LUMO energies and hydrophobicity as determinants of mutagenicity by nitroaromatic compounds in Salmonella typhimurium

R L Lopez de Compadre et al. Environ Mol Mutagen. 1990.

Abstract

Quantitative structure-activity relationships have been derived for the mutagenic activity of 47 nitroaromatic compounds acting on Salmonella typhimurium (TA100) and 66 acting on TA98. The mutagenicity is linearly dependent on the energy of the lowest occupied molecular orbital and bilinearly dependent on the hydrophobicity (octanol/water log P) of the mutagens. The mechanism of action is considered in the light of these findings.
