Abstract

A relationship between the electronic structure of the maytansinoids, quassinoids and cucurbitacins and their biological activities (cytotoxicity, antitumor activity) was established on the basis of semiempirical SCF-MO calculations, using multiple linear regression analysis as a framework. Based on this relationship, the pharmacophore could be evaluated, and some novel derivatives were designed.
