A new quantitative structure-retention relationship model for predicting chromatographic retention time of oligonucleotides

An integrated approach is proposed to predict the chromatographic retention time of oligonucleotides based on quantitative structure-retention relationships(QSRR) models.First,the primary base sequences of oligonucleotides are translated into vectors based on scores of generalized base properties(SGBP),involving physicochemical,quantum chemical,topological,spatial structural properties,etc.;thereafter,the sequence data are transformed into a uniform matrix by auto cross covariance(ACC).ACC accounts for the ...     

Chemometric comparison of recent chromatographic and electrophoretic methods in a quantitative structure-retention and retention-activity relationship context

The retention characteristics of 21 basic pharmaceutical substances with a considerable difference in hydrophobicity (octanol-water partition coefficients, log P, between -0.026 and 6.45) are considered on an immobilized artificial membrane column, with a micellar liquid chromatography and a micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography method. Utilising principal component analysis (PCA), it is seen that although the main retention principle is the same, the above methods as well as more classical RP-HPLC methods vary in secondary retention mechanisms. Combining the results of different methods a differentiation of the substances into their pharmacological families can be seen with PCA. The high correlations of the retention characteristics with log P and a biological parameter seem little affected by the method used.     

Effect of ionization and the nature of the mobile phase in quantitative structure-retention relationship studies

The octanol-water distribution constant, commonly called partition coefficient, Po/w, is a parameter often retained as a measure of the hydrophobicity of a molecule. log Po/w, for a given molecule, can be conveniently evaluated constructing correlation lines between standard retention factor logarithms (log k) in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) and standard log Po/w values. Many compounds of pharmaceutical interest can be quite hydrophobic and have, simultaneously, basic nitrogen atoms or acidic sulfur containing groups in their structure. This renders them ionizable. The hydrophobicity of the molecular drug form (Po/w value) is completely different from its ionic form (log Po/w(+ or -) value). The actual hydrophobicity of such ionizable molecule depends on the pH. It can be represented by an apparent Papp value that takes into account the amount of compound in its molecular and ionic state combining the Po/w and Po/w(+ or -) values. In this work, log k in RPLC for ionizable as well as non-ionizable pharmaceutical compounds with different therapeutic properties (10 beta-blockers, seven tricyclic antidepressants (TA), eight steroids and 12 sulfonamides) were correlated with log Po/w. Similar correlations were done between log k and the corrected log Papp values at pH 3. Aqueous-organic mobile phases containing acetonitrile (conventional RPLC) and micellar-organic mobile phases (micellar liquid chromatography, MLC), prepared with the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate and the organic solvents acetonitrile, propanol or pentanol, were also used to elute the compounds. All mobile phases were buffered at pH 3. Using conventional retention RPLC data, the correlation of log k with log Po/w, was satisfactory for steroids because they cannot ionize. For ionizable beta-blockers and TAs, the use of log Papp values improved the quality of the correlations, but yielded similar results for sulfonamides. In MLC, since an electrostatic interaction is added to hydrophobic forces, poorer correlations were obtained in all cases. The retention data obtained in RPLC also seems to correlate better with the biological activity of the drugs.

A robust boosting regression tree with applications in quantitative structure-activity relationship studies of organic compounds

A regression tree (RT) was extensively utilized in quantitative structure-activity relationship studies (QSAR), due to its inherently promising attributes. The issues of instability and inclination to overfitting and suboptima, however, often occur in RT. In the present study, a robust version of boosting was invoked to simultaneously improve the stability and generalization ability of RT, forming a new method called robust boosting regression tree (RBRT). RBRT works by sequentially employing the RT method to model the robustly reweighted versions of the original training set and then aggregating these resultant predictors via weighted median. The designed RBRT was applied to predict the bioactivities of flavoniod derivatives and the anti-HIV activities of HIV-1 inhibitors, compared with boosting RT (BRT) and RT. The results of these two data sets demonstrated that the introduction of robust boosting drastically enhances the stability and generalization ability of RT, and RBRT is superior to BRT in QSAR studies.     

The role of electric interactions in the retention index concept; Implications in quantitative structure-retention studies
