The fish-tail temperatures denoted as T* have been determined or collected for 85 ternary systems based on three tetraethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers C(i)E(4) (i = 6, 8, 10), water, and 43 hydrocarbon oils of various hydrophobicities. Fourteen fragrant mono- and sesquiterpenes in addition to 29 model oils, including n-alkanes, cyclohexenes, cyclohexanes, and alkylbenzenes, were investigated in order to establish a QSPR model for the prediction of T* as a function of the chemical structure of the oils. Only two molecular descriptors related to branching and molecular size (Kier A3) and polarizability (average negative softness) of the molecules are necessary to model and predict the values of T* and EACN (equivalent alkane carbon number) of unsaturated and/or cyclic and/or branched hydrocarbons exhibiting an EACN ranging from -4 and +35. Results are discussed in terms of evolution of the effective packing parameter of the surfactants according to temperature and oil penetration into the interfacial film.

Machine learning (ML) systems have enabled the modelling of quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPR) and structure-activity relationships (QSAR) using existing experimental data to predict target properties for new molecules. These property predictors hold significant potential in accelerating drug discovery by guiding generative artificial intelligence (AI) agents to explore desired chemical spaces. However, they often struggle to generalize due to the limited scope of the training data.

The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) has facilitated biowaivers and played a significant role in enhancing drug regulation and development efficiency. However, the productivity of measuring the key discriminative properties of BCS, solubility and permeability, still requires improvement, limiting high-throughput applications of BCS, which is essential for evaluating drug candidate developability and guiding formulation decisions in the early stages of drug development. In recent years, advancements in machine learning (ML) and molecular characterization have revealed the potential of quantitative structure-performance relationships (QSPR) for rapid and accurate BCS classification.

Skin cancer poses a significant risk to the healthcare system worldwide and is projected to increase substantially over the next two decades, particularly if not detected in its early stages. The primary aim of this study is to construct a quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) by correlating calculated entropies with topological indices and specific physical-chemical properties of pharmaceuticals, in order to enhance their usefulness. The bicubic regression model is constructed through degree-based topological entropies to perform the QSPR analysis for the prediction of physiochemical properties like polar surface area, complexity, molar refractivity, boiling point, and polarity of skin cancer drugs.
