A new drug design method, the multiple field three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (MF-3D-QSAR), is proposed. It is a combination and development of classical 2D-QSAR and traditional 3D-QSAR. In addition to the electrostatic and van der Waals potentials, more potential fields (such as lipophilic potential, hydrogen bonding potential, and nonthermodynamic factors) are in...

A Kohonen self-organizing map (SOM) is used to classify a data set consisting of dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors with the help of an external set of Dragon descriptors. The resultant classification is used to generate training, cross-validation (CV) and prediction sets for QSAR modeling using the ADAPT methodology. The results are compared to those of QSAR models generated using sets created...

In this paper the Multi-linear regression analysis has been applied for QSAR study. The relationship has been worked out between the Log 1/C values of a series of compounds and certain quantum chemical and energy descriptors. The QSAR studies of Triazines inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase based on quantum chemical and energy descriptors shows that among all the 28 QSAR models PA51 to PA 78, th...

The data is obtained from exploring the modulatory activities of bioflavonoids on P-glycoprotein function by ligand-based approaches. Multivariate Linear-QSAR models for predicting the induced/inhibitory activities of the flavonoids were created. Molecular descriptors were initially used as independent variables and a dependent variable was expressed as pFAR. The variables were then used in MLR...

In this paper, quantum chemical parameters at density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP/6-31G** (d,p) level of theory were calculated for three organic corrosion inhibitors [N-benzoyl-N-(p-aminophenyl) thiourea, N-benzoyl-N-(thiazole) thiourea and N-acetyl-N-(dibenzyl) thiourea. The calculated molecular descriptors such as the HOMO, LUMO, dipole moment, chemical potential (μ), chemical hardness (ղ)...

A general feeling of disillusionment with QSAR has settled across the modeling community in recent years. Most practitioners seem to agree that QSAR has not fulfilled the expectations set for its ability to predict biological activity. Among the possible reasons that have been proposed recently for this disappointment are chance correlation, rough response surfaces, incorrect functional forms, ...

Two dimensional quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) study on series of substituted 2-azetidinone derivatives was performed by using V-LIFE MDS 3.0 software. Several statistical expression for 2D QSAR were developed using statistical methods like multiple regeression, principle component regression, partial least square regression etc. Out of several models, the best five 2D QSAR...

Quantitative structure activity relationships (QSARs) are functions that predict bioactivity from compound structure. Although almost every form of statistical and machine learning method has been applied to learning QSARs, there is no single best way of learning QSARs. Therefore, currently the QSAR scientist has little to guide her/him on which QSAR approach to choose for a specific problem. T...

QSAR models of 22 benzamidine derivatives reported as inhibitors of thrombin have been developed using the descriptors heat of formation, valence connectivity index, shape index, solvent accessibility surface area, molar refractivity, log P and molecular weight. QSAR models, in which either heat of formation or shape index or molar refractivity is present, have good predictive powers as correla...
