QSAR studies on biological activity of piritrexim analogues against pc DHFR Original Research Article

Quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) studies for 2,6-substituted 2,4-diaminopyrido[3,2-d] pyrimidine analogues of piritrexim (PTX) as inhibitors of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) are now made using topological indices. The results have shown that best models are obtained by multiparametric analysis. The predictive potential of the model is discussed on the basis of a cross-validation method.
