Abstract A series of 5-dialkylaminomethyl-2-amino-2-oxazolines was prepared and screened for diuretic activity. These compounds were previously examined for their lipophilic behaviour using a reversed-phase HPLC technique. The capacity factors, expressed as log k'w, were correlated with the partition coefficient log P. A QSAR analysis of the diuretic activity in relation with the lipophilicity was attempted for these structurally related ...
