To evaluate whether incorporating topological chirality descriptors into 2D-QSAR models can effectively discriminate stereoisomers and match the predictive power of 3D-QSAR methods.
Applied molecular graph-derived chirality descriptors combined with conventional topological descriptors to four distinct chiral chemical datasets.
Constructed predictive models using the k-nearest neighbors (kNN) QSAR methodology.
Validated models against identical training and test splits previously evaluated in published 3D-QSAR studies.
2D-QSAR models incorporating chirality descriptors demonstrated predictive capability equal to or greater than published 3D-QSAR approaches across all four benchmark datasets.
Topological chirality descriptors successfully resolved stereoisomer differences that conventional 2D molecular connectivity indices fail to differentiate.
