Location of the significant points around 2,3,7,8-TCDD. 854) [42]. Our recent results, not yet published, show that the four descriptors do not correlate with the affinities of the whole PCDD series. A PCA analysis has enabled us to differentiate two subsets of isomers on the basis of the values for the four proposed descriptors. All the isomers belonging to the first set (Set 1) are characterized by a typical electronic polarization along the principal molecular axis toward both lateral sides.
Pitea et al. points localized on the Potential Energy Surface (PES) were characterized as minima or saddle points by a second derivative analysis. Finally, in the subsequent analysis consideration was given to all the minimum energy conformations within a predefined energy threshold, with respect to the global minimum (usually 6 - 8 kcal mol-I). Choice and Optimization of Conformational Descriptors The pharmacophore model is defined by N atoms selected to represent the spatial distribution of the groups thought to be relevant for activity.

Fig. 4 shows the superimposed conformations of compounds 5 and 6 present in the two clusters A and B with respect to compound 8. The study of amnesia-reversal compounds provides an illustrative example of applying certain aspects of the method relating to the search for the geometric pharmacophore: in this class of compounds, a geometric model appears to suffice in rationalizing the observed activities.
