title: Electron-conformational study for the structure-hallucinogenic activity relationships of phenylalkylamines.
abstract: The structure-hallucinogenic activity relationships of a series of phenylethylamine and phenylisopropylamine derivatives have been investigated in the frameworks of electron-conformational method. The calculated geometry and electronic structure parameters accompanying to each atom and bond of each molecule in view were arranged as a matrix called electron-conformational matrix of contiguity (ECMC). The features that are responsible for strong and weak activity demonstrations have been found as submatrices of ECMCs belonging to some template compounds. Two electron-conformational features present in nonhallucinogenic compounds have been revealed. A quantitative model has been improved for predicting hallucinogenic activity numerically. A test series was used to verify the results obtained.
