    Summary

    Molecular connectivity indices better predict chemical toxicity than physicochemical properties. Combining both offers the best approach for predicting toxicological parameters in chemical safety assessments.

    Area of Science:

    • Toxicology
    • Medicinal Chemistry
    • Computational Chemistry

    Background:

    • Understanding chemical toxicity is crucial for safety.
    • Physicochemical properties are often used to predict toxicity.
    • Limitations exist in predicting toxicity using traditional parameters.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between chemical structure and toxicity.
    • To evaluate the predictive power of physicochemical and molecular connectivity indices.
    • To identify optimal methods for predicting toxicological parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied derivatives of phenol, benzene, aniline, and aliphatic amines.
    • Applied the Hansch model using octanol/water partition coefficient, electronic, and steric constants.

  • Utilized molecular connectivity indices to describe molecular topology.

    • Main Results:

    • Physicochemical parameters alone were insufficient for predicting acute lethal doses and no-effect levels in rats.
    • Molecular connectivity indices showed a stronger correlation with toxicity than physicochemical parameters.
    • The combined application of both index types yielded the best predictive correlations.

    Conclusions:

    • Molecular connectivity indices offer improved prediction of chemical toxicity.
    • A combination of physicochemical and molecular connectivity indices is recommended for robust toxicological predictions.
    • This integrated approach enhances chemical safety assessments.
