The pharmacophore model of the title compounds was built by constrained sys
tematic search program. It is very similar to the model determined through
the template (M-22) obtained from DISCO model involving 9 different skeleto
n PSII inhibitors. The CoMFA calculations to the active conformation molecu
le from two methods were proceeded respectively. PM3 quantum chemistry calc
ulation was taken, the result shows that the electronic structures of two c
onformers obtained from different methods are almost identical. The structu
re-activity relationship was studied on electrostatic, steric field and ele
ctronic structure. The research result provides the important information f
or molecular design.
