Key Words: a priori molecular descriptors, partial least squares, exploratory analysis
A priori molecular descriptors of sixteen b-lactams (substrates of AcrAB-TolC efflux pump) were used in partial least squares regression models (Q > 0.90, R > 0.95, SEV < 0.50) to predict their efflux rates. Exploratory analysis showed four dimensional character of the data set, related to molecular and side chain hydrophobicity/hydrogen bonding potency and molecular amphiphilicity (mosaic character expressed in terms of hydrophobicity/polar domains).
