Charge indexes. New topological descriptors
J. Gálvez, R. Garcia-Domenech, M.T. Salabert-Salvador, R. Soler, Charge indicies. New topological descriptors, J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci. 34 (1994) 520-525.
New topological descriptors, namely “charge indexes, are presented in this paper. Their ability for the description of the molecular charge distribution is established by correlating them with the dipole movement of a heterogeneous set to hydrocarbons, as well as with the boiling temperature of alkanes and alcohols and the vaporization enthalpy of alkanes. Moreover, it clearly demonstrated that this ability is higher than that shown by the χ connectivity and Weiner indexes.

A common assumption in chemistry is that chiral behavior is associatedwith 3-D geometry. However, chiral information is related to symmetry,which allows the topological handling of chiral atoms by weightedgraphs and the calculation of new descriptors that give a weight to thecorresponding entry in the main diagonal of the topological matrix. Inthis study, it is demonstrated that, operating in this way, chiraltopological indices are obtained that can differentiate thepharmacological activity between pairs of enantiomers. The 50%inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of the D2 dopamine receptor andthe sigma receptor for a group of 3-hydroxy phenyl piperidines arespecifically predicted. Moreover, the sedative character of a group ofchiral barbiturates can be identified.
