The effect of the structure of organic compounds on the acute toxicity upon oral injection in mice was studied using 2D simplex representation of the molecular structure and Random forest (RF) methods. Satisfactory quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models were constructed (R2 test = 0,61–0,62). The interpretation of the obtained QSAR models was carried out. The contributions of known toxicophores with established mechanisms of action were calculated in order to confirm the ability of the interpretation approach to correctly rank them relative to other structural fragments. The influence of the molecular surroundings of some toxicophores was analyzed. We analyzed the contributions of other highly ranked fragments from the list of common functional groups and ring systems in order to find new potential toxicophores. The on-line version of the expert system “OCHEM” (https://ochem.eu) and Arithmetic Mean Toxicity (AMT) approach were used for a comparative QSAR study.

: Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) was used to study the partition coefficient of some quinolones and their derivatives. These molecules are broad-spectrum antibiotic pharmaceutics. First, data were divided into two categories of train and test (validation) sets using random selection method. Second, three approaches including stepwise selection (STS) (forward), genetic algorithm (GA), and simulated annealing (SA) were used to select the descriptors, with the aim of examining the effect feature selection methods. To find the relation between descriptors and partition coefficient, multiple linear regression (MLR), principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS) were used. QSAR study showed that the both regression and descriptor selection methods have vital role in the results. Different statistical metrics showed that the MLR-SA approach with (r2=0.96, q2=0.91, pred_r2=0.95) gives the best outcome. The proposed expression by MLR-SA approach can be used in the better design of novel quinolones and their derivatives.
