Dear Netters,
for the analysis of fused ring systems with comp. chem. programs
like MOPAC we are using a program called SCA (Systematic Conformational
Analysis) which is a DOS program by DeClercq, Hollack and Cauwberghs
and distributed by QCPE (QCMP 079).
It is easy to use and produces reasonable starting geometries of a 
drawn input molecule to be used in the further analysis.
Although quite useful, it has its limitations as it can handle only
5-7 membered ring systems and has a tendency to produce 'runtime errors'
which is of course quite frustrating.
Therefore I would like to ask:

1. Is anyone aware of an improved version, for example for larger ring
   systems or less runtime errors (or hints why they occur on our PC)? or
2. is anyone aware of (easy to use) tools for the same purpose?

Please mail to me directly, in case of interest I will post a
summary to the group.

Thanks in advance!

Thorsten Loehl

Reply to Andy Sheppard's question about prediction of oral bioavailability.

I suggest you look at the following references:

Taylor, Lynch and Leahy "Models for intestinal permeability to drugs" in Drug 
Delivery to the Gastrointestinal Tract, pub. Ellis Horwood, 1989, page 147. - 
this is a discussion of model systems for drug absorption using rat jejunum and 
ileum as well as model solvent systems. Subsequent to this work, this group 
(Zeneca) has tried QSAR approaches for prediction of absorption with 
considerable success, although I don't think that is published in detail.

Hill et al, Headache (1994) 34: 308 "Oral delivery of 5HT1D receptor agonists" 
- this is a short account of the Wellcome group's use of physical property 
measurements (both experimental and calculated) to improve the bioavailability 
of a series of compounds.

Conradi et al, Pharm. Res. (1991) 8: 1453 "Influence of Peptide Structure on 
Transport Across CACO-2 Cells" - discusses CACO-2 cells as a model for drug 
absorption. Absorption seems to increase with removal of H-bond donors. Other 
authors have reported the same.

I consider the 3 refs above to be "highlights". Some other papers of potential 
interest are:

Hirono et al, Biol Pharm Bull (1994) 17:306 - QSAR approach
Amidon and Lee, Annu Rev Pharmacol Toxicol (1994) 34:321 - Review of peptide 
absorption
Paterson et al, QSAR (1994) 13:4 - Solvent system
Ranadive et al, Pharm Res (1994) 9:1480 - ACE inhibitors
Taylor et al, J Pharm Pharmacol (1985) 37:280 - Beta-blockers
Nook et al. J Pharmaceutics (1988) 43:119 - Relationship between partition 
coefficients and absorption kinetics

Hi netters!
Does anyone know the Zn2+ parameters, r* and E(epsilon) for AMBER forcefield?
I have those relative to Cu2+ which are respectively:
r* = 2,4 Angstroem
E(epsilon) = 0.05 Kcal/mol
I would like to have the reference too, if possible!
Thank you all very much for any suggestion.
