Quantitative structure-property relationship study was carried out for the prediction of photolysis half-lives of dihydroindolizines. Genetic algorithm variable selection was used in the multiple linear regression modeling. Four descriptors including topological (AAC), 2D-Autocorrelations (GATS7m), 3D-MoRSE (Mor19p), and GETAWAY (HATS3p) descriptors were selected by the algorithm, revealing that a hybrid of topologic, geometric, and electronic features of the molecule affects photolysis half-life of studied photochromic compounds. The results showed that the developed model provides statistically significant predictions of photolysis half-lives of dihydroindolizines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
