title: Calculation of octanol/water partition coefficients for pesticides: a comparative study.
abstract: Abstract   On the basis of a set of 593 experimental octanol/water partition coefficients (log P) for pesticides, the simulation performances of two models using computable descriptors are compared. The back propagation neural network model designed from autocorrelation descriptors (SAR QSAR Environ. Res. (1997), 7, 151-172) compares favorably with the AFC model (J. Pharm. Sci. (1995), 84, 83-92) using atom/fragment contributions and correction factors.
