Structure-activity relationship in synthetic fibrinolytics. 2-Phenethynylcyclopropanecarboxylates.

The fibrinolytic activity of nine 2-phenethynylcyclopropanecarboxylates was measured in the hanging clot test. The structure-activity relationship is given by log 1/C equals 0.54 log P + 2.01 where P is the octanol-water partition coefficient of the carboxylate ion pair and C is the molar concentration of the drug. The equation obtained for the cyclopropanecarboxylates is compared with similar equations for benzoates, salicylates, and N-phenylanthranilates.
