Q-RASAR

From HandWiki

The quantitative Read-Across Structure-Activity Relationship (q-RASAR) concept has been developed by merging Read-Across and QSAR. It is a statistical modeling approach that uses the similarity and error-based measures as descriptors in addition to the usual structural and physicochemical descriptors, and it has been shown to enhance the external predictivity of QSAR/QSPR models.[1]

The novel quantitative read-across structure-activity relationship (q-RASAR) approach clubs the advantages of both QSAR and read-across, thus resulting in enhanced predictivity for the same level of chemical information used. This approach utilizes similarity-based considerations yet can generate simple, interpretable, and transferable models. This approach may be used for any type of structural and physicochemical descriptors and with any modeling algorithms.

The q-RASAR approach has been used by different research groups for different endpoints.[2][3][4][5] Among different RASAR descriptors, RA function, Average Similarity and gm (Banerjee-Roy concordance coefficient) have shown high importance in modeling in some studies.[5] In 2023, Banerjee-Roy similarity coefficients sm1 and sm2 have also been proposed to identify potential activity cliffs in a data set.[6] The q-RASAR approach has the potential in data gap filling in predictive toxicology, materials science, medicinal chemistry, food sciences, nano-sciences, agricultural sciences, etc.
