Objectives For successful adoption of legislation controlling registration and assessment of chemical substances, it is important to obtain sufficient toxicological experimental evidence and other related information. It is also essential to obtain a sufficient number of predicted risk and toxicity results. Particularly, methods used in predicting toxicities of chemical substances during acquisition of required data, ultimately become an economic method for future dealings with new substances. Although the need for such methods is gradually increasing, the-required information about reliability and applicability range has not been systematically provided. Methods There are various representative environmental and human toxicity models based on quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR). Here, we secured the 10 representative QSAR-based prediction models and its information that can make predictions about substances that are expected to be regulated. We used models that predict and confirm usability of the information expected to be collected and submitted according to the legislation. After collecting and evaluating each predictive model and relevant data, we prepared methods quantifying the scientific validity and reliability, which are essential conditions for using predictive models. Results We calculated predicted values for the models. Furthermore, we deduced and compared adequacies of the models using the Alternative non-testing method assessed for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals Substances scoring system, and deduced the applicability domains for each model. Additionally, we calculated and compared inclusion rates of substances expected to be regulated, to confirm the applicability. Conclusions We evaluated and compared the data, adequacy, and applicability of our selected QSAR-based toxicity prediction models, and included them in a database. Based on this data, we aimed to construct a system that can be used with predicted toxicity results. Furthermore, by presenting the suitability of individual predicted results, we aimed to provide a foundation that could be used in actual assessments and regulations.

The three dimensional-quantitative structure activity relationship (3D-QSAR) studies on chemical features of pyridine-2-amines in the external region of c-Met active site (ER chemical features of pyridine-2-amines) were conducted by docking, comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA), and topomer CoMFA methods. The CoMFA model obtained the partial least-squares (PLS) statistical results, cross-validated correlation coefficient ($q^2$) of 0.703, non cross-validated correlation coefficient ($r^2$) of 0.947 with standard error of estimate (SEE) of 0.23 and the topomer CoMFA obtained $q^2$ of 0.803, $r^2$ of 0.940, and SEE of 0.24. Further, the test set was applied to validate predictive abilities of models, where the predictive $r^2$ ($r{^2}_{pred}$) for CoMFA and topomer CoMFA models were 0.746 and 0.608, respectively. Each contribution of ER chemical features of pyridine-2-amines to the inhibitory potency showed correlation coefficients, $r^2$ of 0.670 and 0.913 for two core parts, 3-(benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)pyridine-2-amine and 3-(1-(2,6-dichloro-3-fluorophenyl)ethoxy) pyridine-2-amine, respectively, with corresponding experimental $pIC_{50}$.

This study aims to assess the ecological risk of the hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) emitted in the semiconductor manufacturing processes in Korea by using Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR, EPA, US, EPI $Suite^{TM}$ 4.1). Owing to the absence of environmental standards of hazardous air pollutants in the semiconductor manufacturing processes in Korea, 18 HAPs in the semiconductor field included in both the US EPA NESHAPs and the hazardous air pollutant list of Ministry of Environment in Korea were selected. As a results 8 chemicals (44.4%) of the selected 18 HAPs were VOCs. Cyanides (cyanides) and ethylene oxides (epoxy resins), and tetrachloro-ethylene (aliphatic compounds, halides) showed long half-lives. Cyanide HAPs especially had the highest half-life with the estimated value of 356.533 days. Nickel compounds (heavy metal compounds) possessed the highest water solubility followed by acetaldehyde (aldehyde compounds), ethylene oxides, and 1,4-dioxanes. The halides, including tetrachloro-ethylenes, carbon tetra-chlorides, benzene (aromatic compounds), and lead (heavy metals), are estimated to take the longest time for biodegradation. Tetrachloroethylene, with the acute toxicity end point of 3.685-7.033 mg/L, was assessed to be the most highly toxic substance among the 18 HAPs. However, considering the absence of the HAPs in the common category of log $K_{ow}{\geq}4$and $BCF{\geq}500$, which indicates the standard of bioconcentration potentials, potentials of the bioconcentration are considered to be low.

Objectives : For the purpose of developing new anti-HIV agents from natural sources, the extracts of Actinidia arguta were tested for their inhibitory effects on essential enzymes as the reverse transcriptase (RT), protease and ${\alpha}-\;glucosidase$. And we predicted inhibition activity of major compounds of Actinidia arguta using Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR). Methods : In this assay the activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase is measured as the formation of a strand of copy-DNA (cDNA) using RNA as a template. The activity of HIV-1 protease is measured as the cleavage of an oligopeptide by HIV-1 protease. Results : In the anti-HIV-1 RT using Enzyme Linked Oligonucleotide Sorbent Assay (ELOSA) method, water extracts (100ug/ml) of stem and leaf showed strong activity of 93.9% and 91.9%, respectively. In the HIV-1 protease inhibition assay, aqueous stem extract inhibited the activity of the enzyme to cleave an oligopeptide, resembling one of the cleavage sites in the viral polyprotein which can only be processed by HIV-1 protease with 56.8%. In the ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibition assay, aqueous stem extract showed activity of 73.1%. Conclusion : We found out this result, for these samples it is possible that the inhibition of the viral replication in vitro is due to the inhibition at least one of RT and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$. It would be of great interest to identify the compounds which are responsible for this inhibition, since all therapeutically useful agent up to date are RT, PR and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitors.

Benzotriazole is an important synthetic auxiliary for potential clinical applications. A series of benzotriazoles as potential antiproliferative agents by inhibiting histone deacetylase (HDAC) were recently reported. Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR), including comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA), were performed to elucidate the 3D structural features required for the antiproliferative activity. The results of both ligand-based CoMFA model ($q^2=0.647$, $r^2=0.968$, ${r^2}_{pred}=0.687$) and CoMSIA model ($q^2=0.685$, $r^2=0.928$, ${r^2}_{pred}=0.555$) demonstrated the highly statistical significance and good predictive ability. The results generated from CoMFA and CoMSIA provided important information about the structural characteristics influence inhibitory potency. In addition, docking analysis was applied to clarify the binding modes between the ligands and the receptor HDAC. The information obtained from this study could provide some instructions for the further development of potent antiproliferative agents and HDAC inhibitors.

14종의 새로 합성된 1-(phenxymethyl)benzotriazole(I)(Y=0)과 1-(thiophenoxymethyl)benzotriazole (II)(Y=S) 및 1-(azidomethy) benzotriazole(III) 유도체의 구조와 in vitro에서 Pyricularia oryzae, Fusarium axysporum f.sp.sesami, Valsa ceratosperma 및 Botrytis cinerea에 대한 균사 생장을 50% 저해하는 활성($pI_{50}$)사이의 구조-항균활성 상관관계들을 QSAR방법으로 연구하였다. (I)의 항균활성은 (II)와 (III)보다 우세하였으며 phenoxy group(I)의 치환기 효과는 수소 결합성 (HB)과 포물선 관계의 electronic effect($\sigma$), steric effect($B_1$)그리고 hydrophobic effect($\pi$)로 설명된다. P. oryzae와 F. axysporum f.sp.sesami의 항균 활성에 대한 치환기의 적정값은 $B_1$=1.40A, (H)와 $\sigma=0.07{\sim}0.15$, (H)이고 V. ceratosperma와 B. cinerea에 대하여는 각 각 $\sigma=0.23{\sim}0.28$, (C1)과 $\pi=0.70$, (C1)이었으며 가장 호과적인 화합물인 ( I a)와 ( I d)의 구조-활성관계가 검토되었다.

기질 화합물로써 3${\beta}$-Hydroxy-12-oleanen-28-oic acid 유도체(1-30)들과 그들의 protein tyrosine phosphatase(PTP)-1B 저해활성에 관한 비교분자 유사성 지수분석(CoMSIA)보델을 유도하였다. QSAR 모델의 통계 값은 CoMFA>CoMSIA${\geq}$HQSAR>2D-QSAR 모델의 순서로 양호하였다. 최적화된 CoMSIA F1 모델은 grid 3.0${\AA}$과 field fit 정렬조건에서 가장 족은 예측성과 상관성($r^2_{cf}$=0.754 및 $r^2_{ncv}$=0.976)을 나타내었다. 저해 활성에 관한 CoMSIA상의 기여비율(%)은 수소결합 받게장(48.9%), 입체장(25.8%) 및 소수성장(25.4%)의 순서이었다. 그러므로 기질 화합물의 PTP-1B에 대한 저해활성은 $R_4$-치환기의 수소결합 받게 장(A)에 의존적이었다. 등고도 분석 결과로부터 $R_1$-치환기는 수소결합 받게장이 작고 $R_3$-치환기는 입체장이 작으며 그리고 $R_4$-치환기는 수소결합 받게장, 소수성 및 입체장이 큰 치환기가 저해활성을 증가시킬 것으로 예측되었다.

기질 분자로서 6-bromobenzo-[4,5]imidazo[$1,2{\alpha}$]pyridin-8,9-diones 유도체의 photosystem II의 저해활성에 관한 3차원적인 정량적 구조와 활성과의 관계(3D-QSARs)들을 비교 분자장분석(CoMFA)과 비교분자 유사성 지수분석(CoMSIA) 방법으로 각각 검토하였다. CoMFA 모델은 CoMSIA 모델보다 높은 예측성과 상관성을 갖는 모델이었다. 또한 최적화된 CoMFA 2 모델의 기여도는 입체장(90.4%)에 가장 의존적이었다. CoMFA 등고도 분석으로부터, 치환기(R)로서 모체로 연결되는 탄소원자(ipso carbon)에 곁가지를 가진 치환체가 도입될수록 저해활성이 증가할 것으로 보인다. 또한, imidazol 고리와 pyridine 고리 사이의 위치에 양하전을 가질수록 활성이 높을 것으로 예상되며 친수성을 띄는 선 형태의 치환기가 도입되는 경우에 활성이 개선될 것으로 판단되었다.

돼지 페르몬성 냄새 물질을 탐색하기 위하여 tetrahydrofuran-2-yl 계 화합물들과 관측된 결합 친화력상수(Obs.p$[Od]_{50}$) 사이의 정량적인 구조-활성관계(QSAR)로부터 4개 형태의 모델(2D-QSAR, HQSR, CoMFA 및 CoMSIA)들이 유도되었다. Ligand based approache로부터 최적화된 CoMFA 모델(예측성; $r^{2}_{cv.}(q^2)$=0.886 및 상관성: $r^{2}_{ncv.}$=0.984)이 가장 좋은 모델이었다. CoMFA 모델로부터 돼지 페르몬성 냄새 물질로 예측된 $N^{1}$-allyl-$N^{2}$-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methyl) oxalamide (P1), 2- (4-trimethylammoniummethylcyclohexyloxy)tetrahydrofurane (P5) 및 2- (3-trimethylammonium-methylcyclohexyloxy)tetrahydrofurane (P6) 분자들은 비교적 높은 결합 친화력 상수값(Pred.p$[Od]_{50}=8{\sim}10$)과 몇 가지 독성에 대하여 낮은 독성간을 나타내었다.
