This book offers a foundational introduction to Quantitative structure-activity/property relationships (QSARs/QSPRs), explaining their role in predicting biological activity and chemical properties using statistical tools. It highlights applications in medicinal, environmental, and agricultural chemistry, making it ideal for novice readers in chemistry and pharmacy.
Applications in Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences
The book covers theoretical background and methodology as well as all current applications of Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR). Written by an international group of recognized researchers, this edited volume discusses applications of QSAR in multiple disciplines such as chemistry, pharmacy, environmental and agricultural sciences addressing data gaps and modern regulatory requirements. Additionally, the applications of QSAR in food science and nanoscience have been included – two areas which have only recently been able to exploit this versatile tool. This timely addition to the series is aimed at graduate students, academics and industrial scientists interested in the latest advances and applications of QSAR.
