Principal component analysis （PCA） and hierarchical cluster analysis （HCA） were employed in order to reduce dimensionality and investigate which subset of variables should be more effective for classifying fluoroquinolones according to their an-B.fragilis activity degree. The PCA shows that the variables of ELUMO, AEHL, μ, Q2, Q3, Q5, Q6, QB, LogP, MR and MP are responsible for the separation between compounds with higher and lower anti-B.fragilis activities. The HCA results are similar to those obtained with PCA. By using the chemometric results, 4 synthetic compounds were analyzed through PCA and HCA, and 2 of them are proposed as active molecules against B.fragilis, which is consistent with the results of clinic experiments. The methodologies of PCA and HCA provide a reliable rule for classifying new fluoroquinolones with anti-B.fragilis activity.展开更多

Principal component analysis （PCA） and hierarchical cluster analysis （HCA） were employed in order to reduce dimensionality and investigate which subset of variables should be more effective for classifying TIBO derivatives according to their degree of anti-HIV activity. The PCA showed that the EHOMO, μ, LogP, QA, QB and MR variables are responsible for the separation between compounds with higher and lower anti-HIV activity. The HCA results are similar to those obtained with PCA. By using the chemometric results, four synthetic compounds were analyzed through PCA and HCA and three of them are proposed as active molecules against HIV, which is consistent with the results of clinic experiments. The methodologies of PCA and HCA provide a reliable rule for classifying new TIBO derivatives with anti-HIV activity. The model obtained showed not only statistical significance but also predictive ability.展开更多
