Table 2 Bioactivities of conoidecyclics A-C isolated from the organic extract of T. conoides and their molecular descriptors.
Bioactivities a (IC; mM) 50 Conoidecyclic A Conoidecyclic B Conoidecyclic C Standard Standard

Different superscripts (P–V) indicate the standards used for different activities; P- α -Tocopherol; Q-Butylated hydroxy toluene; Ib-Ibuprofen; S-Sodium salicylate; CP- Captopril; SV- Sodium metavandate.

a Bioactivities were expressed as IC values (mM). Samples were analyzed in triplicate (n = 3) and expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Means followed by the 50 different superscripts (a-e) within the same row indicated significant differences (P <0.05).

b Selectivity index has been calculated as the ratio of anti COX-1(IC) to that of anti COX-2(IC).

50 50 c Structure-activity relationship analysis was carried out by using different molecular descriptors of the purified compounds as described in the text. tPSA, topological polar surface area; MV, molar volume; P, parachor; MR, molar refractivity; Log POW, logarithmic scale of the octanol-water partition coefficient; PI, polarizability.
