A series of new quinclorac family, herbicidal 3-phenyl-5-(3,7-dichloro-8-quinolinyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives as substrate were synthesized and their growth inhibition activity $(pI_{50})$ against root and shoot of rice plant (Oryza sativa L.) and barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) were determined. And then comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and molecular holographic quantitative structure- activity relationship (HQSAR) were compared in terms of their potential for predictiability. The statistical results were suggested that HQSAR based model had better predictability than CoMFA model. The selective factors to remove barnyard grass take electron withdrawing groups which can be created positive charge and steric bulky on the phenyl ring. Results revealed that the unknown 2,6-dichloro-substituent, U5 and 2,4,6-trichloro-substituent, U6(${\Delta}pI_{50}$=CoMFA: 1.18 & HQSAR: 1.82) were predicted as compound with higher activity and selectivity.

We discuss that the growth inhibition activities against root and shoot of rice plant (Oryza sativa L.) and barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) by N-phenyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimide (A) and N-phenyl-3,4-dimethylmaleimide (B) derivatives with changing substituents can be explained and predicted using comparative molecular field analyses (CoMPA) method. And the results show that the cross-validation value, $q^2$ at three components and Pearson correlation coefficient, $r^2$ were rice plant: shoot; $r^2=0.987$, $q^2=0.387$ & root; $r^2=0.923$, $q^2=0.307$ and barnyard grass: shoot; $r^2=0.902$, $q^2=0.535$ & root; $r^2=0.900$, $q^2=0.450$, respectively. In addition, The activities of unknown compounds were predicted by CoMFA method. From the contour map of (A) derivatives, the selective factors to remove barnyard grass takes positive charge on the benzylic carbon atom (C27), negative charged carbon atom (C29) of meta position and steric bulky groups on the cyclic imino ring (C7-C8).

Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSARs) models between the substituents with changing groups ($R_1$ & $R_2$) of 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (4-HBA) derivatives as substrate molecule and their inhibitory activities against tyrosinase were derived and discussed quantitatively. The optimized CoMSIA FF model showed the best predictability and fitness ($r^2$ = 0.858 & $q^2$ = 0.951). The contour maps of the optimized CoMSIA FF model showed that, the inhibitory activities of the analogues against tyrosinase were expected to increase when hydrophobic (Hy) favor, negative charge (E) favor, steric (S) disfavor and hydrogen bond donor (HD) disfavor groups were substituted at the $R_2$ position. When the hydrogen bond donor (HD) favor groups were substituted at the $R_1$ position, it is predicted that the substituents will be able to increase the inhibitory activity.

Mycelial growth inhibition activity of forty-one N-substituted phenyl 5-chloro-1,3-dimethylpyrazole-4-carboxamides against Rhizoctonia solani was analysed quantitatively by multiple regression analysis using physicochemical parameters of substituents as independent variables and $pEC_{50}$ as dependent variable. As a result, a quantitative structure-activity relationship was formulated using eight physicochemical parameters, which explains 83% of variance of the fungicidal activity. The most important parameter for the biological activity was log k', as related to the penetration and transport processes in the biological system. The activity also correlated with other hydrophobic parameters$({\pi}_2,\;{\pi}_3)$, an electronic parameter$({\Sigma}{\sigma})$, and steric parameters$(STERIMOL\;parameters\;L_3,\;L_4)$.

The specificity of the N- and C-terminal antigenic determinant($P_{17}$: sequence $Lys^1-{cys-}^6-Asn^{27},\;{Trp^{12}}_2-Cys^{127}-Leu^{129}$) of hen egg-white lysozyme(HL) was studied in more detail. In a Scatchard plot of the binding of $^{14}C$-acetyl HL with guinea pig purified anti-$P_{17}$ antibody experimental values bent sharply aear r=1. This suggests of two antibody populations with different affinities for HL or possible steric hindrance in the binding of a second HL molecule to the second binding site of the antibody molecule. The antigenic activities of various peptides were tested by measuring their inhibition of the binding of $^{14}C-acetyl-P_{17}$ with the antibody, Only $P_{17}$ and $P_{17}t$(sequence $Lys^1-cys^6-Homoser^{12},\;Trp^{123}-Cys^{127}-Leu^{128})$) were inhibitory, with $K_1$ values of $2.0{\times}10^4$ and $8.1{\times}10^3$, respectively. These results indicate that the direct binding site of $P_{17}$ to anti-$P_{17}$ antibody may be located in the terminal portion of $P_{17}$ (sequence $Lys^1-Cys^6-Homoser^{12},\;Trp^{123}-Cys^{127}-Leu^{129})$) while the rest of $P_{17}$ may be important in maintaining the conformation of this determinant. The single disulphide bond involved in this determinant is essential for manifestation of immunological activity.

To search for a molecular design of a new breast cancerous inhibitory active compound, 2D-QSAR and HQSAR between the substituents of flavopiridol analogues as substrates and their breast cancerous inhibitory activities against MCF-7 cell were analyzed and discussed quantitatively. It was found that the dispersion with molecule and steric hindrance with substituents will have a tremendous impact on the inhibitory activities from the 2D-QSAR model (1). Also, MR constant is better than that of MS constant as animportant factor. The inhibitory activities from 2D-QSAR model (2) were dependent upon the optimum MR constant (MR = 126 $Cm^3/mol$). Optimized HQSAR model (V) exhibited the best predictability of the inhibitory activities based on the cross-validated $r^2_{cv}$($q^2$= 0.583) and non-cross-validated conventional coefficient ($r^2_{ncv}$= 0.982). From the contribution maps, the inhibitory activity by the imino group on $C_9$ atom was higher than that of the hydroxyl group of $C_8$ atom on the A ring in molecule. Therefore, we can confirm that the dispersion by substituents in molecule is the most important factor in inhibitory activities against MCF-7 cell.

3D-QSAR on the inhibitory activities of 6-bromobenzo-[4,5]imidazo[$1,2{\alpha}$]-pyridin-8,9-diones analogues as substrate molecule were studied quantitatively using CoMFA and CoMSIA methods. The statistical values of CoMFA model was better predictability and fitness than CoMSIA model. The inhibitory activities according to the optimized CoMFA 2 model were dependent on the steric field (90.4%). From the CoMFA contour maps, it is found that the branched side chain as R-group will be directly attached to the carbon atom (ipso carbon) of substituent, the inhibitory activities had expected to increase. The positive charge favor groups were placed in the position between imidazol ring and pyridine ring, the inhibitory activities would increase. And if the groups of liner type will be substituted, hydrophilic favor group would raise inhibitory activities.

The 3-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSARs) models between the substituents with changing groups ($R_1$ & $R_2$) of 4-($R_1$)-benzyl alcohol and 4-($R_2$)-phenol derivatives as substrate molecule and their inhibitory activities against tyrosinase were derived and discussed quantitatively. The optimized CoMSIA 2 model have best predictability and fitness ($r^2\;=\;0.858$ & $q^2\;=\;0.951$). The contour maps of optimized CoMSIA 2 model showed that, the inhibitory activities of the analogues against tyrosinase were expected to increase when hydrophobic favor, negative charge favor, steric disfavor and hydrogen bond donor disfavor groups were substituted at the $R^2$ position. When the positive charge and the hydrogen bond donor favor groups were substituted at the $R_1$ position, it is predicted that the substituents will be able to increase the inhibitory activity. However, hydrogen bond acceptor did not affect inhibitory activities of tyrosinase.
