A series of 6- and 7-substituted-2-arylpyrazolo [4,3-c] quinolin-3-ones was synthesized and tested in vitro for binding with the benzodiazepine receptor in competition with [3H]flunitrazepam. Electronic parameters (molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), charge distribution on the nitrogen atoms, dipole moment μ, and ionization potential (IP) were calculated for the compounds by semi-empirical quantum chemistry methods. Lipophilicity of the compounds, expressed as logarithm of the octanol-water partition coefficient (log P), was calculated by the program Pallas. A quantitative correlation of the biological data with molecular parameters revealed a significant dependence (r = 0.95) of the activity on hydrophobic constants of the substituents, log P, and magnitude of the MEP minimum associated with the carbonyl oxygen atom.
