Abstract

The study of the quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) of liver cancer was carried out using a series of twenty-five (25) molecules derived from thioureas. The molecular descriptors were obtained after optimization of all these molecules at the B3LYP/6-31+ G (d, p) computational level. The multiple linear regression (MLR) method was used to carry out this study. The use of this method has thus made it possible to obtain a model from the molecular descriptors that are the lipophilicity LogP, the bond lengths d(C=N2) and d(N2-Cphen1), the vibration frequency υ (C =O) and the number of atoms. The results of the statistical indicators obtained from the model (R2=0.906; RMCE=0.198; F= 21.170), allow us to say that this model is acceptable, robust and has good predictive power. Also, the vibration frequency of the carbon-oxygen double bond (C=O), the length of the C-N2 bond and the lipophilicity (LogP) were found to be the priority descriptors in the prediction of the anticancer activity of the liver. Moreover, all the criteria of Tropsha et al. were verified by our model. Moreover, the analysis of the domain of applicability of this model shows that a prediction of the anticancer activity of new derivatives of thiourea is acceptable when its leverage value is less than 1.06, otherwise the anticancer activity of the liver of this compound could not be reliably predicted.
