Abstract: Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis for the toxicity of phenols to Tetrehymena pyriformis was conducted. The phenols involved exhibited toxicity via several mechanisms. Due to potential difficulties in determining mechanisms of toxic action, mechanism based QSARs were not developed. QSTR studies on a series of phenol are attempted using topological indices such as Weiner, various Balaban parameters, different Randic and connectivity indices. The regression analysis of data performed by employing the multiple linear regression (MLR) method.  Cross-validation analysis of obtained models has checked by employing the leave one out (LOO) method.


Keywords: QSAR, QSTR, Weiner index, Balaban, Connectivity and Randic parameter, MLR, LOO, Toxicity.
