Human adenosine A(3) receptor (A(3) AR) binding affinity of pyrazolotriazolopyrimidine derivatives (n = 116) has been subjected to QSAR analyses using three-dimensional (shape, spatial, electronic, and molecular field) along with thermodynamic descriptors to explore the physicochemical requirements for the binding. QSAR models have been validated internally [using leave-one-out cross-validation method] and externally [using test set molecules] to ensure the predictive capacity of the models. The models suggest that shape of the substituent at N-8 position of the pyrazole ring should be optimum. Furthermore, lipophilic substituents having electronegative atoms at NH2 group of C-5 position of the pyrimidine ring with distributed negative charge over the surface may enhance the binding affinity. Again, the carbamoylation of the NH2 group at C-5 position of pyrimidine ring is an essential factor for binding with A(3) receptor. The QSAR models were used for the design and development of some novel thienopyrimidines which were predicted to have good affinity towards A(3) AR. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A machine learning q-RASPR approach for efficient predictions of the specific surface area of perovskites

Arkaprava Banerjee, Agnieszka Gajewicz-Skretna, Kunal Roy

Summary: In this study, a novel quantitative read-across structure-property relationship (q-RASPR) approach was used to model the specific surface area of various perovskites by combining Read-Across (RA) and quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR). Several machine learning models were developed using different algorithms based on error-based measures and previously selected features. The PLS model was selected as the best predictor for specific surface area, and the new q-RASPR method shows promise for predicting other property endpoints in materials science.

Prediction of soil ecotoxicity against Folsomia candida using acute and chronic endpoints

R. Paul, J. Roy, K. Roy

Summary: Soil invertebrates are important indicators of soil quality, but there are few in silico models available for assessing the soil toxicity of chemicals. In this study, soil ecotoxicity data for Folsomia candida were collected and analyzed using quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis. The developed models showed that factors such as molecular weight, phosphate groups, electron donor groups, and polyhalogen substitution have a significant impact on soil ecotoxicity. These models can be used for prioritizing the ecotoxicological risk assessment of organic chemicals in soil.

Understanding mechanism governing the inflammatory potential of metal oxide nanoparticles using periodic table-based descriptors: a nano-QSAR approach

J. Roy, K. Roy

Summary: Metal oxide nanoparticles (MeOxNPs) can be made safer by understanding the interaction between the immune system and nanoparticles. A nano-quantitative structure-activity relationship (nano-QSAR) model can be used to quickly and conveniently evaluate nanoparticle risk. Researchers developed nano-QSAR models to determine the inflammatory potential of MeOxNPs based on the THP-1 cell line. The results showed that periodic table-based descriptors can be reliable for modeling pro-inflammatory potential, which can be used to design metal oxide nanoparticles with lower toxicity.

Joyita Roy, Kunal Roy

Summary: With the rapid growth of nanotechnology, understanding the hazardous effects of metal oxide nanoparticles in the ecosystem is crucial. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models, using molecular descriptors, play a vital role in toxicological research. However, classical QSAR descriptors cannot accurately describe the structural details of metal oxide nanostructures, making modeling complex. This review discusses the use of periodic table-based descriptors in nano-QSAR modeling, their advantages in accurately simulating the toxicity of various nanomaterials, and the potential for developing universal descriptors.
