Abstract

The main challenges faced by medical researchers while producing novel drugs are time commitment, amplified costs, creating a safety profile for the medications, reduced solubility, and a lack of experimental data. Chemical graph theory makes an important theoretical contribution to drug development and design by investigating the structural properties of molecules. To improve drug research and assess the effectiveness of treatments, topological indices aim to provide a mathematical representation of molecular structures. In this study, the author examined a number of recently used drugs, including tamoxifen, mesterolone, anastrozole, and letrozole which are used to treat infertility. We compute the topological descriptors with the limiting behaviors associated with these pharmaceutical drugs and offer degree-based topological parameters for them. We conducted a QSPR investigation on the prospective degree-based topological descriptors using quadratic, cubic, exponential, and logarithmic regression models.

1. Introduction

According to consensus among the majority of specialists, infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after actively trying for at least a year. Infertility is a reproductive system disorder that prevents an individual from getting pregnant. Children play a key role in enabling their parents to contribute to the survival of the family, the culture, and the community. Most communities, especially in emerging nations, are designed with the expectation that younger generations will care for and support older family members in the future [1]. The availability of infertility cures is a component of Millennium Development Goal number 5, and infertility has been acknowledged by the WHO as a public health issue [2]. Worldwide, approximately eighty million people suffer from impaired fertility, with prevalence rates ranging from less than five percent to over thirty percent. By 2025, 7.7 million more people are anticipated to experience infertility, despite advancements in reproductive technologies [3]. Male infertility is most frequently caused by abnormalities in the sperm shape, motility, or quantity (low sperm count) of sperm. The majority of cases of infertility in people with ovaries are brought on by ovulation abnormalities, where ovulation is the process during which ovary releases an egg, getting it ready for potential fertilization by sperm. Approximately, 10–15% of couples in the reproductive age group face infertility, which differs from other health-related conditions as it also involves psychological and social factors. Approximately, 40–45% of cases of infertility are caused by men, either alone or in conjunction with their female spouses [4]. The rising interest in reproductive treatments has led to increased awareness and motivation for research regarding the psychological effects of infertility. The connection between mental illness and infertility has been taken into account. In addition, studies have examined the psychological impacts of infertility itself along with chronic exposure to intrusive infertility therapies on mental health. Developing new pharmaceuticals is costly, time-consuming, and perplexing in this area. In addition, it requires quick diagnosis and treatment to address the condition. Among the ten selected medications that are essential for the community's health, safe, and highly effective, the medications include mesterolone, anastrozole, letrozole, tamoxifen, clomifene, progesterone, cabergoline, bromocriptine, goserelin, and estradiol. Figure 1 depicts the aforementioned medications.

TIs (topological indices) are distinct numerical descriptors derived from graphs that represent a chemical structure perfectly. These are effectively used to describe the physical characteristics of several medications. To achieve this, a variety of TIs and polynomials are used, and they accurately represent the veiled facts in graph theory. Every TI is significant and exhibits a notable function in chemical graphs. The use of graph invariants (TIs) in investigations of quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPR) and quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) has attracted significant attention in recent years. Topological indices are employed frequently in various domains such as mathematics, bioinformatics, and cheminformatics, but their most extensive utilization is observed in the field of QSPR. The optimal association between TIs and pharmacological characteristics can be determined using QSPR models.

The author has determined degree-based TIs for infertility medicines in the current research paper. Similarly, topological indices and imposed QSPR (models) are used for comprehensive analysis. These TIs and drug characteristics have been estimated using a linear regression model (LRM). The estimation of certain of these medications' physicochemical properties, or TIs, is also employed in the creation of QSPR models. Curve fitting was used in the QSPR research, which found a strong connection between the features of anticancer drugs. The comprehensive examination of skin cancer drugs is conducted using Khan and Nadeem's imposed QSPR modeling. They have demonstrated the importance of topological indices in understanding the physical characteristics of medications [5]. To anticipate the physicochemical characteristics of medications to treat diabetes, Parveen et al. [6] used the QSPR model. Earlier research on potential drugs for the treatment of COVID-19 was covered by Colakoglu. Given that discovery is a costly and complex phenomenon, this technique works best for predicting it [7]. Targeted analysis and painstakingly crafted topological indexes were used by Parveen et al. to evaluate RA medications [8]. Nasir et al. demonstrate a strong association between the properties of the pharmaceuticals and TIs in their results on blood cancer treatments using QSPR modeling [9]. Frequent studies have initiated a direct association between the chemical properties and molecular structures of chemical compounds and pharmaceuticals. Topological indices are used for detailed investigations in the modeling of cardiovascular medicines [10]. Drugs for vitiligo caused by autoimmune illness were discussed in [11].

Zaman et al. [12] conducted a thorough investigation of the neighborhood version of the sudoku nanosheet topological indices. The issues with traditional drug delivery, such as poor solubility, toxicity, and irregular drug release, can be solved with the use of new technologies based on nanomaterials or naphtalenic nanosheets. Ullah et al. [13]. Degree-based TIs are used by Zaman et al. in [14] to establish a best-fit regression model using QSPR, and they came to the conclusion that the indices are useful in predicting the characteristics of blood cancer medications. For cerium oxide nanostructures, modified versions of the Second Zagreb index and other indices are computed by Zaman et al. [15]. One of the supramolecular dyes employed in Masson's trichrome stain, fuchsine acid, has a wide range of uses in histology. As an organic semiconductor, it has numerous other significant uses in electronic fields and photonic devices.

With the ultimate goal of shedding light on the efficacy of the computed molecular descriptors for QSAR and QSPR investigations carried out by Ullah et al. [16], closed equations are derived for some of its significant irregular molecular descriptors. Ullah et al.'s [17] investigation is made simple by the engendered formulas and mathematical verdicts that are obtained. A number of graphs with excellent application-graph perspectives were estimated by Zhou et al. in [18], paving the path for new and established results in this field. However, employing distance-base Eigen values and sign-less Laplacian energy of graphs, Indulal et al. in [19] produced significant findings. This was succinctly explained by Kirmani et al. in [20]. Generalization of descriptors may decrease the quantity of molecular graph-based descriptors while simultaneously improving current findings and offering a stronger link to multiple molecular features. COVID-19 is a worldwide issue that is being studied and treated with a number of medications. Zhong et al. explore the illness medications by imposing QSPR modes and using topological indices to aid in their investigation [21]. Jovanović and Stanić additionally take into account the spectral distances bounded by a certain constant in [22]. The aforementioned works have inspired us to explore the current study of infertility drugs using topological indices.

2. Methods

The molecular graph depicts a molecular structure made up of a set of atoms or vertices V(G), which are joined by a set of bonds or edges E(G). In a molecular graph, size of graph is n and order m refers to the total number of atoms, or vertices, and the total number of bonds, or edges, respectively. Graph theory and chemistry are often employed to address various chemical graph problems. Topological indices play a crucial role in QSPR analysis as well as in the domains of chemical graph theory and mathematical chemistry. The TIs we used were as follows:

Mesterolone with a chemical formula C20H32O2 is a steroid used for the treatment of low testosterone levels, and it exerts minimal impact on sperm counts and levels. Anastrozole, with the chemical formula C17H19N5, serves as a nonsteroidal inhibitor prescribed for adjuvant therapy in postmenopausal women. It is used to reduce circulating estrogen. Aromatase inhibitors, including anastrozole, have become the preferred endocrine medications for postmenopausal breast cancer treatment. Letrozole is prescribed for the treatment of postmenopausal women, with a chemical formula of C17H11N5. Tamoxifen, with the chemical formula C26H29NO is a selective estrogen receptor modulator used in these treatments either alone or as an adjuvant. Clomifene is a medication used to stimulate ovulation, and its chemical formula is C26H28ClNO. Clomifene (formerly clomifene) is an ovulatory stimulant that is taken orally and operates as a selective estrogen receptor modulator. Clomifene can cause multiple ovulations, thereby increasing the likelihood of having twins. There is a potential for an elevated risk of ovarian cancer and weight gain. Clomifene can interact with tissues that have estrogen receptors such as the hypothalamus, pituitary, ovary, endometrial, vagina, and cervix. Cabergoline is used to treat hyperprolactinemic disorders caused by various factors, and its chemical formula is C32H40BrN5O5. Goserelin is used to treat breast and prostate cancer by lowering pituitary gonadotropin output. Estradiol is used to treat vaginal atrophy in menopause breast cancer treatment and advanced androgen-dependent prostate cancer. The author has applied TIs on drugs in this article and obtained the required results. All the formulas for infertility dugs can be found at Pubchem and Chemspider.

3. Topological Indices Calculation

The author computes topological indices for the anastrozole (AZ) and partition of DU with edge set E. Em,n are edges of AZ with |E1,4|=6, |E2,2|=3, |E2,3|=10, |E3,4|=2. By applying Definitions 1 to 4 we obtain results as follows:

  1. ABC(AZ) = 61+42/1×4+32+22/2×2+102+32/2×3+23+42/3×4= 15.68.

  2. RAAZ=61/1×4+31/2×2+101/2×3+21/3×4= 9.16.

  3. SAZ=61/1+4+31/2+2+101/2+3+21/3+4=9.41.

  4. SAZ=61/1+4+31/2+2+101/2+3+21/3+4=9.41.

  5. GAAZ=121×4/1+4+62×2/2+2+202×3/2+3+43×4/3+4=19.58.

  6. H(AZ)=6(1/(1+4))+3(1/(2+2))+10(1/(2+3))+2(1/(3+4))=8.47.

  7. HM(AZ)=6(1+4)2+3(4+4)2+10(2+3)2+2(3+4)2=546.

  8. F(AZ)=6(1+9)+1(4+4)+18(4+9)+3(9+16)=306.

All other infertility drugs calculations are done with same procedure and are given in Table 1.

4. Dataset and Quantitative Structure Analysis and Regression Models

This section explores the use of topological indices and regression models to investigate the relationship between computed topological indices and physicochemical parameters. The author has tabulated computations of TIs and physical characteristics of molecular structures in Table 1, respectively. Regression models can be constructed using these values. The dataset for the aforementioned molecular structures includes the physicochemical characteristics found on ChemSpider, and the curves are fitted using regression models. In light of this, the author has investigated exponential, logarithmic, cubic, and quadratic models.

The square of the correlation coefficient's (R2), the F-ratio test, and significance (sig) were taken into account in the regression model table. The most accurate regression model is the one with the highest R2 value. The topological index regression models for the specific physicochemical attribute have a few best predictors, which have been highlighted here. The regression model is the best option for this investigation. Instead of fitting straight lines, various regression models have been used. This process is referred to as a curvilinear regression analysis. The following equations for curve fitting were examined in this study:

  1. Y=a+b1Xi+b2Xi2 (quadratic equation)

  2. Y=a+b1Xi+b2Xi2+b3Xi3 (cubic equation)

  3. Y=a+b. lnXi (logarithmic equation)

  4. Y=a.bXi (exponential equation)

where Y is dependent variable, a is the regression model constant, Xi(i=1,  2,  3,…) are independent variables, and bi(i=1,  2,  3,…) are the coefficients for descriptor. The SPSS and MATLAB are useful for determining the results.

In Table 2, the regression models for the enthalpy of molecular structures are presented whereas Figure 2 presents a logarithmic regression model portraying the association between H(G) and enthalpy, and Table 3 displays the regression models developed for predicting the boiling points of various molecular structures. The table includes coefficients, statistical metrics, and other relevant information essential for understanding the relationships between molecular features and boiling points. The models for predicting molar refractivity of molecular structures are summarized in Table 4. The table provides a comprehensive overview of the regression coefficients, their significance, and any additional parameters employed in the models. Figure 3 illustrates the logarithmic regression model depicting the relationship between GA(G) and refractivity. As can be seen in Table 5, the author has constructed regression models that combined the aforementioned topological indices with the physical characteristics of molecular structures. Here Table 5 outlines the regression analysis for assessing the complexity of molecular structures. The logarithmic regression model in Figure 4 demonstrates the relationship between GA(G) and molecular complexity. The regression models for predicting the polarity of molecular structures are detailed in Table 6 while Figure 5 provides a visual representation of the logarithmic regression model depicting the relationship between RA(G) and polarity. In Figure 6, the logarithmic regression model illustrates the relationship between S(G) and molar volume.

The author examined correlation coefficients between the topological indices and other physical characteristics of drugs used to treat infertility, which demonstrate how well the aforementioned indices serve as predictors. In particular, the study presents a quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) analysis of molecular descriptors (TIs), which are tools used to predict the physical and chemical characteristics of drugs, especially in the context of pharmaceutical and medical applications. It is worth noting that molar refractivity and complexity are reliable indicators for these predictions. However, the estimation of polarity and polar surface area is less dependable.

  1. In a quadratic and cubic regression model, the molecular descriptor S(G) is most accurately predicted by factors such as polarity, molar volume, and complexity.

  2. Molecular descriptor ABC(G) is best predicted by refractivity when using a logarithmic regression model.

  3. On employing an exponential regression model, molar refractivity is the most effective predictor for the molecular descriptors GA(G) and HM(G).

Summing up, the topological indices and the structural properties of infertility medication compounds have great and strong connections. The correlation coefficients observed in QSPR modeling are located in close proximity to 1. The observed result shows that p value is below 0.05 and F-test value exceeds 2.5. These conditions confirm the validity of authors' findings. Both experimental and theoretical model results are highly consistent with one another. The author evaluates the predictive power of the degree base TIs using the physicochemical features of these structures. Our understanding of chemistry, pharmacy science, and drug discovery will all be improved by the findings of this study. Employing the study's findings, information on a certain chemical molecule can be found without the need for experiments if it is synthesized from these.

This research sets the stage for future investigations to calculate TIs for newly developed medications, providing valuable insights into their chemical structures and properties. Such knowledge can be crucial for the development and optimization of pharmaceutical compounds. This also enhances the field of topological analysis and provides researchers with extra resources for studying molecule properties by introducing other indices.

In future, these indices can be utilized to many conversions of graphs and probe into other chemical networks and diseases drugs. The molecular structures can also be analyzed on the base of graph energies this will also yield valuable insight into drugs discovery in pharmaceutical industry [30].
