Abstract

With both the comparative-molecular-field analysis (CoMFA) and the comparative-molecular-similarity-indices analysis (CoMSIA), the paper describes two five-component, three-dimensional, quantitative-structure-property-relationship (3D-QSPR) models for the aqueous solubility logSw (Sw, mol x L(-1)) of 52 phenylsulfonyl carboxylates. Two models yield the leave-one-out cross-validated correlation coefficient q2 values 0.851 and 0.821, and the conventional correlation coefficient r2 values 0.963 and 0.929, respectively. The achievement of high q2 and r2 values of the CoMFA model indicates the significance of correlation of steric and electrostatic fields with the aqueous solubility. The key features in the CoMFA contour maps are critical to trace the important properties and gain insight to the solvation mechanism of tested compounds. The quality of CoMSIA model is slightly lower than that of CoMFA in terms of q2 and r2 values. Not requiring molecular superposition, CoMSIA may be faster than CoMFA in data processing.
