title: Use of molecular topology for the prediction of physico-chemical, pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties of a group of antihistaminic drugs.
abstract: We used molecular connectivity to search mathematical models for predicting physico-chemical (e.g. the partition coefficient, P), pharmacokinetic (e.g. the time of maximum plasma level, and toxicological properties (lethal dose, LD) for a group of antihistaminic drugs. The results obtained clearly reveal the high efficiency of molecular topology for the prediction of these properties. Randomization and cross-validation by use of leave-one-out tests were also performed in order to assess the stability and the prediction ability of the connectivity functions selected.
