Abstract
A diverse training set composed of 76 in-house synthesized and 61 collected from the literature was subjected to molecular field topology analysis. This resulted in a high-quality quantitative structure-activity relationships model (R-2 = 0.932, Q(2) = 0.809) which was used for the topological functional core identification and prediction of vasodilatory activity of 19 novel pyridinecarbonitriles, which turned out to be active in experimental bioassay.
