The correlation among the inhibitory potencies for rat liver ATP:L-methionine S-adenosyltransferase of a series of 11 substituted O-phenyl-DL-homoserines and various Hammett
and
Hansch
coefficients has been examined. Regression analyses by the method of least squares
gave the best correlation by the use of a linear combination of ordinary
values and
values
for phenoxyacetic acid derivatives. The analysis gave the linear free energy relationship
pI50 = 0.619
+ 0.614
+ 1.62 for n = 11. The correlation coefficient of r = 0.989 inidicated
that an almost complete correspondence of structural properties with potency was achieved
