The present work addresses the quantitative structure−antioxidant activity relationship in a series of 148 sulfur-containing alkylphenols, natural phenols, chromane, betulonic and betulinic acids, and 20-hydroxyecdysone using GUSAR2019 software. Statistically significant valid models were constructed to predict the parameter logk7, where k7 is the rate constant for the oxidation chain termination by the antioxidant molecule. These results can be used to search for new potentially effective antioxidants in virtual libraries and databases and adequately predict logk7 for test samples.

Six statistically significant consensus QSAR models for prediction of IC50 values were designed based on MNA- and QNA-descriptors and their combinations.

The docking of these compounds in the active site of 5-LOX suggested that seven compounds can interact with this enzyme. Two of them can also be dual inhibitors of 5-LOX and two isoforms of cyclooxygenase.
