title: A structure-activity relationship study on papaverine analogs.
abstract: The structure-activity relationship of papaverine analogs, the inhibitors of adenosine cyclic 3', 5'-monophosphate (c-AMP) phosphodiesterase, is discussed. The enzyme inhibition activity of these compounds are found to be dominantly controlled by hydrophobicity and steric factors. A significant quantitative correlation has been obtained between the inhibition activity and the van der Waals volume.
