Much interest has been paid in the last decade on molecular predictors of promiscuity, including molecular weight, log P, molecular complexity, acidity constant and molecular topology, with correlations between promiscuity and those descriptors seemingly being context-dependent. It has been observed that certain therapeutic categories (e.g. mood disorders therapies) display a tendency to include multi-target agents (i.e. selective non-selectivity). Numerous QSAR models based on topological descriptors suggest that the topology of a given drug could be used to infer its therapeutic applications. Here, we have used descriptive statistics to explore the distribution of molecular topology descriptors and other promiscuity predictors across different therapeutic categories. Working with the publicly available ChEMBL database and 14 molecular descriptors, both hierarchical and non-hierchical clustering methods were applied to the descriptors mean values of the therapeutic categories after the refinement of the database (770 drugs grouped into 34 therapeutic categories). On the other hand, another publicly available database (repoDB) was used to retrieve cases of clinically-approved drug repositioning examples that could be classified into the therapeutic categories considered by the aforementioned clusters (111 cases), and the correspondence between the two studies was evaluated. Interestingly, a 3- cluster hierarchical clustering scheme based on only 14 molecular descriptors linked to promiscuity seem to explain up to 82.9% of approved cases of drug repurposing retrieved of repoDB. Therapeutic categories seem to display distinctive molecular patterns, which could be used as a basis for drug screening and drug design campaigns, and to unveil drug repurposing opportunities between particular therapeutic categories.

AbstractCycloparaphenylene is a particle that comprises a few benzene rings associated with covalent bonds in the para positions to frame a ring-like structure. Similarly, poly (para-phenylenes) are macromolecules that include benzenoid compounds straightforwardly joined to each other by C–C bonds. Because of their remarkable architectural highlights, these structures have fascinated attention from numerous vantage focuses. Descriptors are among the most fundamental segments of prescient quantitative structure-activity and property relationship (QSAR/QSPR) demonstrating examination. They encode chemical data of particles as quantitative numbers, which are utilized to create a mathematical correlation. The nature of a predictive model relies upon great demonstrating insights, yet additionally on the extraction of compound highlights. To a great extent, Molecular topology has exhibited its adequacy in portraying sub-atomic structures and anticipating their properties. It follows a two-dimensional methodology, just thinking about the interior plan, including molecules. Explicit subsets speak the design of every atom of topological descriptors. When all around picked, these descriptors give a unique method of describing an atomic system that can represent the most significant highlights of the molecular structure. Detour index is one such topological descriptor with much application in chemistry, especially in QSAR/QSPR studies. This article presents an exact analytical expression for the detour index of cycloparaphenylene and poly (para-phenylene).

Background: Neurological disorder, depression is the globally 4th leading cause of chronic disabilities in human beings. Objective: This study aimed to model a 2D-QSAR equation that can facilitate the researchers to design better aplysinopsin analogs with potent hMAO-A inhibition. Methods: Aplysinopsin analogs dataset were subjected to ADME assessment for drug-likeness suitability using StarDrop software before modeled equation. 2D-QSAR equations were generated using VLife MDS 4.6. Dataset was segregated into training and test set using different methodologies, followed by variable selection. Model development was done using principal component regression, partial least square regression, and multiple regression. Results: The dataset has successfully qualified the drug-likeness criteria in ADME simulation, with more than 90% of molecules cleared the ideal conditions including intrinsic solubility, hydrophobicity, CYP3A4 2C9pKi, hERG pIC50, etc. 112 models were developed using multiparametric consideration of methodologies. The best six models were discussed with their extent of significance and prediction capabilities. ALP97 was emerged out as the most significant model out of all, with ~83% of the variance in the training set, the internal predictive ability of ~74% while having the external predictive capability of ~79%. Conclusion: ADME assessment suggested that aplysinopsin analogs are worth investigating. Interaction among the descriptors in a way of summation or multiplication products, are quite influential and yielding significant 2D-QSAR models with good prediction efficiency. This model can be used for the design of a more potent hMAO-A inhibitor having an aplysinopsin scaffold, which can then contribute to the treatment of depression and other neurological disorders.

AbstractPrevious studies show that certain physical and chemical properties of chemical compounds are closely related with their molecular structure. As a theoretical basis, it provides a new way of thinking by analyzing the molecular structure of the compounds to understand their physical and chemical properties. The molecular topological indices are numerical invariants of a molecular graph and are useful to predict their bioactivity. Among these topological indices, the eccentric-connectivity index has a prominent place, because of its high degree of predictability of pharmaceutical properties. In this article, we compute the closed formulae of eccentric-connectivity–based indices and its corresponding polynomial for water-soluble perylenediimides-cored polyglycerol dendrimers. Furthermore, the edge version of eccentric-connectivity index for a new class of dendrimers is determined. The conclusions we obtained in this article illustrate the promising application prospects in the field of bioinformatics and nanomaterial engineering.
