Abstract
Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR)
has been developed for a set of inhibitors of the human
immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase,
derivatives of
1-(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl-6-(phenylthio)thymine
(HEPT). Structural descriptors used in this study are
Hansch constants for each substituent and topological
descriptors. We have applied the variable selection
method based on multi-objective genetic programming
(GP) to the HEPT data and constructed the nonlinear
QSAR model using counter-propagation (CP) neural
network with the selected variables. The obtained
network is accurate and interpretable. Moreover in
order to confirm a predictive ability of the model, a
validation test was performed.
