title: QSAR study of antimycobacterial activity of quaternary ammonium salts of piperidinylethyl esters of alkoxysubstituted phenylcarbamic acids.
abstract: A series of 17 halogenides of quaternary ammonium salts of the alkylpiperidinylethyl esters of 2-pentoxy (and 2-heptoxy) substituted phenylcarbamic acids were evaluated for in vitro antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. kansasii, and M. avium. Correlation of this action with lipophilicity (log P, 1-octanol-water system) was used for the description of the structure-antimycobacterial activity relationships (QSARs). The activity increased with the increasing lipophilicity of the compounds.
