It has been found that the antibacterial effect of aminoacridines increases with the increase of the degree of their cationic ionization, while changes in the structure are relatively minor as concern the activity. The authors study the possible determination of a dependence between the pK of monosubstituted acridines on the position of substituent in their molecules. The theory of perturbations of molecular orbitals in its simplest variation was used. A comparison is shown of theoretical and experimental data on pK of monoaminoacridines.
