The structural parameters were obtained and significant correlation between the C1 substitution position and some structural parameters was found. Consequently, the number of C1 substitution positions was taken as theoretical descriptors to establish two novel QSPR models for predicting lgKow and -lgSw of all PCDD congeners. The two models achieved in this work contain two variables （Na and Nβ）, of which r = 0.9312, 0.9965 and SD = 0.27, 0.12 respectively, and t values are all large. The variation inflation factors （VIF） of variables in the two models herein are both less than 5.0, suggesting high accuracy of the lgKow and -lgSw predicting models, and the results of cross-validation test also show that the two models exhibit optimum stability and good predictive power. By comparison, the correlation and predictive ability of the present work are more advantageous than those obtained using semi-empirical AM1 and GC-RI methods.展开更多

The geometrical optimization of substituted anilines has been performed at B3LYP/6-311G^＊＊ level with Gaussian98 program, and the molecular surface areas of substituted anilines were calculated using ChemOffice 2004 program. The calculated structural parameters of substituted anilines were used as theoretical descriptors and the two-parameter （molecular surface area （MA） and the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital （EaoMo）） quantitative structure-property relationship （QSPR） model of lgKow for substituted aniline with molecular structural parameters was developed by multi-linear regression method. The regression coefficient square （r^2） is 0.990 and the standard deviation SE 0.109. The model was validated by variance inflation factors （VIF） and t-test, and the results show that there exists small self-correlation between variables of the model with perfect stability. The model gives results in good qualitative agreement with experimental data. At last, the model was applied to predict lgKow values of five substituted anilines whose lgKow values have not been determined experimentally.展开更多

Based on the theoretical linear solvation energy relationship （TLSER） model, the obtained structural parameters were taken as theoretical descriptors to establish the novel quantitative structureproperty relationship （QSPR） model for predicting n-octanol/water partition coefficients （lgKow） of PCDFs. The new model of lgKow achieved in this work contains three variables： energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital （EHOMO）, the most negative atomic partial charge （q^-） and average molecular polarizability （a）, of which R^2= 0.9011 and SD = 0,17 with larger t values. In addition, the variation inflation factors （VIF） of variables in the present model are all less than 5.5, suggesting high accuracy of the lgKow model. And the results of cross-validation test （q^2 = 0.8688） and method validation also show this model exhibits optimum stability and better predictive power than semi-empirical method.

Based on the experimental data of aqueous solubility （–lgSw） and n-octanol/water partition coefficient （lgKow）, using the modified theoretical linear solvation energy relation （MTLSER） model, correlation equations that can predict –lgSw and lgKow were developed using structural parameters as theoretical descriptors. The correlation coefficients （r） of these equations are 0.9728 and 0.9967, respectively. These equations were further validated by variance inflation factors （VIF） and t-test methods and then used to predict –lgSw and lgKow values. By comparison, the correlation and predictive ability of our work are more advantageous than those calculated from valence molecular connectivity indices method and molecular topology index method.展开更多

Multi-linear regression analysis suggests that there is a reasonable correlation between the experimental activity of the derivatives against chelation activity and calculated properties such as the HOMO energies, molar refractivity, dipole moments and experimental partition coefficient. From the derived QSAR equations the 3-Methylthio-4p-Tolyle-1,2-Dithiolylium accompanying ion （CH3SO4） and 4-para-tolyl-1,2-dithiole-3-thione （2b and 2） are predicted to show the highest activity against chelation activity, while 3-Methylthio-5p-methoxy phenyl-1,2-Dithiolylium accompanying ion （I-） （3a） is predicted to be the least active in line with the experimental results.展开更多

But the molecular details of the signaling mechanism are still poorly understood. Statistically significant quantitative structure-property relationship models （r^2 〉 0.990） constructed by genetic function approximation and molecular field analysis were generated for the purpose of deriving structural requirements for lipophilicity of amino acid conjugates of jasmonic acid. The best models derived in the present study provide some valuable academic information in terms of the 2/3D-descriptors influencing the lipophilicity, which may contribute to further understanding the mechanism of exogenous application ofjasmonates in their signaling pathway and designing novel analogs of jasmonic acid as ecological pesticides.展开更多
