QSPR Modeling using Catalan Solvent and Solute Parameters

Abstract

A área de correlação quantitativa entre estrutura e propriedade (QSPR) pode beneficiar-se de descritores moleculares que representam interações intermoleculares. Catalan desenvolveu um método de escalas solvatocrômicas para solventes que pode ser explorado para esta finalidade. Neste trabalho, escalas de solvente de Catalan foram usadas como descritores moleculares para o desenvolvimento de modelos QSPR, e para o cálculo de novos descritores de soluto para uso posterior em QSPR. As escalas Catalan para o solvente e os descritores de soluto derivados foram recentemente comparados com o método de descritores de Abraham, em termos da qualidade do QSPR desenvolvido. Os parâmetros Catalan para solventes, que mostraram uma correlação modesta com os correspondentes descritores de Abraham, mostraram-se bem sucedidos para modelar temperatura de fusão, temperatura de ebulição, ponto de ignição, índice de refração, tensão superficial, densidade e parâmetro de solubilidade dos solventes, com médias geométricas dos desvios relativos (GMRD) de 7,1, 6,6, 4,9, 3,8, 9,1, 6,0 e 4,2%, respectivamente. Os descritores do soluto foram obtidos a partir das equações de regressão entre a solubilidade de um soluto em diferentes solventes com um GMRD total de 30,0%. Os descritores de soluto obtidos desta maneira superam o modelo de solvatação geral de Abraham no cálculo de solubilidade em meio aquoso de 27 solutos de várias famílias químicas. Os descritores Catalan podem ser considerados como um recurso valioso para modelagem QSPR.The field of quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) can greatly benefit from molecular descriptors that particularly represent the intermolecular interactions. Catalan has developed a set of solvatochromic scales for solvents, which could be exploited for this purpose. In this work, Catalan solvent scales were explored as molecular descriptors for the development of QSPR models, and for the calculation of new solute descriptors for further use in QSPR. Catalan solvent scales and the newly derived solute descriptors were compared with the commonly used set of Abraham descriptors in terms of the quality of the developed QSPRs. Catalan solvent parameters, which showed modest correlation with the corresponding Abraham descriptors, proved to be successful in modeling melting point, boiling point, flash point, refractive index, surface tension, density, and solubility parameter of the solvents with geometric mean relative deviations (GMRD) of 7. 1, 6.6, 4.9, 3.8, 9.1, 6.0, and 4.2%, respectively. The solute descriptors were obtained from regression equations between a solute's solubility in different solvents with an overall GMRD of 30.0%. The solute descriptors obtained in this way outperformed Abraham general solvation model in the calculation of aqueous solubility for 27 solutes of broad chemical ranges. It was concluded that Catalan descriptors can be regarded as a valuable resource for QSPR modeling.Keywords: Catalan, solvatochromic, solubility, modeling, QSPR Jouyban et al. 685 Vol. 22, No. 4, 20...

Prediction of deferiprone solubility in some non-aqueous binary solvent mixtures at various temperatures

“…From a mathematical viewpoint, it is possible to compute J i terms at one temperature, and employ these constants for solubility prediction of pharmaceutical compounds in the binary mixtures at other temperatures by using the solubility data in the mono-solvents as input values as has been shown in earlier works [14,15,[21][22][23][24][25][26]. This numerical method provided acceptable and accurate predictions however two data points are required at each temperature of interest.…”

Optimization of the extraction of antioxidants from stinging nettle leaf using response surface methodology

“…The solubility of flavonoids and phenolic compounds is heavily influenced by their physicochemical nature, the degree of polymerization, and interaction with other constituents in the plant matrix, as well as by the formation of insoluble complexes. 22,23 This makes the extraction of these compounds very challenging, since there is no uniform approach to the extraction of all flavonoids or of any specific subclass of phenolic compounds whatsoever. 24 The characterization of phenolic compounds present in stinging nettle leaf extract showed that it is rich in flavonol glycosides, and it is known that glycosylation increases the polarity of flavonoids.…”

Experimental and Computational Methods Pertaining to Drug Solubility

“…In solubility correlation almost all kinds of descriptors have been used. Around half of the models use logP as one of descriptors in modelling (Dearden, 2006 (Dearden, 2006;Katritzky et al, 2010;Jouyban et al, 2010b). Other descriptors have been used as well, and a number of mixtures of the mentioned parameters are used, too.…”
