Abstract
Water solubility is a key physicochemical parameter in pesticide control and regulation, although sometimes its experimental determination is not an easy task. In this study, we present Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships (QSPRs) for predicting the water solubility at 20 °C of 1211 approved heterogeneous pesticide compounds, collected from the online Pesticides Properties Data Base (PPDB). Validated and generally applicable Multivariable Linear Regression (MLR) models were established, including molecular descriptors carrying constitutional and topological aspects of the analyzed compounds. The most representative descriptors were selected from the exploration of a large number of about 18,000 structural variables. A hybrid approach that involves a molecular descriptor, a fingerprint, and a flexible descriptor showed the best predictive performance.
