GRAPHIC ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION1-4
QSARs, or quantitative structure–property relationships (QSPRs), are numerical models that attempt to connect the structure-derived features of a compound to its natural or hysicochemical activity. In the same way, quantitative structure–toxicity relationship (QSTR) or quantitative structure–pharmacokinetic relationship (QSPkR) is used when the modeling applies upon toxicological or pharmacokinetic systems.
SHORT HISTORY OF QSAR5-9
QSAR has its roots in the field of toxicology where by Cros in 1863 proposed a relationship which usually existed involving the toxicity of primary aliphatic alcohols using their water solubility (Cros, 1863). Likewise, Crum-Brown and Fraser (Crum- Brownish and Fraser, 1868-1869) postulated the entrave between chemical substance constitution and physiological actions in their groundbreaking investigation in 1868 as follows: Shortly after, Richet (1893), Meyer (1899), and Overton (1901) separately uncovered a geradlinig correlation among lipophilicity (e. g. oil-water partition coefficients) and biological effects (e. g. narcotic effects and toxicity). By simply 1935, Hammett (1935, 1937) introduced a means to account for substituent effects on reaction
mechanisms through the use of a great equation which in turn took two parameters into mind
namely the (i) substituent constant plus the (ii) response constant. Matching the Hammett’s model, Taft proposed in 1956 a technique for separating polar, steric, and resonance effects of substituents in aliphatic compounds (Taft, 1956). The contributions from Hammett and Taft set forth the mechanistic basis pertaining to QSAR/QSPR creation by Hansch and Fujita (1964) in their seminal development of the geradlinig Hansch formula which built-in hydrophobic guidelines with Hammett’s electronic constants. An informative account within the development of
QSAR/QSPR can be found in the superb book by Hansch and Leo (1995).
