Twelve analogues of 1-(substituted benzenesulphonyl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-
2-carboxylic acid have been synthesized and tested for antineoplastic
activity in Swiss albino mice with an Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC)
cell line. The values of percent inhibition of growth, both in ascitic
cell count and fluid weight, have been taken as activity parameters.
Quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) have been studied
using the LFER model. The best correlation (R2 = 93.0%) was found usi
ng molar refractivity (MR), which measures the molar volume and polari
zability of the substituents.
