TLDR
It is argued that the high value of LOO q2 appears to be the necessary but not the sufficient condition for the model to have a high predictive power, which is the general property of QSAR models developed using LOO cross-validation.Abstract:
Validation is a crucial aspect of any quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling. This paper examines one of the most popular validation criteria, leave-one-out cross-validated R2 (LOO q2). Often, a high value of this statistical characteristic (q2 > 0.5) is considered as a proof of the high predictive ability of the model. In this paper, we show that this assumption is generally incorrect. In the case of 3D QSAR, the lack of the correlation between the high LOO q2 and the high predictive ability of a QSAR model has been established earlier [Pharm. Acta Helv. 70 (1995) 149; J. Chemomet. 10(1996)95; J. Med. Chem. 41 (1998) 2553]. In this paper, we use two-dimensional (2D) molecular descriptors and k nearest neighbors (kNN) QSAR method for the analysis of several datasets. No correlation between the values of q2 for the training set and predictive ability for the test set was found for any of the datasets. Thus, the high value of LOO q2 appears to be the necessary but not the sufficient condition for the model to have a high predictive power. We argue that this is the general property of QSAR models developed using LOO cross-validation. We emphasize that the external validation is the only way to establish a reliable QSAR model. We formulate a set of criteria for evaluation of predictive ability of QSAR models.read more

TL;DR: Two-dimensional atom- and bond-based TOMOCOMD-CARDD descriptors and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) are used in this report to perform a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study of tyrosinase-inhibitory activity, resulting in a novel nucleus base (lead) with antityrosinases activity.

TL;DR: Compared to cisplatin, test compounds 1-4 had remarkably good activity, despite the presence of substantial steric bulk due to Sn-Bu ligands, and the theoretical results are discussed in relation to the mechanistic role of the cytotoxic active test compounds (1-4).

Structural investigations of acridine derivatives by CoMFA and CoMSIA reveal novel insight into their structures toward DNA G-quadruplex mediated telomerase inhibition and offer a highly predictive 3D-model for substituted acridines.
TL;DR: The present study not only offers a highly significant predictive CoMSIA model for trisubstituted acridine derivatives as telomerase inhibitors but also throws more light on the molecular structure of these compounds at physiological pH.

pKa Prediction from an ab initio bond length: part 2—phenols
TL;DR: The results support the use of multiple high-correlation subsets and a single bond-length to predict pK(a), and the emphasis was placed on model simplicity and a demonstration that more accurate predictions emerge from single-bond-length models.
