Structure-activity relationship (SAR)
• Three important elements to be considered
• Character (effects) of functional groups
• EDG or EWG > Affects electron density>may affect Pi-Pi interaction
• Example
1. Hydroxyl is the most polar
functional group followed by
chloro and non-polar alkyl
groups
20 µM 12 µM 2 µM 2. Hydroxylated compound is the
most active compound while
• Size, shape, and length of functional groups/fragments chlorinated (EWG) compound is
the weakest compound.
3. High polarity promotes activity
Blue contours = Electron deficient groups (more positive) increase activity
Red contours = Electron rich groups (less positive) increase activity.
