Abstract

The quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) of a set of 70 octopaminergic agonists and 20 antagonists against octopamine receptor class 3 (OAR3) in locust nervous tissue was analyzed by molecular field analysis (MFA). MFA of these compounds evaluated effectively the energy between a probe and a molecular model at a series of points defined by a rectangular grid. Contour surfaces for the molecular fields are presented. These results provide useful information in the characterization and differentiation of octopaminergic receptor types and subtypes.
