description

Abstract The aim of the work was to discriminate between antibacterial and non-antibacterial drugs by topological methods and to select new potential antibacterial agents from among new structures. The method used for antibacterial activity selection was a linear discriminant analysis (LDA). It is possible to obtain a QSAR interpretation of the information contained in the discriminant function. We make use of the pharmacological distribution diagrams (PDDs) as a visualizing technique for the identification and selection of new antibacterial agents.
