Abstract:
An SAR model for inhibition of metabolic cooperation (iMC) was developed. The structural and physicochemical features associated with the ability to cause iMC are primarily lipophilic moieties consistent with the possibility that they represent receptor-binding ligands. There are also significant parallels between the structural descriptors associated with iMC and those associated with tumor promotion and with carcinogenesis in rodents. Overall, the present study provides structural evidence that iMC is a feature associated with the carcinogenic process.
