Abstract
A polymer matrix system for transdermal delivery of atenolol was developed for its prolonged and controlled release using different ratios of ethylcellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. These polymeric matrix films were characterized for thickness, tensile strength, moisture content and drug content. They were also studied for in vitro drug release and in vitro drug skin permeation. The drug release from the films was found to be Fickian diffusion type and exhibiting linear relationship between drug release (Q) vs. square root of time (t0.5). The in vitro skin permeation of drug from transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) was evaluated using dermatomed pig skin. The product which shows in vitro drug skin permeation near to 64 mcg/h/ml was selected for in vivo studies. The in vivo studies revealed that Ma EC HPMC 46 is most effective among the other polymeric matrix TDDS. The AUC0-28 with Ma EC HPMC 46 was better than orally administered conventional doses at twelve hours interval (AUC0-28 1587 ng h/ml) as well as no trough and peaks in drug plasma level was recorded with TDDS. Hence, it could be concluded that the designed polymeric matrix TDDS of atenolol could be used successfully for effective and prolonged delivery of atenolol. However, it further demands exploration in clinic, an insight vision towards the development of TDDS for commercial use.

Abstract
A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study has been made on a series of piperidine sulfonamide aryl hydroxamic acid analogs acting as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors. The inhibitory potencies of the compounds against two MMPs, MMP-2 and MMP-13, are found to be significantly correlated with the hydrophobic properties of the molecules, suggesting that in both enzymes the hydrophobic interaction is playing a dominant role.

Abstract
A quantitative structure-activity relationship study has been made on some pyranyl hydroxamic acid analogs acting as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors. The inhibition potencies of two different series of compounds against two MMP enzymes (MMP-1 and MMP-13) have been analyzed and found to be well correlated with hydrophobic and some indicator parameters of the substituents. In both the cases, hydrophobic parameter of substituents has been found to be a dominant factor. The results of this study led to discuss the selectivity of the compounds for MMP-13 over MMP-1.

Abstract
A quantitative structure-activity relationship study has been conducted on two different series of acyclic hydroxamic acid analogs acting as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors. The results suggest that in a few cases, the hydrophobic property of the molecules is the major governing factor. However, in some cases, the polarizability of the molecules is shown to be dominant. The two enzymes, MMP-9 and MMP-13, are shown to behave in a similar fashion with any group of inhibitors.

Abstract
A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study is made on a series of aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides and their charged derivatives acting as carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitors. These compounds were studied by Scozzafava et al. (J. Med. Chem. 2000; 43: 292) for the selective inhibition of CAs--sulfonamides generally do not discriminate between different CA isozymes and hence exhibit many undesirable side effects when used as drugs against a particular disease. In this communication, an attempt has been made to investigate the physicochemical and structural properties that can make them selective for a given CA isozyme. Based on in vitro data reported by Scozzafava et al. against two cytosolic isozymes and one membrane-bound isozyme, the QSAR study has shown that uncharged compounds cannot be made selective for cytosolic or membrane-bound isozyme since in both the cases the compounds appear to follow the same mechanism of inhibition. However, for the charged compounds the polarizability of the molecule seems to greatly favor the inhibition of the membrane-bound enzyme, and hence they can be made selective for this enzyme by enhancing their polarizability, which is found to play no role in the inhibition of cytosolic enzymes.

Abstract
A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study has been made on four different series of anthranilic acid-based matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors, in which two substituted aryl rings, one bearing the hydroxamic acid moiety that binds with the zinc atom of MMPs, are joined through a bridge group of sulfonamide. The QSAR results indicate that the sulfonamide group plays a very important role in the inhibition activity of the inhibitors and that the effectiveness of this sulfonamide group can be increased by the presence at the aryl rings or at the sulfonamide nitrogen itself of nitrogen-containing or some such substituents that can increase the electronic character of the sulfonamide group. The hydrophobic character of the molecules is not found to be of any advantage; rather in most of the cases it is shown to have detrimental effect, suggesting that MMPs provide little opportunity to the inhibitors to have a any hydrophobic interactions with them. On the other hand, polarizability of the molecules has been found to be conducive to activity in some cases. Thus the inhibition mechanism seems to predominantly involve the electronic interactions between the inhibitors and the enzymes.

Abstract
Intraosseous neurilemmoma (schwannoma) is a rare bone tumor with incidence less than 0.2% of all primary bone tumors. It is a benign neoplasm arising from the schwann cells of the nerve sheath. When they occur, they are usually found in the mandible. This paper reports an unusual occurrence of intraosseous neurilemmoma in L2 vertebral body. This patient presented with complaints of backache and progressively increasing weakness in both lower limbs. Roetengenograms showed an osteolytic lesion of L2 vertebra localized in the left half of the body and pedicle. Computed tomograph revealed a large soft tissue component of the tumor mass with thecal sac compression. A computed tomograph assisted needle biopsy revealed the tumor to be neurilemmoma. Subsequently, during decompression, it was possible to shell out tumor from surrounding tissues. Remaining tumor was curettedfrom bone and the cavity packed with autograft. The recovery was uneventful with incorporation of graft. The aim of this article is to highlight intraosseous neurilemmoma as a possible differential diagnosis in bony tumors. Intraosseous neurilemmoma of lumbar vertebrae is an extremely rare occurrence and till date only four cases are reported in English literature.

Abstract
A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study has been made on a new series of digitalis-like Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitors in which the guanylhydrazone group has been replaced by an aminoalkyloxime group. The correlations obtained have shown that the oxime moiety, primary amine group, overall size, and polarizability of the new type of substituents are higly beneficial to the Na+,K+-ATPase inhibition potency of the compounds and that their effect can be quantitatively assessed. The study also showed that the inotropic activity of the compounds is very well correlated with their Na+,K+-ATPase inhibition potency.

Abstract
A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study has been made on four different series of dihydropyrimidine analogs that mimic the most widely studied class of calcium channel blockers (CCBs)-the 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP) class. The results show that almost all those characteristics that are essential for the activity of 1,4-DHPs are also essential for the activity of dihydropyrimidine analogs. The important characterstics indicated by the present study for dihydropyrimidine analogs are conformation of the molecule, the relative orientation of the aryl ring with respect to the pyrimidine ring, and some substituents capable of forming the hydrogen bonds with the receptor but less bulky in nature, and high molar refractivity of the molecule.

Abstract
A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study has been made on two different series of 1-[(4-(aminoalkoxy)phenyl)sulphonyl]indolizines acting as calcium entry blockers, using some physicochemical and structural parameters. Two different assays were reported for both the series: (IC(50))(A), referring to the molar concentration of the compound required to reduce [3H] nitrendipine binding by 50%, and (IC(50))(B), referring to that required to block Ca(2+) induced concentration of K(+) depolarised rat aorta by 50%. For series 1, where the 2-position substituents of indolizine ring were varied along with the aminoalkoxy moieties of the phenyl ring, the QSAR analysis shows that the 2-position substituents can equally affect both the activities through their hydrophobic and electronic properties and the aminoalkoxy moiety through some steric effects. For series 2, where the indolizine ring has been replaced by varying heterocyclic rings, along with the changes in aminoalkoxy moiety of the phenyl ring, the QSAR exhibits that these different heterocyclic rings affect both the activities through some steric roles, altering the conformations of the receptors from system A to system B. Among the different heterocyclic rings, the N-substituted indole ring is shown to be more conducive to both the activities than any other ring. However, a 5-membered ring is indicated to be less effective than a 9- or 10-membered ring for activity B. Additionally, the amino moieties having phenyl ring with methoxy groups at 3,4,and 5-positions are shown to favour both A and B activities.

Abstract
A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study has been made on eight different series of Clostridium histolyticum collegenase (ChC) inhibitors. These series are comprised of four different groups of sulfonylated amino acids and their corresponding hydroxamates. In each series, the inhibition potency of the compounds has been found to be significantly correlated with the electrotopological state (E-state) indices of nitrogen and sulfur atoms of the sulfonylated amino group in the molecules, showing the importance of the electronic characterstics of these atoms in controlling the inhibition potency of the compounds.

Abstract
A review is presented of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) of different categories of carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitors, which are basically benzenesulfonamides, heterocyclic sulfonamides and aliphatic sulfonamides. The review shows that in all categories, the inhibition potency depends largely on the electronic properties of the sulfonamide group, which can be affected by the electronic characteristics of the substituents present on the nucleus (benzene or heterocyclic ring) of the sulfonamide molecules. Substituents themselves can be involved, along with the nucleus, in some dispersion interaction with the enzyme. Based on this review, a schematic model is presented to represent the interaction of sulfonamides with the CA.

Abstract
A review is presented on quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) of renin inhibitors which have potential as antihypertensive and cardiovascular agents. They inhibit the renin, an enzyme that is involved in the rate-limiting first step of the renin angiotensin system (RAS). Most of the renin inhibitors are peptidomimetics but recently some nonpeptidomimetic renin inhibitors with low molecular weight have also been developed. In both types of renin inhibitors, the QSARs have exhibited that their inhibition activity would largely depend upon the molecular weight of the compounds, van der waals radius related parameters of the substituents, and the localized electronic effects, particularly of the side chain of the residues substituted in the peptides.

Abstract
A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study has been made on the inhibitions of some matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) by functionalized 4-aminoproline based hydroxamates. Attempts have been made to correlate the inhibition potencies of these hydroxamates with Kier's first-order valence molecular connectivity index ((1)chi(v)) of substituents and electrotopological state (E-state) indices of some atoms. The correlations obtained for the inhibitions of all the enzymes studied, i.e. MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, and MMP-13, were not so uniform, but suggested that in almost all the cases the substituents at the amide nitrogen may be conducive to the activity, though the whole amide group may be sterically unfavourable. Similarly, in most of the cases, the substituens at the phenyl moiety have been found to be beneficial to the inhibition potency and in many cases an electronic role of SO(2) group of the sulfonylphenyl moiety has been indicated.

Abstract
A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study is made on some hydroxamic acid-based inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and a bacterial collagenase, namely Clostridium histolyticum collagenase (ChC), that also belongs to an MMP family, M-31, using Kier's valence molecular connectivity index (1)chi(v) of the substituents and electrotopological state (E-state) indices of some atoms. The results indicate that out of the four MMPs (MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-8, and MMP-9) studied, MMP-2 and MMP-9 can be structurally quite similar, but widely differing from MMP-1 and MMP-8 and ChC. For MMP-2 and MMP-9, the inhibition activity of compounds is shown to depend on both (1)chi(v )and E-state indices, while for MMP-1 and MMP-8 it is shown to depend only on E-state indices and for ChC only on (1)chi(v). However, in all the cases, an aromatic group like C(6)F(5) or 3-CF(3)-C(6)H(4) attached to SO(2) moiety in the compounds is indicated to be equally beneficial, due to probably the involvement of fluorine atom(s) in charge-charge interactions with the Zn(2+) ion of the enzymes or in the formation of the hydrogen bonds with some sites of the receptors.

Abstract
A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study is made on the inhibition of a few isozymes of carbonic anhydrase (CA) and some matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), both zinc containing families of enzymes, by sulfonylated amino acid hydroxamates. For both enzymes, the inhibition potency of the hydroxamates is found to be well correlated with Kier's first-order valence molecular connectivity index 1chi(v) of the molecule and electrotopological state indices of some atoms. From the results, it is suggested that while hydroxamate-CA binding may involve mostly polar interactions, hydroxamate-MMP and hydroxamate-ChC (ChC: Clostridium histolyticum collagenase, another zinc enzyme related to MMPs) bindings may involve some hydrophobic interactions. Both MMPs and ChC also possess some electronic sites of exactly opposite nature to the corresponding sites in CAs. A group such as C6F5 present in the sulfonyl moiety is shown to be advantageous in both CA and MMP (also ChC) inhibitions, which is supposed to be due to the interaction of this group with Zn2+ ion present in the catalytic site of both families of enzymes.

Abstract
A review is presented of the recent advances in quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors. These inhibitors have been put into two classes: nucleoside RT inhibitors (NRTIs), which are 2',3'-dideoxynucleoside analogues (ddNs), and non-nucleoside RT inhibitors (NNRTIs). For NRTIs (ddNs), which act as competitive inhibitors or alternate substrates of RT and hence interact at the substrate binding site of the enzyme, QSARs have pointed out the major role of the electronic factors governing their activity. For NNRTIs, which bind to a site entirely distinct from the substrate binding site, the activity has been shown to be largely dependent upon the hydrophobic nature of the compounds or substituents. The hydrophobic nature of the active site in the receptor with which the NNRTIs interact provides relatively few possibilities for the molecules to have polar interactions or hydrogen bondings, but QSARs have indicated that NNRTIs do involve some polar interactions and hydrogen bondings with some pockets of the enzyme. QSARs also indicate the significant roles of steric interactions and conformational shape of the molecule.

Abstract
A review is presented on quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies on cholecystokinin antagonists. Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a gastrointestinal peptide hormone closely related chemically to gastrin. However, its receptors are found in both peripheral and central nervous systems. Those present in peripheral system have been termed as CCK-A receptors and those present in central nervous system as CCK-B receptors. QSAR studies verify that CCK-B receptors are closely related structurally to gastrin receptors. QSAR studies have been reported on different classes of CCK antagonists, e.g., benzodiazepine derivatives, amino acid derivatives, quinazolinones, and peptides and pseudopeptide analogs. These QSAR studies unravel the mechanisms of interactions of each category of antagonists with the CCK receptors. In the case of benzodiazepines, the hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bondings are found to be the most important binding force, while in the case of quinazolinones, only the hydrogen bonding is found to be important. The hydrophobic as well as the dispersion interactions are shown to be important for the binding of glutamic acid analogs and steric factors appear to govern the activity of peptides and pseudopeptide analogs.
