Abstract
Heart transplantation is a life-saving transplantation procedure for individuals with advanced heart failure who have gone through all other medicinal options. It is predicted that 5000 heart transplants will be performed annually worldwide. The immunosuppressive drugs are used after a heart transplant to prevent organ rejection. They may be administered both before and throughout the transplant process under specific circumstances. Quantitative Structure-Activity or Property Relationship using topological descriptors is essential in drug design since it allows one to anticipate the physicochemical characteristics of medications based on their molecular structure. This study investigates the neighborhood topological descriptors of immunosuppressive medications used to treat heart transplant patients. The highest predictive efficacy of the pharmaceuticals is demonstrated by the good association between the topological indicators and the physical characteristics of the transplant medications. Additionally, this data may be used by researchers to develop new and effective medications for recipients of heart transplants.
期刊介绍:
Computational Biology and Chemistry publishes original research papers and review articles in all areas of computational life sciences. High quality research contributions with a major computational component in the areas of nucleic acid and protein sequence research, molecular evolution, molecular genetics (functional genomics and proteomics), theory and practice of either biology-specific or chemical-biology-specific modeling, and structural biology of nucleic acids and proteins are particularly welcome. Exceptionally high quality research work in bioinformatics, systems biology, ecology, computational pharmacology, metabolism, biomedical engineering, epidemiology, and statistical genetics will also be considered.
Given their inherent uncertainty, protein modeling and molecular docking studies should be thoroughly validated. In the absence of experimental results for validation, the use of molecular dynamics simulations along with detailed free energy calculations, for example, should be used as complementary techniques to support the major conclusions. Submissions of premature modeling exercises without additional biological insights will not be considered.
Review articles will generally be commissioned by the editors and should not be submitted to the journal without explicit invitation. However prospective authors are welcome to send a brief (one to three pages) synopsis, which will be evaluated by the editors.
