Online Chemical Modeling Environment (OCHEM) was used for QSAR analysis of a set of ionic liquids (ILs) tested against multi-drug resistant (MDR) clinical isolate and strains. The predictive accuracy of regression models has coefficient of determination q = 0.66 - 0.

The synthesis of compounds produced from natural products including cytisine is one approach for the wider use of natural substances in the development of new drugs. QSAR modeling was used to predict and select of biologically active cytisine-containing 1,3-oxazoles.

BP-1,6-quinone (BP-1,6-Q) is one of the significant components of APM. However, the mechanism(s) by which it can exert its toxicity in endothelial cells is not yet completely understood.

To overcome the problem of overfitting due to descriptor selection, fivefold cross-validation with variable selection in each step of the model development was applied. The predictive ability of the classification models was tested by cross-validation, giving balanced accuracies (BA) of 76%-82%.
