Quantitative-Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR)
Quantitative Structure Property/Activity Relationship is the process by which chemical
structure is quantitatively correlated with a well defined process, such as chemical
property/biological activity.
 Descriptors calculation
 Data compression
 Model construction and validation
MLR, PLS, PCR
KPLS, ANN, GA-ANN, ANFIS
CART, SVM, MARS

Drug Discovery Process
Time and Money
50,000 - 5,000,000 compounds are
often screened to find a single drug
>1,000 “hits”
12 “leads”
6 drug candidates
Discovery & Preclinical trials
Clinical trials: Phase I, Phase II, Phase III
12 to 24 years
$300 to >$500 million
1 drug

Is there a future for Chemometrics?
Editorial, Chemom. Intell. Lab. Syst., 91 (2008) 99-100
 Most of the pioneers of Chemometrics have retired or have passed away
 All of the original goals of Chemometrics have been reached
 Chemometrics is in danger of being absorbed by *omics
 Lack of interest in the physical sciences for the last decade
8th Iranian workshop of Chemometrics
7-9 February 2009
What can we do to increase the popularity of
Chemometrics?
 Explain the past of the Chemometrics and its achievement to newcomers
 Reevaluate the Chemometrics curriculum
These could be done in the format of sort introductions,
holding workshops and brainstorming sessions
