EVA/PLS versus autocorrelation/neural network estimation of partition coefficients

  • Published:
Perspectives in Drug Discovery and Design

Abstract

The performances of a log P model designed from EVA descriptors based on theoretically derived normal coordinate frequencies and using the classical PLS analysis as statistical engine were compared to those provided by a neural network model employing various autocorrelation vectors for describing the molecules. The superiority of the latter is clearly demonstrated for simulating the lipophilicity of simple chemical structures.
