Description
Summary:A 3D-QSAR study based on DFT descriptors and machine learning calculations is presented in this work. Our goal has been to build predictive models for classifying the carcinogenic activity of a set of aromatic amines (AA) and nitroaromatic (NA) compounds. As the main result, we stress that calculations must consider both the activated metabolites (derived from AA and NA species) and the water solvent to obtain reliable predictive classification models. We have obtained eight decision tree models that presented an accuracy of over 90% by using either Gázquez-Vela chemical potential (μ+) or the chemical hardness (η) of the activated metabolites in aqueous solvent. •Activated metabolites and solvent information is needed for predicting carcinogenic activity of nitro and aromatic amines.•Our models predicts carcinogenic activity with over 90% accuracy accordingly with high Cohen's kappa statistic values•For activated metabolites in the aqueous solvent phase, the electron-accepting chemical potential and hardness are essential.
