Jz. Chen et al., A 3D-QSAR STUDY ON GINKGOLIDES AND THEIR ANALOGS WITH COMPARATIVE MOLECULAR-FIELD ANALYSIS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 8(11), 1998, pp. 1291-1296
Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA), a three-dimensional quan
titative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) paradigm was used t
o study the correlation between the physicochemical properties and the
in vitro bioactivities of ginkgolide analogues. The correlation deriv
ed from CoMFA analysis has a good predictive capability. Based on the
result of CoMFA analysis, we designed some compounds. Pharmacological
assay indicated that three of these new designed compounds are 2 and 4
times more potent than thar of ginkgolides. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science
