New topological maximum cross correlation (TMACC) descriptors offer predictive quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) without 3D modeling. These descriptors are competitive with existing methods and provide interpretable results.

Area of Science:

  • * Cheminformatics
  • * Computational Chemistry
  • * Drug Discovery

Background:

  • * Quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) are crucial for drug discovery.
  • * Existing QSAR methods often require complex 3D structural information or alignment.
  • * There is a need for efficient and interpretable QSAR descriptor generation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To introduce novel topological maximum cross correlation (TMACC) descriptors.
  • * To evaluate the performance of TMACC descriptors in QSAR modeling.
  • * To provide an accessible and interpretable QSAR methodology.

Main Methods:

  • * Calculation of TMACC descriptors based on the autocorrelation method.
  • * Application of TMACC descriptors in quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs).

  • * Validation using partial least-squares regression across eight diverse data sets.

    • Main Results:

    • * TMACC descriptors demonstrated high predictive power in QSAR studies.
    • * Performance was competitive with state-of-the-art 2D QSAR methods like hologram QSAR (HQSAR).
    • * TMACC descriptors yielded improved cross-validated coefficient of determination (LOO q2) for five data sets.

    Conclusions:

    • * TMACC descriptors offer a computationally efficient and predictive approach to QSAR.
    • * They provide interpretable structure-activity relationships (SARs) without 3D conformations.
    • * Open-source software for TMACC descriptor generation is available, facilitating wider adoption.
