AbstractThe ability of accurate predictions of biological response (biological activity/property/toxicity) of a given chemical makes the quantitative structure‐activity/property/toxicity relationship (QSAR/QSPR/QSTR) models unique among the in silico tools. In addition, experimental data of selected species can also be used as an independent variable along with other structural as well as physicochemical variables to predict the response for different species formulating quantitative activity–activity relationship (QAAR)/quantitative structure–activity–activity relationship (QSAAR) approach. Irrespective of the models' type, the developed model's quality, and reliability need to be checked through multiple classical stringent validation metrics. Among the validation metrics, error-based metrics are more significant as the basic idea of a good predictive model is to improve the predictions' quality by lowering the predicted residuals for new query compounds. Following the concept, we have checked the predictive quality of the QSAR and QSAAR models employing kernel-weighted local polynomial regression (KwLPR) approach over the traditional linear and non-linear regression-based approaches tools such as multiple linear regression (MLR) and k nearest neighbors (kNN). Five datasets which were previously modeled using linear and non-linear regression method were considered to implement the KwPLR approach, followed by comparison of their validation metrics outcomes. For all five cases, the KwLPR based models reported better results over the traditional approaches. The present study's focus is not to develop a better or improved QSAR/QSAAR model over the previous ones, but to demonstrate the advantage, prediction power, and reliability of the KwLPR algorithm and establishing it as a novel, powerful cheminformatic tool. To facilitate the use of the KwLPR algorithm for QSAR/QSPR/QSTR/QSAAR modeling, the authors provide an in-house developed KwLPR.RMD script under the open-source R programming language.

Study on anti breast cancer activity of 3-substituted 4-anilino coumarin derivatives by using quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) has been performed. The structures and the activity data were literatured from Guoshun et al. experiment. The molecular and electronic molecule properties were obtained from DFT/BPV86 6-31G method calculation after was through methods validation. The QSAR analysis were shown by Multi Linear Regression method (MLR). The best model of obtained for 3-substituted 4-anilino coumarin derivatives is: Log IC50 = 5.905 + (0.936 x qC1) + (-8.225 x qC8) + (-0.582 x qC13) + (11.273 x qC15) + (0.869 x ∆E) ; n = 26; r2= 0.704; Fcal/Ftab = 2.462; SEE = 0.184.

This article presents the results of the QSAR study of bisphenol A and its analogs. Molecular-chemical analysis of these substances is performed on base of the Density Functional Theory (DFT), using the function 6-31 + G *. The calculation of the characteristic parameters of the structure is given by optimizing molecular structures, vibrational frequencies, the molecular orbital energies with reasonable accuracy. The obtained quantum parameters and known observable activities are used as input data for constructing the QSAR model, using the classical data processing method in statistical mathematics - the multivariable linear regression. The constructed model QSAR has R2> 0,9; and . The statistical parameters show that the model, constructing by method of multiple linear regression using the parameters of quantum chemistry can be used as a predictive model of the activity of estrogens for unexplored derivatives and BPA analogs with moderate reliability.

Aim and Objective:A Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) has been widely developed to derive a correlation between chemical structures of molecules to their known activities. In the present investigation, QSAR models have been carried out on 76 Camptothecin (CPT) derivatives as anticancer drugs to develop a robust model for the prediction of physicochemical properties.Materials and Methods:A training set of 60 structurally diverse CPT derivatives was used to construct QSAR models for the prediction of physiochemical parameters such as Van der Waals surface area (SvdW), Van der Waals Volume (VvdW), Molar Refractivity (MR) and Polarizability (α). The QSAR models were optimized using Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) analysis. A test set of 16 compounds was evaluated using the defined models.:The Genetic Algorithm And Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (GA-MLR) were used to select the descriptors derived from the Dragon software to generate the correlation models that relate the structural features to the studied properties.Results:QSAR models were used to delineate the important descriptors responsible for the properties of the CPT derivatives. The statistically significant QSAR models derived by GA-MLR analysis were validated by Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation (LOOCV) and test set validation methods. The multicollinearity and autocorrelation properties of the descriptors contributed in the models were tested by calculating the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) and the Durbin–Watson (DW) statistics.Conclusion:The predictive ability of the models was found to be satisfactory. Thus, QSAR models derived from this study may be helpful for modeling and designing some new CPT derivatives and for predicting their activity.
