Qsar Models

Background: Pharmacological and physicochemical classification of bases’ selected analogues of nucleic acids is proposed in the study. Objective: Structural parameters received by the PCM (Polarizable Continuum Model) with several types of calculation methods for the structures in vacuo and in the aquatic environment together with the huge set of extra molecular descriptors obtained by the professional software and literature values of biological activity were used to search the relationships. Methods: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) together with Factor Analysis (FA) and Multiple Linear Regressions (MLR) as the types of the chemometric approach based on semi-empirical ab initio molecular modeling studies were performed. Results: The equations with statistically significant descriptors were proposed to demonstrate both the common and differentiating characteristics of the bases' analogues of nucleic acids based on the quantum chemical calculations and biological activity data. Conclusion: The obtained QSAR models can be used for predicting and explaining the activity of studied molecules.

Correlation Corrections

Ab initio MO optimalization of the 2H-pyran molecule leads to a defined equilibrium geometry of this so far not identified heterocyclic molecule and to a physical justification of its existence. More advanced nonempirical wavefunctions and temperature corrections indicate that heterocyclic molecule I is energetically less stable than non-cyclic isomers II and III. Wavenumbers of fundamental vibrational transitions of heterocycle I and also known (2E)-2,4-pentadienal (IIIb were calculated using 3-21 G wavefunctions. The vibrational spectrum of compound I is predicted on the basis of correlation corrections.
