A series of ten topiramate-phenolic acid conjugates (T1-T10) were synthesized, and evaluated for their pancreatic lipase inhibitory and antioxidant potentials. The design of the compounds reflected the structural attributes extracted from robust QSAR models developed for predicting the pancreatic lipase inhibition potency. Conjugate T4 competitively inhibited pancreatic lipase with IC value of 8.

(), the second most prevalent Candida pathogen globally, has emerged as a major clinical threat due to its ability to develop high-level azole resistance. In this study, two new 5,6-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-]quinazoline derivatives ( and ) were synthesized and characterized using IR, LC-MS, H, and C NMR spectra. Along with 13 previously reported analogues, these compounds underwent in vitro antifungal testing against clinical isolates using a serial dilution method (0.

Ensuring the safety of chemicals for environmental and human health involves assessing physicochemical (PC) and toxicokinetic (TK) properties, which are crucial for absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET). Computational methods play a vital role in predicting these properties, given the current trends in reducing experimental approaches, especially those that involve animal experimentation. In the present manuscript, twelve software tools implementing Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) models were selected for the prediction of 17 relevant PC and TK properties.

Early life stage (ELS) toxicity testing in fish is a crucial test procedure used to evaluate the long-term effects of a wide range of chemicals, including pesticides, industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food additives. This test is particularly important for screening and prioritizing thousands of chemicals under the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation. In silico methods can be used to estimate the toxicity of a chemical when no experimental data is available and to reduce the cost, time, and resources involved in the experimentation process.

Inhaled chemicals can cause dysfunction in the lung surfactant, a protein-lipid complex with critical biophysical and biochemical functions. This inhibition has many structure-related and dose-dependent mechanisms, making hazard identification challenging. We developed quantitative structure-activity relationships for predicting lung surfactant inhibition using machine learning.
