This study introduces an inverse quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) workflow for designing novel chemical entities. The workflow optimizes molecular structures in silico using existing QSPR models and prediction confidence for desired properties.

Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry
  • Cheminformatics
  • Drug discovery

Background:

  • Quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) models are crucial for predicting chemical properties.
  • De novo design of novel chemical entities (NCE) requires efficient in silico workflows.
  • Inverse QSPR problems aim to generate molecules with desired properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present a workflow for the inverse quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) problem.
  • To enable the de novo design of novel chemical entities (NCE) in silico.
  • To optimize molecular structures based on multiple objectives, including prediction confidence.

Main Methods:

  • Application of existing QSPR models to calculate multiple objectives.
