To effectively predict the lipophilicity, the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) affinity, and TEF (Toxic equivalency factor) of dioxins by geometrical descriptors, the multiple linear regression methods with the forward selection and backward elimination were employed with statistical validity. The lipophilicity, the Ah receptor binding affinity, and the toxic equivalency factor of dioxins could be predicted using some geometrical descriptors.

The technology to predict new chemical compounds by using properties of already known compounds is a kind of data mining and an important technology in chemical industrial fields. Many knowledge have been accumulated in the fields, and especially nowadays in the field of medicine development industry, the technology is connected with the post genome technology, and generates a new conception, physiome. The word is defined as followings. It is the quantitative and integrated description of the functional behavior of the physiological state of an individual or species. The physiome describes the physiological of the normal intact organism and is built on information and structure, that is geno...

Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) were performed on 60 PPAR-g agonists. Partial Least Squars (PLS) analysis produced good predicted models with $q^2$ value of 0.62 (SDEP=0.33, F value=93.22, $r^2$=0.92) and 0.56 (SDEP=0.47 F value=27.65, $r^2$=0.86), respectivly. The key spatial properties were detected by careful analysis of the isocontour maps.

Bradykinin is an autocoid related to acute and chronic pain and inflammation. The non-peptide bradykinin antagonists are of interest as novel anti-inflammatory therapeutics. Some active compounds such as FR 173657, LF 160687, and bradyzide were reported very recently. In our search for the new bradykinin antagonists, we designed and synthesized the iminodiacetic acid derivatives having two or three amide bonds and lipophilic ring system in each molecule. Liquid phase combinatorial synthesis using the iminodiacetic acid template gave diverse individual compounds rapidly and efficiently on a 10-50 mg scale. (omitted)

The structure of 1-phenyl-2-substituted thiourea derivatives have been studied and optimized for their cytotoxic activity. The three dimensional quantitative structure activity relationship (3D-QSAR) was investigated using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA). The result suggested that electrostatic and steric factors of 2-alkylureido-1-phenyl propanol derivatives were correlated well with cytotoxic activity. (omitted)

In order to search new inhibitors against farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase), a series of 2,3-bis-benzylidenesuccinaldehyde derivatives (1-29) were synthesized and their inhibition activities ($pI_{50}$) against FPTase were measured. From based on the reported results that the inhibitory activities of dimers 2,3-bis-benzylidenesuccinaldehydes were higher than those of monomers cinnamaldehydes, 3D-QSARs on FPTase inhibitory activities of the dimers (1-29) were studied quantitatively using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) methods. The statistical qualities of the optimized CoMFA model II ($r^2{_{cv.}}$= 0.693 and $r^2{_{ncv.}}$= 0.974) was higher than those of the CoMSIA model II ($r^2{_{cv.}}$ = 0.484 and $r^2{_{ncv.}}$ = 0.928). The dependence of CoMFA models on chance correlations was evaluated with progressive scrambling analyses. And the inhibitory activity exhibited a strong correlation with steric factors of the substrate molecules. Therefore, from the results of graphical analyses on the contour maps and of predicted higher inhibitory active compounds, it is suggested that the structural distinctions and descriptors that contribute to inhibitory activities ($pI_{50}$) against FPTase will be able to applied new inhibitor design.

Antibiotic resistant microbes were isolated in catfish, trout, eel and loach aquaculture effluent. The distribution of antibiotic resistant microbes in aquaculture effluent and the disinfection efficiency of antibiotic resistant microbes by electron beam irradiation were investigated. It was shown that the multi-drug resistant bacteria were Aeromonas sp., Citrobacter sp., Bacillus sp., Marinobacter sp., Pantoea sp., Pseudomonas sp. and Enterobacter sp. in aquaculture effluent. 41.7% of total strains showed the resistance against one antibiotic agent, and 58.3% of total strains showed the resistance against more than two antibiotics. It was evidently shown that the toxicity and physicochemical properties of antibiotics can be estimated using Quantitative Structure Analysis Relationship (QSAR). Electron beam irradiation was very effective for the disinfection of antibiotic resistant bacteria from aquaculture effluent, in which the disinfection efficiency was approximately 99.9% with electron beam of 1 kGy.

LIM kinases belong to the serine/Threonine kinase family. The members of the LIM kinase (LIMK) family include LIMK 1 and 2 which are involved in the regulation of actin polymerisation and microtubule disassembly. LIMK1 was shown to be involved in cancer metastasis, while LIMK2 activation promotes cells cycle progression. Since LIMK2 plays a vital role in many disease conditions such as pulmonary hypertension, cancer and viral diseases, and till date there are not much selective inhibitors been reported, LIMK2 becomes an interesting therapeutic target among the kinases. 3D QSAR study was carried out on a series of pyrrolopyrimidines based derivatives as LIMK2 inhibitors. A reasonable CoMFA ($q^2$=0.888; ONC=3; $r^2$=0.974) with good statistical values was developed. The developed model was validated using 1000 runs of boostrapping and was found to be predictable. The results of CoMFA contour map analysis suggested that the bulky substitution at $R_4$ and $R_5$ position are highly desirable to increase the activity. Similarly, positive substitution at $R_3$ position is also required to increase the activity. It is also noted that bulky substitution at $R_1$ position must be avoided. Our results could provide valuable information to enhance the activity of the LIMK2 inhibitors and to design potent pyrrolopyrimidines derivatives.

The molecular design and holographic (H) quantitative structure-activity relationships (HQSARs) on the binding affinity constants between new 3-benzylidenemyosmine analogues and nicotin acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) of American cockroach (Periplaneta. americana L.) were studied quantitatively. The optimized HQSAR model (IV-2) for the binding affinity constants was derived from fragment distinction of hydrogene atoms in fragment size, 5${\sim}$8 bin. The statistical results of the HQSAR model (IVI-2) exhibited the best predictability and fitness for the binding affinity constants based on the cross-validated value (q$^2$=0.507) and non cross-validated value (r$^2_{nev.}$=0.944). From the graphical analyses of atomic contribution maps, it was revealed that the binding affinity constants depends upon the anabaseine ring in molecule and the most active compounds were designed by optimized HQSAR model (VI-2).
