Prediction of selectivity of alpha1-adrenergic antagonists by counterpropagation neural network (CP-ANN)

Farmaco. 2004 May;59(5):389-95. doi: 10.1016/j.farmac.2003.12.009.

Abstract

A quantitative structure-selectivity relationships of series of structurally diverse alpha1-adrenergic antagonists was performed by using counter-propagation neural network (CP-ANN). The theoretical molecular descriptors have been calculated and selected using CODESSA program. The results obtained for a highly non-congeneric set of molecules have confirmed the potential of use of CP-ANN approach in prediction of relative activity (selectivity) of alpha1-adrenergic antagonists.
