The antioxidant properties of coumarin derivatives using the 2,2ˈ -diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay were investigated by the application of Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) studies. The molecular structures were optimized and submitted for the generation of quantum chemical and molecular descriptors. Genetic Function Algorithm (GFA) was employed in m...

Molecular descriptors have been explored extensively. From these studies, it is known that a large number of descriptors are strongly correlated and capture similar characteristics of molecules. In this paper, we evaluate 919 Dragon-descriptors of 6 different categories by means of clustering. Also, we analyze these different categories of descriptors also find a subset of descriptors which are...

it is important to determine whether a candidate molecule is capable of penetrating the plasma-brain barrier indrug discovery and development. the aim of this paper is to establish a predictive model for plasma-brainbarrier penetration using simple descriptors the usefulness of the quantum chemical descriptors, calculated atthe level of the dft and he theories using 6-310* basis set for qsar st...

In a previous paper the theory of the new molecular descriptors called GETAWAY (GEometry, Topology, and Atom-Weights AssemblY) was explained. These descriptors have been proposed with the aim of matching 3D-molecular geometry, atom relatedness, and chemical information. In this paper prediction ability in structure-property correlations of GETAWAY descriptors has been tested extensively by anal...

There has been a great collective effort in the search for perceptually meaningful sound transformation techniques. The transformation of sounds matching target sound descriptors is a promising candidate because the descriptors are thought to capture timbral dimensions corresponding to relevant perceptual features. However, matching the descriptors alone is not enough because there are a large ...
