QSAR have been developed for. the anticancer activity (growth inhibition) o
f various tumor cells by bis(11-oxo-11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoline-6-carboxamid
es), bis(phenazine-1-carboxamides), and bis(naphthalimides). Of the seven Q
SAR, positive hydrophobic interactions are found in only two examples: bis(
naphthalimides) versus human colon cancer cells. This is consistent with ot
her QSAR of anticancer compounds where hydrophobic interactions are found t
o be unimportant. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
