Abstract

A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) has been formulated for a set of 269 phenyl N-methylcarbamates inhibiting fly head acetylcholinesterase. The data are from the extensive studies of Fukuto and Metcalf. The correlation equation obtained is pI50 = 0.56MR345 + 1.56MR2 - 0.61ES - 0.94( - + O2 + 1.43CHG - 0.23MR22 - 5.2472,62 + 3.465F2-6 + 0.66RGMR - 0.62HB - 0.05MR - 0.56 Eü + 3.46 where r2 = 0.796 and s = 0.485. In this expression MR refers to molar refractivity of substituents, Ea is the Taft steric parameter, 3 is an inductive parameter, RGMR refers to MR of certain parts of ring substituents, and CHG and HB are indicator variables for charged substituents and hydrogen bonding, respectively; r is the correlation coefficient and s is the standard deviation from the regression. The implication of this equation is discussed.
