The relationships between three dimensional quantitative structure and activity relationships (3D-QSARs) for the selective fungicidal function between N-phenyl substituents of N-phenyl-O-phenyl-thionocarbamate derivatives analogues and their the fungicidal activities against resistant (RBC) and sensitive (SBC) gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) were studied quantitatively using CoMFA and CoMSIA methods. The statistical values of optimized CoMSIA (M7) model were better ($r^2$ & $q^2=CoMSIA{\gg}CoMFA$) than that of CoMFA (M5) model. And the factor influencing of the selective between the fungicidal activity against RBC and SBC was dependent on electrostatic field of CoMFA (M5) model. Therefore, it is predicted that, from the CoMSIA contour maps of CoMSIA (M7) model, the selectivity will be improved by the H-bond donor that is with negatively charged favored group at meta-position on the N-phenyl ring.

Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSARs) on the fungicidal activity against damping-off (Pythium ultimum) with N-phenylbenzenesulfonamide and N-phenyl-2-thienylsulfonamide analogues (1-34) were studied quantitatively using CoMFA (comparative molecular field analysis) and CoMSIA (comparative molecular similarity indeces analysis) methodologies. On the whole, the statistical qualities of CoMSIA models with field fit alignment (FF1-FF5) were slightly higher than that of atom based fit alignment (AF1-AF5) but, the deviations of statistical quality between two alignments in case of CoMFA models were slightly lower. The statistical results of CoMFA and CoMSIA model showed that the optimized CoMSIA model (FF1: $r_{cv.}^2\;(q^2)=0.674$ & $r_{ncv.}^2=0.964$) for damping-off is better predictability and fitness for fungicidal activities than CoMFA model (AF5: $r_{cv.}^2\;(q^2)=0.616$ & $r_{ncv.}^2=0.930$). The fungicidal activities according to the information of the CoMSIA (FF1) model were dependence upon the electrostatic and hydrophobic field of the N-phenylbenzene sulfonamide analogues. Therefore, from the results of graphical analyses on the contour maps with CoMSIA (FF3) model, it is expected that the characters of R4-substituent on the N-phenyl ring as hydrophobic and hydrogen bond acceptor will be contributed to the fungicidal activity against damping-off.

Three dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSARs) on the fungicidal activity of N-phenyl-O-phenylthionocarbamate analogues against resistant and sensitive gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) (RBC & SBC) were studied quantitatively using CoMFA and CoMSIA methods. The correlation coefficient and predict- ability of optimized CoMFA model with the atom based fit alignment were better ($r^2$ & $q^2=CoMFA{\gg}CoMSIA$) than that of CoMSIA model. And statistical values of the models on the fungicidal activity against SBC were showed higher ($r^2=SBC{\gg}RBC$) than that of RBC. In CoMFA models, steric field on the activity was more influenced than electrostatic field. And in case of CoMSIA models, the influence of CoMSIA field on the activity against RBC and SBC was differ from each other but the influence of H-bond donor field was same to the two fungi. It is revealed that the selectivity factor with CoMFA model on the fungicidal activity between the two fungi was caused on the difference of steric field. Therefore, it is predicted that the large steric field with meta- and para-substituents on the N-phenyl ring will be improved to the fungicidal activity with SBC.

Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSARs) for the herbicidal activities against pre-emergence barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) by new 2-(4-(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyloxy)phenoxy)-N-phenylpropion amide derivatives were studied quantitatively using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) methodologies. The best CoMFA model (AI-2) and CoMSIA model (AII-4) were derived from an atom based fit alignment and a combination of CoMFA fields. The herbicidal activities from CoMFA and CoMSIA contour maps showed that the activity will be able to be increased according to the substituents variation on the N-phenyl ring.

CoMFA and CoMSIA model were derived and reviewed on the insecticidal activities of N-substituents (X) on the imidazol ring in imidacloprid analogues at the different alignment condition. Regarding the predictability ($q^2$ or $r_{cv.}^2$) and fitness ($r_{ncv.}^2$) of the two optimized models, the atom based fit (A) alignments were better than that of the field fit (F) alignment and, on the other hand, CoMSIA (A10) model was better than CoMFA (A5) model. Also, from the most optimized CoMSIA (A10) model, the insecticidal activity by N-substituents (X) was dependence on the electrostatic field and H-bond acceptor field. It is predicted that, from the contour maps with optimized CoMSIA (A10) model, H-bond acceptors at ortho- and meta- position will contribute for improving of insecticidal activities and, as the functional groups of carbonyl oxygen atom are charged negatively and positively charged at the ortho- position of benzyl group, insecticidal activities will also be improved.

The influences on antioxidant activities of the substituents ($R_1-R_4$) on benzo ring in 4-Methyl-2H-benzopyran-2-one analogues (1-23) were discussed quantitatively using three dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSARs: Comparative molecular field analyses (CoMFA) and Comparative molecular similarity indice analyses (CoMSIA)) methods. The statistical qualities of CoMSIA models were better than those of CoMFA models and the CoMSIA 2 model was optimized model ($q^2$=0.700 & $r^2$=0.979). Also, the contribution ratios (%) of the optimized CoMSIA 2 model were H-bond donor field 43.5%, electrostatic field 41.8% and steric field 14.7% so that the antioxidant activity exhibited a strong correlation with H-bond donor and electrostatic factor of molecules. From the analytical results of the CoMSIA contour maps, if the positive charge favor group and H-bond donor disfavor group were placed in the $R_1-R_4$ positions on the benzo ring, it was predicted that the groups would raised the antioxidant activity.

To understand the inhibitory activity with changing hydroxyl substituents ($R_l-R_9$) of polyhydroxy substituted 2-phenyl-l,4-benzopyrone analogues (1-25) against tyrosinase (PDB ID: oxy-form; 1WX2), molecular docking and the three dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSARs: Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) & Comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA)) were studied quantitatively. The statistically best models were CoMFA 1 and CoMSIA 1 model from the results. The optimized CoMSIA 1 model with the sensitivity of the perturbation and the prediction produced ($dq^2'/dr_{yy'}^2$=1.009 & $q^2$=0.51l) by a progressive scrambling analysis were not dependent on chance correlation. The inhibitory activities with optimized CoMSIA 1 model were dependent upon electrostatic factor (51.4%) of substrate molecules. Contour mapping the 3D-QSAR models to the active site of tyrosinase provides new insight into the interaction between tyrosinase as receptor and 2-phenyl-l,4-benzopyrone analogues as inhibitor. Therefore, the results will he able to apply to the optimization of a new potent tyrosinase inhibitors.

3D-QSARs on the fungicidal activity with N-phenylbenzenesulfonamide and N-phenyl-2-thienylsul-fonamide analogues (1-34) against Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum) were discussed quantitatively using CoMFA (comparative molecular field analysis) and CoMSIA (comparative molecular similarity indices analysis) methods, respectively. Generally, the CoMFA models have better predictability and fitness than the CoMSIA models. The fungicidal activities, according to the information of the optimized CoMF A 2 model $(r^2\;_{cv.}=0.523\;&\;r^2\;_{ncv.}=0.956)$, were dependent on the electrostatic field of the N-phenylbenzenesulfonamide analogues. Therefore, from the results of graphical analyses on the contour maps with the optimized CoMFA 2 model, it is expected that the characters of $R_4-substituents$ on the N-phenyl ring as steric and positive charge favor will contribute to the fungicidal activity against Fusarium wilt.

3D-QSARs on the fungicidal activity of N-phenylbenzenesulfonamide and N-phenyl-2-thienylsulfonamide analogues (1-37) against Phytophthora blight (Phytophthora capsici) were studied quantitatively using CoMFA and CoMSIA methods. The statistical results of the optimized CoMFA (2) model ($r^2_{cv.}(q^2)$ = 0.692 & $r^2_{ncv.}$= 0.965) show better predictability and fitness than CoMSIA (2) model ($r^2_{cv.}(q^2)$ = 0.796 & $r^2_{ncv.}$= 0.958). The fungicidal activities according to the information of the optimized CoMFA (2) model were dependent upon the steric and electrostatic fields of the molecules. Therefore, from the contribution contour maps of CoMFA (2) model, it is expected that 63% contribution was caused by the steric bulk of meta-substituent ($R_1$) on the S-phenyl ring. Also, the other contribution level of 32.9% was represented by the positive charged $R_4-group$ ($R_1$) on the N-phenyl ring and para-substituent ($R_1$) on the S-phenyl ring. A series of higher active compounds, $R_1$= 3-decyl substituent ($pred.pI_50$= 5.88) etc. were predicted based on the findings.

To understand the influences of the substituents ($R_1{\sim}R_4$) on insecticidal activity of N'-phenyl-N-methylformamidine analogues (1~22) against two spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae), comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) model and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) model as three dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSARs) model were derived and discussed quantitatively. From the results, the correlativity and predictability ($r^2{_{cv.}}=0.575$ and $r^2{_{ncv.}}=0.945$) of the CoMFA 1 model were higher than those of the rest models. The the CoMFA 1 and CoMSIA 1 model with the sensitivity of the perturbation and the prediction produced ($d_q{^{2'}}/dr^2{_{yy}}=1.071{\sim}1.146$ & $q^2=0.545{\sim}0.626$) by a progressive scrambling analysis were not dependent on chance correlation. The insecticidal activities from the optimized CoMFA 1 model were depend upon the steric field (62.5%), electrostatic field (28.9%), and hydrophobic field (8.6%) of N'-phenyl-N-methylformamidine analogues. Therefore, the inhibitory activities with optimized CoMFA 1 model were dependent upon steric factor. From the contour maps of the optimized models, it is predicted that the structural distinctions that contribute to the insecticidal activity will be able to applied new potent insecticides design.
