A theoretical measure of molecular similarity based on ab initio computations of electron density derived from molecular orbital wave functions is first applied to a model series (CH 3 CH 2 CH 3 , CH 3 OCH 3 , and CH 3 SCH 3 ) and then to the rings in a series of prostaglandins and to some histamine H2 antagonists. Comparison in terms of valence electron density seems to be a good basis for structure‐activity studies.
