title: Relationships between the structure, cytotoxicity and hydrophobicity of quinazoline derivatives by quantitative structure-activity relationship.
abstract: Cytotoxicities of 93 quinazoline derivatives against HeLa cells have been determined as the isoeffective concentrations inhibiting, after a single dose, the protein synthesis to 50% of the control amount after 48 h incubation. The dependence of cytotoxicity on hydrophobicity of the studied derivatives has been described using a previously published model-based approach. The studied derivatives are classified into nine classes each forming a smooth hydrophobicity-cytotoxicity curve. Owing to the acceptable agreement between the model and the data it can be inferred that: (1) the compounds except two derivatives bind to the receptors with approximately the same affinity; (2) the criterion for the classification is the different rate of metabolism. The results represent a basis for a rational development of more potent quinazoline derivatives.
