    Molecular connectivity analysis yielded high-quality structure-activity relationship equations for antimicrobial and antiviral compounds. This approach improved prediction accuracy compared to traditional methods, guiding future drug design.

    Area of Science:

    • Medicinal Chemistry
    • Computational Chemistry
    • Drug Discovery

    Background:

    • Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies are crucial for optimizing drug efficacy.
    • Molecular connectivity indices offer a novel approach to quantifying molecular structure for SAR analysis.
    • Traditional SAR methods like Hansch analysis have limitations in certain datasets.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze antimicrobial and antiviral data sets using molecular connectivity.
    • To develop high-quality quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) equations.
    • To compare the predictive power of molecular connectivity with existing SAR methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of antimicrobial data for phenyl propyl ethers against Staphylococcus aureus.

  • Analysis of antiviral data for benzimidazoles against Influenza B virus.
  • Utilizing molecular connectivity indices (e.g., 1chi, 3chiP, 4chiUPC, 6chiP) in regression analysis.
  • Partitioning regression variables to identify key structural features influencing activity.

    • Main Results:

    • High-quality QSAR equations were generated for both data sets (r=0.957 for antimicrobial, r=0.950 for antiviral).
    • Molecular connectivity analysis outperformed traditional pi,sigma and Hansch analyses.
    • Key structural features identified: para-region of phenyl ring in ethers, five-membered ring substitution in benzimidazoles.

    Conclusions:

    • Molecular connectivity provides a robust method for QSAR analysis in drug discovery.
    • Specific structural features influencing activity were elucidated, aiding synthetic strategy.
    • This SAR approach can guide the design of more potent antimicrobial and antiviral agents.
