Abstract

Electronic properties located on the atoms of a molecule such as partial atomic charges as well as electronegativity and polarizability values are encoded by an autocorrelation vector accounting for the constitution of a molecule. This encoding procedure is able to distinguish between compounds being dopamine agonists and those being benzodiazepine receptor agonists even after projection into a two-dimensional self-organizing network. The two types of compounds can still be distinguished if they are buried in a dataset of 8323 compounds of a chemical supplier catalog comprising a wide structural variety. The maps obtained by this sequence of events, calculation of empirical physicochemical effects, encoding in a topological autocorrelation vector, and projection by a self-organizing neural network, can thus be used for searching for structural similarity, and, in particular, for finding new lead structures with biological activity.
