The Application of Classical QSAR to Agrochemical Research
Toshio Fujita · International Journal of Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships · 2016
Since the first paper for the QSAR procedure was published in 1962, a number of agrochemical QSAR studies have been accumulated. Among them, some studies were to construct models to design new compounds of the improved activity profiles. Others were to search for a clue for molecular mechanisms of action and/or physicochemical backgrounds for some “compulsory or favorable” substructures and substituents within the compound series. In this article, some examples of studies from these two categories are reviewed.
