Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A synthetic-computational approach to the study of the binding site of peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) ligands related to 1-(2- chlorophenyl)-N-methyl-N-(1-methylpropyl)-3-isoquinolinecarboxamide (PK11195, 1) within their receptor has been developed. A wide series of conformationally restrained derivatives of 1 has been designed with the aim of probing the PBR binding site systematically. The synthesis of these compounds involves palladium-catalyzed coupling and amidation as the key steps. Twenty-nine rigid and semirigid derivatives of 1 were tested in binding studies using [H]-1, and most of these showed PBR affinities in the nanomolar range. The essential role of the carbonyl moiety as a primary pharmacophoric element in the recognition by and the binding to PBR has been confirmed, and the restricted range of the carbonyl orientations, which characterizes the moss potent ligands, points to a specific hydrogen-bonding interaction, mainly directed by the geometrical factors, when the electronic ones are fulfilled. Moreover, the fundamental importance of the short-range dispersive interactions in the modulation of the binding affinity and, hence, in the stabilization of the ligand-receptor complex, emerged from the QSAR models reported.
