PREDICTION OF PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND ANTICANCER ACTIVITY OF SIMILAR STRUCTURES OF FLAVONES AND ISOFLAVONES

The reliability of Quantitative Structure – Activity or Property Relationships for prediction of physico-chemical properties and anticancer activity of flavone and isoflavone derivatives was improved by using the quantitative relationships between structurally similar flavone and isoflavone structures (QSSRs). The targeted-compound method was developed by a training set, which contains only similar compounds structurally to target compound. The structural similarity is presented by multidimensional correlation between the dimensions of atomic-charge descriptors of target compound and those of predictive compounds with R 2 fitness = 0.9999 and R 2 test = 0.9999. The available physicochemical properties and anticancer activities of predictive substances in training set were used in the usual manner for predicting the unknown physicochemical properties and anticancer activity of target substances. Preliminary results show that the targeted - compound method yields the predictive results within the uncertain extent of experimental measurements.
