[Discriminant-analytic structure-effect relationship of qualitative biological data. Virostatic effect of isatin-beta-isothiosemicarbazones].

"Yes/No" results from the plaque-diffusion inhibition test concerning the virostatic activity of substituted isatin-beta-isothiosemicarbazones against mengo- and vaccinia-viruses can be described discriminant analytically by means of simple substituent constants. The discriminant analysis permits quantitative structure-activity analysis of qualitative and semi-quantitative test data, thus offering a chance for theoretical synthesis optimization already at the level of rough screening.
