It was reviewed for the status of domestic research before and after 1990's for search of a new pesticides using 2D QSAR of quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) methodologies (Sung, Nack-Do (2002) Development of new agrochemicals by quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) methodology. Kor J. Pestic. Sci. 6, 166-174, 231-243 & 7, 1-11) which was proposed according to Hansch-Fujita equation based on the concept of biological Hammett equation.

In order to develop hydroquinone analogues for topical delivery, a structure-activity relationship study has been performed. A series of 2-substituted hydroquinones were tested for their ability to inhibit mushroom tyrosinase, alter melanin release and exert cytotoxicity in B6-F10 melanocytes. The electronic property of the 2-substituents did not affect the tyrosinase inhibition nor melanocyte toxicity. However, lipophilicity did affect to some degree the tyrosinase inhibition. The discrepancy in the structure-activity relationship may be due to the poor aqueous solubility of select analogues. Compounds with steric bulk at the 2-position seems to be less soluble, not enabling the analogue to interact effectively with the tyrosinase enzyme. Among the analogues tested, 2-isopropyl hydroquinone seems to be the most promising candidate for topical delivery, being the least toxic analogue with moderate melanin release inhibition.

Structure-activity relationship of 20 fluoroquinolones was studied using the susceptible and 4 resistant Escherichia coli which were developed against 4 fluoroquinolones [ciprofloxacin (1), KR-10755 (6), norfloxacin (2), and ofloxacin (3)] in our laboratory. The C-7 and C-8 substituents of fluoroquinolone were important in various functions such as the inhibitory activity on DNA gyrase, permeability, and efflux. Among 20 fluoroquinolones, compounds with a 3-methyl-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-1(5)-ene-7-yl substituent at the C-7 position or a chlorine substituent at the C-8 position showed a good inhibitory activity on DNA gyrase (especially a mutated DNA gyrase). Compounds with a 3,7-diazabicyclo [3.3.0]octan-1(5)-ene-7-yl substituent at the C-7 position showed good permeability in the susceptible and resistant strains, while compounds with a fluorine substituent at the C-8 position were less eff luxed from cells.

The significant antitumor activities of 3-arylisoquinolines promoted us to explore the structure-activity relationship of these compounds. A series of 3-Arylisoquinoline derivatives, which related to Benzo［c］ phenanthridine alkaloids. were evaluated for antitumor cytotoxicity against human lung tumor cell (A 549). We tried to study structure-activity relationship (SAR) of 3-Arylisoquinolines using the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) method. (omitted)

A series of 2-phenyl-5-nitrobenzimidazoles substituted at the para positon of the 2-phenyl moiety was synthesized ＆ evaluated for their activity to inhibit topoisomerase I. The structure-activity relationship study revealed that neither the electronic nor lipophilic parameters were related to the topoisomerase I inhibition. A strict spatial requirement seems to be present for retention of topoisomerase I inhibition activity.

Twelve thienyl/furanyl-hydroxyphenylpropenones were systematically designed and synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory effect on LPS-induced ROS and NO production in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Compound 11 displayed the most significant inhibitory activity of LPS-induced ROS and NO production in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Structure-activity relationship study indicated that para-hydroxyphenyl moiety plays an important role for inhibitory activities on both LPS-induced ROS and NO production as well as 3-thienyl moiety on molecule.

Twenty spirodiclofen analogues have been designed and conveniently synthesized via three steps including esterification, one-pot heterocyclization, and acylation reactions. The target molecules have been identified on the basis of analytical spectra ($^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR and ESI-MS) data. All newly synthesized compounds have been screened for their potential insecticidal and herbicidal activity by standard method. The preliminary assays indicated that some of analogues displayed moderate to good insecticidal activity against Plutella xylostella compared with spirodiclofen, and some compounds showed obvious activity against Brassica chinensis. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) is also discussed based on the experimental data.

The polarizability and the transition state energy of a cephalosporin are assumed to be theoretical indices of the permeability through the outer membrane and of reactivity of ${\beta}$ -lactam ring with penicillin binding proteins, respectively, in Gram-negative bacteria. They are computed by AM1 method and used as variables of quantitative structure-activity relationship study. The results justify quadratic dependence of the activity on the variables. The intersection of difference volumes between $\beta-lactamase$ stable cephalosporins and unstable ones manifests that the steric hindrance of 7-side chain is responsible for the ${\beta}$ -lactamase stability.

Mutagen X (MX) exists in our drinking water as the bi-products of chlorine disinfection. Being one of the most potent mutagen, it attracted much attention from many researchers. MX and its analogs are tested and modeled by quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) methods. As a result, factors affecting this class of compounds have been found to be steric and electrostatic effects. We tried to collect all the data available from the literature. The quantitative structure-activity relationship of a set of 29 MX was analyzed using Molecular Field Analysis (MFA) and Receptor Surface Analysis (RSA). The best models gave $q^{2}=0.918,\;r^{2}=0.949$ for MFA and $q^{2}=0.893,\;r^{2}=0.954$ for RSA. The models indicate that an electronegative group at C6 position of the furanone ring increases mutagenicity.

Acoording to improvement of HTOS (high throughput organic synthesis) and HTS (high throughput screening) technique, the CoMFA (comparative molecular field analysis), CoMSIA (comparative molecular similarity indeces analysis) and molecular HQSAR (hologram quantitative structure-activity relationship) analysis techniques as methodology of computer assisted molecular design (CAMD) were introduced generally and summarized for some application cases.
