A quantitative structure-activity relationship study of antifungal analogues of 3,4-substituted 5-((1H-1, 2, 4-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole

摘要

A series of 5-((1H-1, 2, 4-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their antifungal activities. Quantitative structure–activity relationship studies were performed on these compounds using physicochemical parameters as independent parameters and antifungal activity as a dependent parameter, where antifungal activity correlated best (correlation coefficient r > 0.8) with physicochemical parameters (Hammett’s constants σ p , F) and van der Waals volume V 1. Results are interpreted on the basis of multiple regression and cross-validation methodology. Furthermore, the domain of applicability which indicates the area of reliable predictions is defined.
