Wj. Cho et al., Synthesis and comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) of antitumor 3-arylisoquinoline derivatives, BIO MED CH, 6(12), 1998, pp. 2449-2458
In this study a series of 3-arylisoquinoline derivatives were synthesized a
nd cytotoxicity against human melanoma tumor cell evaluated, and a three di
mensional quantitative structure-activity relationship was investigated usi
ng the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA). The results suggested
that the electrostatic, steric and hydrophobic factors of 3-arylisoquinolin
es were strongly correlated with the antitumor activity. Considerable predi
ctive ability (cross-validated r(2) as high as 0.721) was obtained through
