Aromatic hydrocarbons,one of the persistent organic pollutants(POPs),has been usually found in mussels,accumulated for their hard mobility and activities in harbours and estuaries.In this study,based on the 96 hr-LC50 of 12 aromatic hydrocarbons with larval sinonvaculina constricta,three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship(3D-QSAR) technique:comparative molecular similarity indices analysis(CoMSIA) and 2D-QSAR technique:multiple linear regression(MLR) were described to obtain more detailed insight into the structure-activity relationships between the molecular structure and bio-activity.The results show the MLR model based on density functional theory(DFT) calculation carried out at the B3LYP/6-311** level with Gaussian 03 program yielded a very good correlation with a coefficient squared R2 of 0.716 and a cross-validated Q2 of 0.874.The dipole moment and enthalpy,as the thermodynamic parameters,were two important factors influencing pLC50.Correspondingly,CoMSIA based on the partial least-squares(PLS) methodology with steric,electrostatic,hydrophobic,H-bond donor and acceptor fields contributing simultaneously were employed and the values of R2 and the cross validation with leave-One-Out(LOO) Q2LOO were 0.585 and 0.990,respectively,which reveals the structure features,such as the electronegative substituent(nitro-group),hydrophobic groups(the benzene ring) and H-bond(nitro-group),related to the toxicity.The results of 2D-QSAR employing MLR model and 3D-QSAR employing CoMSIA model provide the useful information for predicting the toxicity of other aromatic hydrocarbons by comparing the molecular structures of similar compounds.
芳烃化合物正随着工业的快速发展和溢油事故的频繁发生影响着海洋生态系统的健康,提高定量构效关系(QSAR)模型预测未知芳烃化合物毒性的能力是做好芳烃化合物安全防范措施的任务之一。为建立芳烃化合物物化性质与小球藻抑制活性间的QSAR模型,以实验获取的21种芳烃化合物对小球藻96 h的抑制活性数据为基础,采用密度泛函理论(DFT)中的B3LYP方法,在6-311G^(**)基组上全优化计算21种芳烃化合物结构参数,运用SPSS 12.0 for Windows程序,将这些结构参数作为理论描述符,逐步回归得到芳烃化合物对藻类抑制活性的QSAR模型。该模型相关系数R^2为0.925,交叉验证相关系数q^2为0.898,说明所建模型具有良好的预测能力和较强的稳定性;所建模型包含2个参数(分子体积和最正氢电荷),其中分子体积显著影响了该类化合物对小球藻的抑制活性。
