The current status of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) in predicting toxicity is assessed. Widespread use of these methods to predict toxicity from chemical structure is possible, both by industry to develop new compounds, and also by regulatory agencies. The current use of QSARs is restricted by the lack of suitable toxicity data available for modelling, the suitability of...

Predictive quantitative structure–activity relationship was performed on the novel 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline and 4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives to explore relationship between the structure of synthesized compounds and their anti-HIV-1 activities. In this way, the suitable set of the molecular descriptors was calculated and the important descriptors using the variable selections ...

quinolone antibacterials are one of the most important classes of pharmacological agents known as potent inhibitors of bacterial dna gyrase and topoisomerase iv that efficiently inhibit dna replication and transcription by generating several double-stranded dna break. some quinolone derivatives demonstrated inhibitory potential against eukaryote topoismarase ii and substantial dose-dependent cy...

The recently introduced non-stochastic and stochastic bond-based linear indices are been generalized to codify chemical structure information for chiral drugs, making use of a trigonometric 3D-chirality correction factor. These improved modified descriptors are applied to several well-known data sets to validate each one of them. Particularly, Cramer's steroid data set has become a benchmark fo...

Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSAR) analyses are methods correlating a pharmacological property with a mathematical representation of a molecular property distribution around three-dimensional molecular models for a set of congeners. 3D-QSAR methods are known to be highly sensitive to ligand conformation and alignment method. The current study collects 32 u...

A quantitative structure activity relationship analysis was applied to a library of 51 benzylacetamide derivatives with anticonvulsant activity. The molecular structures of 51 compounds were optimized with the Semiempirical Method PM6 (Parametric Method-6) included in the MOPAC2009 software. The optimized structures of all the examined compounds were represented by 1497 DRAGON-type descriptors....

Since the pioneering effort of Hansch and Fujita, quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) have proved valuable in optimizing lead structures. Enriching classical 3D-QSAR analysis, which exploits the three-dimensional structure of ligands, with structural information of the target has helped to improve the interpretability of the derived models and to increase their predictive power...
