K. Kralova et al., QUANTITATIVE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN INHIBITION OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND LIPOPHILICITY OF PIPERIDINOETHYL ALKOXYPHENYLCARBAMATES, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 59(10), 1994, pp. 2293-2302
Piperidinoethyl esters of 2-, 3- and 4-alkoxy substituted phenylcarbam
ic acids (PAPC) inhibit photosynthetic processes in alga Chlorella vul
garis and spinach chloroplasts. These inhibitory activities of PAPC we
re correlated with chromatographically determined lipophilicity charac
teristics log k' (from HPLC) and Kovats indices K(IO) (from gas chroma
tography) using parabolic and bilinear model. Both theoretical models
are suitable for description of studied correlations, however from the
viewpoint of statistical analysis Kubinyi's bilinear model gives bett
er results.
