“…Rank order correlations were investigated between the biological variables for ATP antagonist activity (DR) and smooth muscle relaxant activity (MR) and a wide variety of physicochemical parameters. These were: lipophilicity, 7 (Martin, 1978) and f (Rekker, 1977); steric effects, Es (Martin, 1978) and Verloop constants (Verloop, Hoogenstraaten & Tipker, 1976); molar refractivity, (Martin, 1978); electronic effects, (Foster, Hooper, Spedding, Sweetman & Weetman, 1978). ap, am, a+, a- (Martin, 1978).…”
