title: Comparative QSAR modelling of 2-phenylindole-3-carbaldehyde derivatives as potential antimitotic agents.
abstract: QSAR modelling was done on some 2-phenylindole-3-carbaldehyde derivatives to find out structural requirements for more active antimitotic agents. Four statistical methods were used to develop models. The results show the importance of ETSA indices, RTSA indices, IC1, SIC4, Jhetv and MSD on the activity. Electrostatic potential charges of atoms, increased surface area, and presence of bulky group along Y-axis and chlorine substitution were also found to be important.
