RELATIONSHIPS AND
BASIC CONCEPTS IN
9
DRUG DESIGN
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After completing this chapter, students will be able to
• Explain the meaning of the term structure activity relationships and provide examples of
this concept.
• Compare the structures of two or more similar drug molecules and explain how the
differences in their functional groups and/or structures could affect their pharmacological,
physicochemical, or therapeutic activity (i.e., predict/understand structure activity
relationships).
• Explain, in general, the potential advantages of developing analogs of an existing drug
molecule.
• Provide specific advantages of each of the molecular modification concepts discussed.
• Apply the concepts discussed in this chapter to perform rational drug design to create
analogs of a given drug molecule.
The structure of a drug molecule is defined by the relative locations/placements and stereochemical orientations of its functional groups. Each of the previous chapters has focused on selected
characteristics of functional groups and has included a variety of examples of how each of these
characteristics is important for the overall physiochemical, pharmacological, and therapeutic activity of a drug molecule.
This chapter is designed to be a capstone chapter with two primary objectives. The first objective is to define and provide examples of structure activity relationships (SARs). Many of the examples provided in previous chapters are revisited here with an emphasis on their role in establishing
SARs for specific drug classes. Additional examples are also introduced. The second objective is to
provide a brief overview of some of the common strategies that are used in rational drug design.
In the design of new drug molecules, the primary emphasis is placed on common simple molecular
modifications/replacements of existing functional groups. The advantages that each of these types
of modifications can provide are also discussed.

STRUCTURE ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS
Overview: What Is Meant by the Term
Structure Activity Relationship
A structure activity relationship (SAR) is a common term used when discussing the medicinal chemistry of a drug molecule. Throughout previous chapters, we examined the overall structure of an
individual drug molecule in terms of its component functional groups and the various properties
that they possess, which can represent key elements of SARs. In Chapter 2, we learned that each
atom within a drug molecule is part of a specific functional group and that some of these functional
groups are more important than others. Each functional group has specific electronic, solubility,
and steric properties that have an effect on the overall pharmacological and therapeutic actions. In
Chapter 3, we reviewed acidic and basic functional groups and the importance of knowing the acid/
base character of a drug molecule. This knowledge helped us to examine the proper application of
the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to solve pH/pKa problems in Chapter 4. In that chapter, the
primary goal was to determine if one or more functional groups found within a drug molecule are
either predominantly ionized or unionized in a given physiologic environment. From an application
standpoint, we learned that functional group ionization affects solubility, duration of action, the
ability of a drug molecule to interact with its biological target, and the potential to cause or limit
a specific drug interaction. Chapter 5 further explored water and lipid solubility. We examined the
advantages of water- and lipid-soluble salts, the need for an overall balance between water and lipid
solubility within the structure of a drug molecule, strategies for optimizing solubility to meet a therapeutic need, and the benefits of both water and lipid solubility. In Chapter 6, we explored the types
of covalent and noncovalent bonds that can form between the functional groups present on a drug
molecule and those present on its biological target(s). In Chapter 7, we considered the stereochemical orientation of functional groups, looked at both configurational and conformational isomers, and
identified specific examples of how these isomers can affect drug activity. Finally, in Chapter 8 we
reviewed the metabolic transformations that alter specific functional groups to enhance drug elimination, alter the drug’s pharmacological activity, or ensure that toxic metabolites are neutralized.
In each of the previous chapters, some of the examples helped to define a concept (i.e., these
are water-soluble salts, this is an acidic functional group) whereas others explored how the differences in specific functional groups can affect the overall pharmacological and therapeutic actions of
the respective drug molecules. These latter examples fall into the realm of SARs.
An SAR literally refers to the relationship between the chemical structure of a drug molecule
and its physicochemical, pharmacological, and therapeutic activities. The term structure refers to
both the functional groups present within a drug molecule and their stereochemical orientation
while the term activity is related to the type of pharmacological activity (i.e., agonist or antagonist,
enzyme inhibitor), the ability to be absorbed from the site of administration, the ability to interact
with a specific biological target and produce a specific pharmacological action, the ability or probability to be metabolized via a specific transformation, the duration of activity, and/or the ability to
cause a specific drug interaction or adverse effect.
The “Why” or “How” Component of an SAR Statement
A key concept to learn and remember is that each SAR statement must include a “why” or “how” component. Simply stating that “functional group X enhances activity” is of very limited value unless this
is followed with a discussion of why or how functional group X enhances the activity. Without the
“why” or “how” component, each SAR statement becomes a matter of simple memorization rather
than an application of a chemical concept. As an example, let us revisit the sulfonamide class of

antibiotics originally discussed in Chapter 4. The structures of sulfanilamide and sulfamethoxazole
are shown below.
Both of these drugs mimic para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and inhibit the bacterial synthesis
of folic acid. When these two drugs are compared, it is found that sulfamethoxazole binds tighter
to the target enzyme than does sulfanilamide and is less likely to precipitate in the urine and cause
crystalluria. In looking at the two drugs, it is visually apparent that the structure of sulfamethoxazole contains an additional oxazole ring whereas sulfanilamide has an unsubstituted sulfonamide. The remaining question then becomes either “Why does this oxazole ring provide these two
beneficial effects?” or “How does this structural difference relate to the differences seen in the
above activities?” As mentioned in Chapter 4, the oxazole ring is electron-withdrawing in character.
This electron-withdrawing nature enhances the ionization and water solubility of the sulfonamide
functional group and prevents the drug from precipitating in the urine. Additionally, the enhanced
ionization allows sulfamethoxazole to better mimic PABA, hence enhancing its ability to interact
with the target enzyme. Using all of this information, we can construct two SAR statements for the
sulfonamide class of drugs.
1. Electron-withdrawing functional groups enhance the ionization of the sulfonamide functional group and therefore increase its ability to mimic PABA and inhibit the bacterial biosynthesis of folic acid.
2. Electron-withdrawing functional groups enhance the ionization of the sulfonamide functional group, increase the water solubility of the drug molecule, and decrease the chance of
precipitation in the urine.
Both of these SAR statements explain what structural feature is responsible for the beneficial
effect and offer an explanation as to why this structural feature is responsible for the beneficial
effect. Because of the structural generalities found within these statements, they are applicable to
the entire class of sulfonamide antibacterial agents and not just sulfanilamide and sulfamethoxazole. In contrast, if one were to simply identify that these beneficial effects were due to the presence
of an oxazole ring, this specific structural information does not allow for the ability to predict the
activity associated with other ring systems or functional groups.
Examples of Structure Activity Relationships
The examples used in this chapter are organized into four main sections. The purpose of these examples is solely to demonstrate specific SARs that exist within drug classes. None of the examples
presented represent a complete list of all of the SARs for a specific drug class. This information
is readily available in the references cited in Chapter 1. As you review each example, please note
that the changes in the component functional groups and/or their stereochemical orientations are
responsible for the differences in activity. In other words, the structure dictates the activity.
Structure Activity Relationships and Pharmacological Activity
The mechanism of action of a drug molecule almost always requires specific structural features for
it to interact with its biological target. Drug molecules that meet most or all of these structural
requirements are generally more active than those that do not. Many classes of drugs have SARs
that define both the minimum structural requirements for activity as well as additional structural
