Abstract
Topographic (3D) molecular connectivity indices based on molecular graphs weighted with quantum chemical parameters are used in QSPR and QSAR studies. These descriptors were compared to 2D connectivity indices (vertex and edge ones) and to quantum chemical descriptors in modeling partition coefficient (log P) and antibacterial activity of 2-furylethylene derivatives. In describing log P the 3D connectivity indices produced a significant improvement (more than 29%) in the predictive capacity of the model compared to those derived with topological and quantum chemical descriptors. The best linear discriminant model for classifying antibacterial activity of these compounds was also obtained with the use of 3D connectivity indices. The global percent of good classification obtained with 3D and 2D connectivity as well as quantum chemical descriptors were 94.1, 91.2, and 88.2, respectively. In general, all these models predict correctly the antibacterial activity of a set of nine new 2-furylethylene derivatives. The best result is obtained with 3D connectivity indices that classified correctly 100% of these compounds versus 88.9% obtained with 2D connectivity or quantum chemical descriptors.
