The dependence of mutagenic activity is investigated under three different headings : (i) using topological indices alone; (ii) using log P in combination with the topological indices and (iii) using Balaban and Balaban type indices alone. The results have shown that though more or less similar results are obtained in all the three categories, the involvement of log p term gave slightly better results. Furthermore the results show that the mutagenic activity is a function of size of the aromatic ring system. The results are discussed critically using a variety of statistical parameters

    Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) and docking studies have been performed on a large series of cinnamic acid analogues studied by various authors as Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) inhibitors. A multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis has shown that electronic properties of these compounds are the governing factors of their activity and docking study has shown that compounds can form hydrogen bonds with the receptor and have effective steric interactions involving dispersion forces. Using the MLR model, some new compounds were proposed that have higher potency than the existing ones.Declared non

Ltd., 3, Khatipura, lndore-452 007, Madhya Pradesh, India E-mail : [email protected] Manuscript received 22 April 2008. accepted 19 December 2008 In the present work we have considered miscellaneous set of 48 compounds and modeled their log P using classical as well as topological descriptors. The results indicate that the estimation (modeling) of Jog P is very much effective when the structural and topological descriptors are used together. The most appropriate model for the estimation (modeling) of log P indicated that by using the combination of structural and topological descriptors the results account for 93% variation in log P

    Comparative QSAR Study on Para-substituted Aromatic Sulphonamides as CAII Inhibitors: Information vs. Topological (distance-based and connectivity) Indices

    Comparative quantitative structure–activity relationship studies on para-substituted aromatic sulphonamides carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) inhibitors are reported in this paper. The study is made utilizing (i) information indices along; (ii) distance-based and connectivity indices and (iii) combination of information, distance-based and connectivity type topological indices. The study has shown that distance- based and connectivity type indices are superior for modelling, monitoring and estimating CAII inhibition. The results are critically discussed using a variety of statistical parameters. Our results show that starting from the mono-parametric regression itself, our results are superior: Furthermore, our methodology allowed carrying out much higher-parametric regressions, yielding a nine-parametric model with R2 as high as 0.8375. The eightparametric regression, gave R2 = 0.8343. As there is not much difference, we have considered the eight-parametric regression the best.One of the authors, Shalini Singh expresses her thanks to the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, New Delhi, for awarding D ST project SR ⁄ WOS-A ⁄ CS ⁄ 61 ⁄ 2004 under Woman Scientists scheme and to Principal for his interest and for providing facility to carry out this work
