Detailed electrostatics decode SAR

Has an effect here – more negative
Also has an effect here – more positive, dipole across ring from electronegative Fluorine
Difference plot: regions where each molecule has stronger electrostatics
And here – Ar face more negative, F is electron withdrawing

3D Quantitative and qualitative: 3D-QSAR and Activity Atlas
14
Agree on importance of phenyl group
Activity Atlas gives more detail about ideal halogenation pattern (large activity cliffs!)
QSAR gets more detail about undesired sterics
QSAR gets more information about substitution here (no big activity cliffs here)
Activity Atlas gives more definition of phenyl electrostatics

agonist> The two S-OH enantiomers of Fenoterol indicate antagonist action and the neutral
antagonists have split effects although Alprenolol has both in the 'antagonist region

Virtual screening hit analysis
> Screening hits 154, 234 and 119 were analysed for 3D alignment with the cpd 21 binding model
> Key features present in cpd 21 are missing in 154 but primarily low activity likely due to an inferior S1 binding fragment
> 119 is devoid of the sulphonamide portion but has a basic tail reminiscent of the template –suggesting possible fusion of 154 and 119 features
