Summary

We introduce quantum topological molecular similarity (QTMS), a novel method using electron density topology for quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs). QTMS effectively identifies key molecular fragments driving QSAR predictions.

Area of Science:

Computational Chemistry
Medicinal Chemistry
Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR)

Background:

Traditional molecular similarity methods face challenges in accurately representing molecular interactions.
Developing robust methods for QSAR is crucial for drug discovery and chemical research.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and validate a new molecular similarity method, quantum topological molecular similarity (QTMS).
To demonstrate QTMS's applicability and advantages over existing methods in QSAR studies.

Main Methods:

Developed a novel molecular similarity approach based on electron density topology.
Applied QTMS to five diverse sets of carboxylic acid systems.
Integrated QTMS with partial least squares (PLS) for regression analysis.

Main Results:

QTMS achieved excellent and statistically valid regressions across tested carboxylic systems.
The QTMS method demonstrated superiority over traditional Carbó-like similarity indices.
QTMS successfully identified crucial molecular fragments responsible for QSAR.

Conclusions:

Quantum topological molecular similarity (QTMS) offers a powerful and accurate approach for QSAR analysis.
QTMS provides insights into the active centers of molecules, aiding in rational drug design.
This method enhances the predictive power and interpretability of QSAR models.
