Structure Activity elationships (SA) identifies which functional groups are important for binding and activity SA Structure - Activity elationships (alkoholy, amíny, aldehydy, ketóny, estery, amidy, kyseliny, uhľovodíky) Method alter, remove or mask a functional group test the analogue for activity method of testing: in vitro target - trarget activity response in vitro on cells or in vivo - biological response (binding interactions with target (e.g. enzyme)) biological response (target binding pharmacokinetic properties) M-II Andrej Boháč if group is removed or modified and in vitro activity: drops or diminished => group was important for binding unaffected => group is not important onsider by analogues: 5. Structure Activity elationships (SA) modifications may disrupt binding by steric or electronic effects easiest analogues are those made directly from a lead compound 3 some analogues have to be made by a full (de novo) synthesis (e.g. replacing an aromatic ring with a heterocyclic ring) SA allows identification of important groups involved in binding SA allows identification of the pharmacophore MPIE an opioid analgesic drug DEIE antitussive drug AALGESI ATIVITY DPS 1
