title: Structure-reactivity relationships for electrophilic sugars in interaction with nucleophilic biological targets.
abstract: The global electrophilicity index that incorporates electrostatic and polarizability contributions shows a quantitative correlation with antiviral and cytotoxic activities of electrophilic sugars. The model is applied to a series of compounds that behave as Michael acceptors in interaction with biological nucleophilic targets.
