activity is related <strong>to</strong> only one such property, a simple equation can be drawn up.<br />

However, the biological activity of most drugs is related <strong>to</strong> a combination of physicochemical<br />

properties. In such cases, simple equations involving only one parameter are<br />

relevant only if the other parameters are kept constant. In reality, this is not easy <strong>to</strong><br />

achieve and equations which relate biological activity <strong>to</strong> more than one parameter are<br />

more common. These equations are known as Hansch equations and they usually<br />

relate biological activity
