ones, quinazoline-2-carboxylates, 4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-ones, 2-carboxytetrahydroquinolines, phenyl-hydroxy-quinolones, nitroquinolones and 4-substituted-3-phenylquinolin-2(1H)-ones as selective glycine/NMDA site antagonists. Ten statistically validated equations...

As a part of a composite programme of rational drug design (RDD), we had synthesized some substituted benzenesulphonyl glutamines and evaluated their inhibitory activities against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) cell line in Swiss albino mice. Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) studies of these inhibitory activities using Fujita-Ban model as well as Modified Hansch-Fujita model...

With the public availability of large data sources such as ChEMBLdb and the Open PHACTS Discovery Platform, retrieval of data sets for certain protein targets of interest with consistent assay conditions is no longer a time consuming process. Especially the use of workflow engines such as KNIME or Pipeline Pilot allows complex queries and enables to simultaneously search for several targets. Da...
