The molecular hydrophobicity (RMO) of several newly synthesized phenoxathiin derivatives and of phenols with congeneric structures have been recently correlated with some simple physico-chemical calculated parameters of compounds: the water solubility (log Sw); the partition coefficient (log P); the Gibbs energy of formation (∆Gf ), and the aromaticity index (HOMA) [Beteringhe, A., Radutiu, A. C., Constantinescu, T., Patron, L. and Balaban, A. T., Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship (QSPR) study of the hydrophobicity of phenols and 2-(aryloxy-α-acetyl)- phenoxathiin derivatives, Rev. Chim. (Bucures¸ti) , 59 (2008), No. 11, 1175–1179]. The best correlation was found as a biparametric regression equation in terms of log Sw and HOMA, which cannot be improved by adding one or two of the parameters aforementioned. In the present work we describee the weighted electronic distance based topological index (ZEP) and then use it for QSPR studies of RMO in combination with log Sw, log P, ∆Gf and HOMA. Most of the three parameter QSPR correlations of RMO are significantly improved by involving the theoretical parameter ZEP.

In a preceding study, the molecular hydrophobicity (RM0) was determined experimentally from reverse-phase thin-layer chromatography data for several substituted phenols and 2-(aryloxy-a-acetyl)-phenoxathiin derivatives, obtained from the corresponding phenoxides and 2-(a-bromoacetyl)-phenoxathiin. QSPR correlations for RM0 were explored using four calculated molecular descriptors: the water solubility parameter (log Sw), log P, the Gibbs energy of formation (DGf), and the aromaticity index (HOMA). Triparametric correlations do not improve substantially the biparametric correlation of RM0 in terms of log Sw and HOMA.

Regenerative medicine represents an emerging multidisciplinary field that brings together engineering methods and complexity of life sciences into a unified fundamental understanding of structure-property relationship in micro/nano environment to develop the next generation of scaffolds and hydrogels to restore or improve tissue functions. Chitosan has several unique physico-chemical properties that make it a highly desirable polysaccharide for various applications such as, biomedical, food, nutraceutical, agriculture, packaging, coating, etc. However, the utilization of chitosan in regenerative medicine is often limited due to its inadequate mechanical, barrier and thermal properties. Cellulosic nanomaterials (CNs), owing to their exceptional mechanical strength, ease of chemical modification, biocompatibility and favorable interaction with chitosan, represent an attractive candidate for the fabrication of chitosan/ CNs scaffolds and hydrogels. The unique mechanical and biological properties of the chitosan/CNs bio-nanocomposite make them a material of choice for the development of next generation bio-scaffolds and hydrogels for regenerative medicine applications. In this review, we have summarized the preparation method, mechanical properties, morphology, cytotoxicity/ biocompatibility of chitosan/CNs nanocomposites for regenerative medicine applications, which comprises tissue engineering and wound dressing applications.

The estimation of retention factors by correlation equations with physico-chemical properties can be of great helpl in chromatographic studies. The retention factors were experimentally measured by RP-HPTLC on impregnated silica gel with paraffin oil using two-component solvent systems. The relationships between solute retention and modifier concentration were described by Snyder?s linear equation. A quantitative structure-retention relationship was developed for a series of s-triazine compounds by the multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis. The MLR procedure was used to model the relationships between the molecular descriptors and retention of s-triazine derivatives. The physicochemical molecular descriptors were calculated from the optimized structures. The physico-chemical properties were the lipophilicity (log P), connectivity indices (?), total energy (Et), water solubility (log W), dissociation constant (pKa), molar refractivity (MR), and Gibbs energy (GibbsE) of s-triazines. A high agreement between the experimental and predicted retention parameters was obtained when the dissociation constant and the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance were used as the molecular descriptors. The empirical equations may be successfully used for the prediction of the various chromatographic characteristics of substances, with a similar chemical structure.

Study of the adsorption and electroreduction behavior of cefpodoxime proxetil, cefotaxime, desacetylcefotaxime, cefetamet, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, and cefuroxime axetile at the mercury electrode surface has been performed using Cyclic (CV), Differential Pulse (DPV), and Adsorptive Stripping Differential Pulse Voltammetry (AdSDPV). The Quantitative Structure Property Relationship (QSPR) study of the seven cephalosporins adsorption at the mercury electrode has been based on the density functional theory DFT-B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) calculations of molecular orbitals, partial charges and electron densities of analytes. The DFT-parameters and QSPR model explain well the process of adsorption of the examined cephalosporins. QSPR study defined that cefalosporins with lower charge of sulphur in the thiazine moiety, lower electron density on the nitrogen atom of the N-O bond, higher number of hydrogen bond accepting groups, and higher principal moment of inertia should express high adsorption on the mercury electrode.

Singlet oxygen production quantum yields of pteridine photosensitizers were analyzed with the QSPR method. The ability of pterins and flavins to generate1O2in D2O correlated withEHOMOand electronegativity, as well as with the dipole moment and some other parameters.
