Purpose of the Study:
- To apply molecular topology and discriminant analysis for predicting hypoglycemic drug properties.
- To develop and validate predictive models for identifying new hypoglycemic agents.
- To utilize pharmacological distribution diagrams for visualizing and selecting potential drug candidates.
Main Methods:
- Multiple regression equations were used with statistical parameters derived from molecular topology.
- Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was employed for hypoglycemic activity selection.
- Cross-validation studies were conducted to assess model stability and predictive accuracy.
Main Results:
