Inhaltsangabe

The entire thrust of industrial drug research is now directed toward the use of predictive methods and strategies to reduce the number of compounds made and tested. Furthermore, these theoretical/computational methods are increasingly part of a general approach to chemical problems. Among non-empirical structure indices, the electrotopological state of atoms in a molecule is a new paradigm, providing a descriptor of intermolecular interactions at submolecular sights that is easy to calculate and information-rich. One of the authors (Hall) has included the E-state in his widely used MOLCONN computer program. Tripos has incorporated this index as an optional module for structure-activity analyses using a new Web-based tool called CHEMenlighten.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The Electrotopological State is a new approach to defining key structural features of a molecule in drug design. Combining both electronic and topological attributes, the E-state index facilitates the development of a structure-activity model, the definition of a pharmacophore, and the search through a database for similar or dissimilar compounds. The background for the method, the concept of the intrinsic state, and the E-state index as a function of the atom or group within the field of all atoms in a molecule are all described in this primer for a new structure paradigm. Software on the bundled CD-ROM allows the reader to compute and display the E-state indices for molecules, while examples in the book illustrate strategies that can be used in drug research.
