Functional Groups Bioactivity
Structure-activity relationship (SAR)
• An manual analysis to study the effects of compounds’
structure on their bioactivity
• Solely rely on personal knowledge and capability in analyzing
the data
• Three important elements to be compared
• Type of functional groups

1. Hydroxyl group is the most potent


functional group
2. Hydroxyl group improved the activity
3. Methyl group improved the activity
• Example: but such improvement is lower than
that of hydroxyl group

20 µM 12 µM 2 µM
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

1. Hydroxyl and methyl groups


are EDGs
2. Hydroxylated compound is the
most active compound while
• Example chlorinated (EWG) compound
is the weakest compound.
3. High Electron density promotes
activity

Structure-activity relationship (SAR)
• Three important elements to be considered
• Character (effects) of functional groups
• Polarity > Affects hydrophilicity>may affect hydrogen bonding

• 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.
