Preferred Label : quantitative structure–activity relationship;
Detailed label : quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) in drug design;
IUPAC acronym : QSAR; SPC;
IUPAC definition : Quantitative structure–activity relationships (QSAR) are mathematical relationships
linking chemical structure and pharmacological activity in a quantitative manner for
a series of compounds. Methods which can be used in QSAR include various regression
and pattern recognition techniques. br/ QSAR is often taken to be equivalent to chemometrics
or multivariate statistical data analysis. It is sometimes used in a more limited
sense as equivalent to Hansch analysis. QSAR is a subset of the more general term
SPC.;
