Abstract: The results of quantum-chemical calculations on antitumour preparations concerning the mechanism of their action at the electronic and molecular levels and structure–activity correlations are discussed in this review. Preparations whose action involves alkylating and free-radial mechanisms, complex-forming agents, and antimetabolites are considered. Modern quantum-chemical methods for calculations on biologically active substances are described.
