 QSAR approach attempts to identify and
quantify the physicochemical properties of a drug
and to see whether any of these properties has an
effect on the drug’s biological activity .
Introduction
QSAR – Physicochemical properties
• Hydrophobicity of the molecule. (log P).
• Hydrophobicity of the substituent.(the substituent hydrophobicity
constant (p) )
• Electronic properties of the substituents. (Hammett
Substituent Constant (s) )
• Steric properties of the substituents. Taft’s Steric Factor (Es)
 The biological activity of most drugs is related to a
combination of physico-chemical properties.
 In such cases, simple equations involving only one
parameter are relevant only if the other parameters are
kept constant.
 In reality, this is not easy to achieve and equations which
relate biological activity to more than one parameter are
more common.
 These equations are known as Hansch equations and they
usually relate biological activity to the most commonly
used physicochemical properties (logP ,electronic,and a
steric factor).
 If the range of hydrophobicity values is limited to a small
range then the equation will be linear .
log(1/C)= k1 log P + k2s + k3 Es +k4.
If the P values are spread over a large range then the
equation will be parabolic for the same reasons.
log (1/C) = - k1(log P)2 + k2 log P + k3 s + k4 Es +k5
Hansch Equation
•A QSAR equation relating various physicochemical properties to
the biological activity of a series of compounds
•Usually includes log P, electronic and steric factors
•Start with simple equations and elaborate as more structures are
synthesised
•Typical equation for a wide range of log P is parabolic

Conclusions:
•Activity increases if p is +ve (i.e. hydrophobic substituents)
•Activity increases if s is negative (i.e. e-donating substituents)
Example: Adrenergic blocking activity of b-halo-b-arylamines
CH CH2 NRR'
XY
Conclusions:
•Activity increases slightly as log P (hydrophobicity) increases (note that the
constant is only 0.14)
•Parabolic equation implies an optimum log Po value for activity
•Activity increases for hydrophobic substituents (esp. ring Y)
•Activity increases for e-withdrawing substituents (esp. ring Y)

 Substituents must be chosen to satisfy the following criteria;
• A range of values for each physicochemical property studied.
• Values must not be correlated for different properties (i.e. they
must be orthogonal in value)
• At least 5 structures are required for each parameter studied

Free-Wilson Approach
•The biological activity of the parent structure is measured and compared
with the activity of analogues bearing different substituents
•An equation is derived relating biological activity to the presence or absence
of particular substituents
Activity = k1X1 + k2X2 +.…knXn + Z
•Xn is an indicator variable which is given the value 0 or 1 depending on whether the
substituent (n) is present or not
•The contribution of each substituent (n) to activity is determined by the value of kn
•Z is a constant representing the overall activity of the structures studied
Method
Free-Wilson Approach
•No need for physicochemical constants or tables
•Useful for structures with unusual substituents
•Useful for quantifying the biological effects of molecular features that cannot be
quantified or tabulated by the Hansch method
Advantages
Disadvantages
•A large number of analogues need to be synthesised to represent each different
substituent and each different position of a substituent
•It is difficult to rationalise why specific substituents are good or bad for activity
•The effects of different substituents may not be additive
(e.g. intramolecular interactions)
