[Theoretical aspects of the quantitative study of the chemical structure-biological action relationship]

The study of the interrelationship between the chemical structure of the drug molecule and their biologic activity is one of the most modern aspects of current pharmacology and pharmacochemistry. The information, obtained by these studies, contributes for more precise and detailed understanding of the mechanisms of drug molecule interaction with some biologic structures, and this helps to clarify a series of biologic and physiological phenomena. The authors describe in this paper some methods, which are used, when the dependences between structure and action are search for as well as the basic physiocochemical and quantum -- chemical values, which determine the pharmacological effect of drugs.
