TLDR
Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis showed that, besides the essential pharmacophore (-NHCONHOH), hydrophobicity, molecular size/polarizability, and the presence of an oxygen-containing group at the ortho position (I) were important determinants for the antitumor activities.Abstract:
Thirty Schiff bases of hydroxysemicarbazide (Ar−CHNNHCONHOH) have been synthesized and tested against L1210 murine leukemia cells. The IC50 values were found to be in a range from 2.7 × 10-6 to 9.4 × 10-4 M. A total of 17 out of the 30 compounds had higher inhibitory activities than hydroxyurea (an anticancer drug currently used for the treatment of melanoma, leukemia, and ovarian cancer) against L1210 cells. Six compounds with IC50 values in micromolar range were 11- to 30-fold more potent than hydroxyurea (IC50 = 8.2 × 10-5 M). The partition coefficient (log P) and ionization constants (pKa) of a model compound [1-(3-trifluoromethylbenzylidene)-4-hydroxysemicarbazide, 1] were measured by the shake-flask method, and the measured log P was used to derive Hansch−Fujita π constant of −CHNNHCONHOH. On the basis of the newly derived π and those of other moieties, the partition coefficients (SlogP) of the other 29 compounds were calculated by the summation of π values.

The Measurement of Partition Coefficients
John C. Dearden,G. M. Bresnen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the factors that can affect the measurement of partition coefficient, and made recommendations as to good practice, and recommended that partitioning be carried out at constant temperature using either a stirred flask technique or the filter probe.
