Using molecular quantum similarity measures as descriptors in quantitative structure-toxicity relationships.

In this paper molecular quantum similarity measures (MQSM) are used to describe molecular toxicity and to construct Quantitative Structure-Toxicity Relationships (QSTR) models. This study continues the recently described relationships between MQSM and log P values, which permits to use the theoretical MQSM as an alternative to the empirical hydrophobic parameter in QSPR studies. In addition a new type of MQSM is presented in this work: it is based on the expectation value of electron-electron repulsion energy. The molecular properties studied here, as application examples are aquatic toxicity, toxicology on Bacteria and inhibition of a macromolecule employing four different molecular sets.
