Area of Science:

  • Environmental Chemistry
  • Toxicology
  • Computational Chemistry

Background:

  • Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) pose significant risks to human and wildlife health.
  • EDCs can mimic or antagonize natural hormones, disrupting normal physiological functions.
  • Characterizing a large number of chemicals requires efficient screening methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model for effective estrogens.
  • To propose a novel variable selection method for identifying key molecular descriptors.
  • To ensure the model adheres to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) principles for QSAR acceptability.

Main Methods:

  • Employed a large set of molecular descriptors for 53 chemicals.
  • Developed a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model using multiple-linear regression (MLR).
  • Utilized a novel variable selection method based on variable interaction (VSMVI) with leave-multiple-out cross-validation (LMOCV).
  • Incorporated OECD principles, multiple validation methods, applicability domain definition, and molecular docking for outlier analysis.

Main Results:

  • The VSMVI method effectively selected the best subset of molecular descriptors.
  • The developed QSAR model demonstrated robust performance in characterizing estrogenic activity.
  • Molecular docking provided insights into the interaction of outliers with target receptors.

Conclusions:

  • The VSMVI is an effective, feasible, and practical tool for rapid screening of relevant molecular descriptors.
  • The QSAR model provides a reliable method for assessing potential endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
  • This approach supports the identification and regulation of hazardous chemicals.
