Substituent constants and regression analysis have been used to correlate the localization of substituted benzeneboronic acids in brain and tumor tissue of mice. It is shown that
localization in the brain can be rationalized in terms of one parameter,
, obtained
from octanol: water partition coefficients. Localization in the tumor depends on an additional electronic parameter,
. Localization in the boronic acid series is compared
with biologic activity in a series of barbituric acids.
