A. Valla et al., A TENTATIVE DESCRIPTIVE MODELING OF CHEMICAL STRUCTURE-BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS - BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF A SERIES OF POLYETHYLENIC ACIDS, Die Pharmazie, 48(4), 1993, pp. 295-301
48 new polyethylenic-malonic acids have been submitted to an antimicro
bial and antifungal screening. After a suitable recoding, the experime
ntal results were analyzed according to two mathematical multivariate
analysis using a computer process i.e. Correspondence Factorial Analys
is and Cluster Analysis. These methods allowed an accurate study of th
e structure of the system and a thorough investigation of the structur
e-activity-specificity relationships. On the other side, magnitude and
/or specificity of the observed biological effects were related to str
uctural features. These results should be useful in order to elaborate
synthetic strategies.
