A series of 17β-(hydrazonomethyl)-5β-androstane-3β,14β-diol derivatives was synthesized and evaluated in the displacement of [3H]ouabain binding from Na+,K+-ATPase. The data were explored with multiple linear regression and partial least-squares to find possible quantitatives structure−activity relationships. Good correlations were found between binding to the receptor and van der Waals volumes or molar refractivities of the 17β-hydrazonomethyl substituents and pKa values of the compounds. Equivalent results were obtained using the proton affinity (calculated using MOPAC) of the hydrazone residues instead of experimental pKa. As basicity or related electronic factors of the substituents explain a significant portion of the observed changes in the activity, an ion-pair interaction between a carboxylate residue of the enzyme and the protonated 17β-hydrazonomethyl group, as postulated by Thomas, plays an important role in the interaction of the ligand to the Na+,K+-ATPase receptor. |
