The reliability of these approaches is influenced by the quality of the physicochemical descriptors used to characterize the chemical entities. In this context, a pivotal role is exerted by lipophilicity, which is a major contribution to host-guest interaction and ligand binding affinity. Several approaches have been undertaken to account for the descriptive and predictive capabilities of lipophilicity in 3D-QSAR modeling. Recent efforts encode the use of quantum mechanical-based descriptors derived from continuum solvation models, which open novel avenues for gaining insight into structure-activity relationships studies.17 p.application/pdfeng(c) Future Science, 2019LipofíliaSolvatacióDisseny de medicamentsLligands (Bioquímica)Relacions estructura-activitat (Bioquímica)LipophilicitySolvationDrug designLigands (Biochemistry)Structure-activity relationships (Biochemistry)info:eu-repo/semantics/article6874042020-06-16info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
