In this work, the liquid chromatography retention time in monomeric and polymeric stationary phases of PAHs was investigated. Quantitative structure retention relationship approach has been successfully performed. At first, 3224 molecular descriptors were calculated for the optimized PAHs structure using Dragon software. Afterwards, the modelled dataset was divided using the CADEX algorithm into two subsets for internal and external validation. The genetic algorithm-based on a multiple linear regression was used for feature selection of the most significant descriptors and the model development. The selected models included five descriptors: nCIR, GGI3, GGI4, JGT, and DP14 were used for the monomeric column and nR10, EEig01x, L1m, H5v, HATS6v were introduced for the polymeric column. Robustness and predictive performance of the suggested models were verified by both internal and external statistical validation. The good quality of the statistical parameters indicates the stability and predictive power of the suggested models. This study demonstrated that the suitability of the established models in the prediction of liquid chromatographic retention indices of PAHs.

AbstractA new and simple quantitative structure-retention relationship (QSRR) was tested as a predictive model for adjusted retention times in complex petroleum condensate fractions. This relationship adopted the form of a non-linear collective retention-variables model. The adjusted retention times were correlated with the components molecular descriptors, e.g. total path counts and boiling temperatures, by multi-linear regression analysis. The obtained two QSRR models show an acceptable predictive accuracy with R 2 of 0.9949 and 0.9856, respectively. Stability and validity of the models were tested by comparing the calculated and the experimental retention indices.

The Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) methodology was used to predict biological properties, i.e., the blood–brain distribution (log BB), fraction unbounded in the brain (fu,brain), water-skin permeation (log Kp), binding to human plasma proteins (log Ka,HSA), and intestinal permeability (Caco-2), for three classes of fused azaisocytosine-containing congeners that were considered and tested as promising drug candidates. The compounds were characterized by lipophilic, structural, and electronic descriptors, i.e., chromatographic retention, topological polar surface area, polarizability, and molecular weight. Different reversed-phase liquid chromatography techniques were used to determine the chromatographic lipophilicity of the compounds that were tested, i.e., micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) with the ODS-2 column and polyoxyethylene lauryl ether (Brij 35) as the effluent component, an immobilized artificial membrane (IAM) chromatography with phosphatidylcholine column (IAM.PC.DD2) and chromatography with end-capped octadecylsilyl (ODS) column using aqueous solutions of acetonitrile as the mobile phases. Using multiple linear regression, we derived the statistically significant quantitative structure-activity relationships. All these QSAR equations were validated and were found to be very good. The investigations highlight the significance and possibilities of liquid chromatographic techniques with three different reversed-phase materials and QSARs methods in predicting the pharmacokinetic properties of our important organic compounds and reducing unethical animal testing.
