Graph theory is successfully applied in developing a relationship between chemical structure and biological activity. The relationship of two graph invariants, the eccentric connectivity index and the eccentric Zagreb index are investigated with regard to anti-inflammatory activity, for a dataset consisting of 76 pyrazole carboxylic acid hydrazide analogs. The eccentricity ε v of vertex v in a graph G is the distance between v and the vertex furthermost from v in a graph G. The distance between two vertices is the length of a shortest path between those vertices in a graph G. In this paper, we consider the Octagonal Grid O n m . We compute Connective Eccentric index C ξ ( G ) = ∑ v ∈ V ( G ) d v / ε v , Eccentric Connective Index ξ ( G ) = ∑ v ∈ V ( G ) d v ε v and eccentric Zagreb index of Octagonal Grid O n m , where d v represents the degree of the vertex v in G.

AbstractOrganophosphorus pesticides parathion, chlorpyrifos, and malathion inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE; EC 3.1.1.7) via phosphorylation of its active site. AChE reactivators and anticholinergics are compounds used as antidotes in the case of intoxication by these AChE inhibitors. In this work, chlorpyrifos, a representative member of this pesticide family, was used to inhibit the AChE activity of rat brain. The effect of twenty-one structurally different AChE reactivators was tested in vitro and subsequently, the relationship between their chemical structure and biological activity was outlined.

The functional activity of the reticuloendothelial system (RES), as determined by the intravascular clearance of colloidal carbon, and the degree of induced RE hyperplasia were studied following the intravenous injection of various constituents of zymosan. The readily extractable lipid component from the yeast cell wall was inactive, as was the polysaccharide, mannan. Stimulatory activity was still present in the zymosan residue after removal of free and bound lipids. The administration of glucan derived either from yeast, or its cell wall, resulted in marked RE activation and induced hyperplasia, demonstrating it to be the active RE stimulating agent. The relationship of glucan's chemical structure to its ability to induce RE hyperfunction and hyperplasia is discussed.
