QSAR of aromatic substances: MAO inhibitory activity of xanthone derivatives.
The flip regression procedure that we used earlier for handling the dibenzofuran system has been applied to xanthones. The MAO-A inhibitory activity expressed as IC50 of the xanthones is known to correlate with E-state, molecular connectivity, shape indices and in this contribution it is shown that the orientation of nodes in their occupied pi orbitals explain a further large portion of the variance in their inhibitory activity.
