Simultaneous structural information was obtained for these compounds through theoretical ab initio methods. This study was conducted for the following esters: methyl caffeate (MC, 1), propyl caffeate (PC, 2), octyl caffeate (OC, 3), methyl gallate (MG, 4), propyl gallate (PG, 5) and octyl gallate (OG, 6). A significant growth-inhibition effect was assessed for some of these compounds, clearly dependent on their structural characteristics. Marked structure-activity relationships (SARs)--namely the number of hydroxyl ring substituents--were found to rule the biological effect of such systems. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/45150 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.bmc.2004.04.026 10.1016/j.bmc.2004.04.026 |
