Abstract
A comparative study of genetic function approximation (GFA) and multiple
linear regression analysis(MLR) techniques for understanding 2D quantitative
structure-activity relationship (2D-QSAR) on N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)
inhibitors was conducted using distance and connectivity based topological
indices (Wiener, Balaban and Randic Indices). Models generated were used to
predict the inhibitory activity for a set of test compounds. The results
indicated that the GFA method proved to be superior of the two in developing 2D
QSAR model in all the cases (Uni- as well as multi-variate). Individual
topological indices have also been studied to understand their correlation
potential. In all the cases (Wiener, Balaban and Randic), the results gave a
high value of correlation (R2 > 0.80, Q2 > 0.79) for the
GFA method while the MLR method yielded poor correlation (R2 < 0.60
and Q2 < 0.55). Among the three indices, Randic connectivity index
proved to be the best in describing the 2D-QSAR for this series of NMDA
inhibitors (R2 = 0.893, Q2 = 0.880, F-ratio = 216.393)
