Abstract

An overview on the development of QSPR/QSAR equations using various descriptor-mining techniques and multilinear regression analysis in the framework of the CODESSA (Comprehensive Descriptors for Structural and Statistical Analysis) program is given. The description of the methodologies applied in CODESSA is followed by the presentation of the QSAR and QSPR models derived for eighteen molecular activities and properties. The properties cover single molecular species, interactions between different molecular species, properties of surfactants, complex properties and properties of polymers. A review with 54 references.

Keywords: Molecular descriptors; QSPR; QSAR; Property or activity prediction.
