Table 3.

Case (i): screening based on SMILES central chain and Case (ii): screening based on SMILES central N-atom neighbors (N3 atom of the pyrimidine) for chain length and atomic neighboring in longest SMILES molecular chain (LoSMoC) in upper entry and the Branching SMILES (BraS) in down entry for various versions (V’s) of SMILES based screening criteria along the molecules of Table 1, respectively. The correlation factors are given for full dependency of parameters of Table 1, i.e., A = A (χ, η, π, ω, logP), and for statistical error tolerance of 0.0001, unless otherwise indicated for the best correlation’s combination such that the Topliss-Costello rule [152] for ratio molecule-to-descriptors ≥ 4 to be generally respected (at least for χ & η as the main QSAR descriptors); the marked correlation corresponds with selected criteria and implicitly with the working molecular pool of Table 1 for each SMILES configuration (LoSMoC and BraS) and screening case (i and ii) further considered (see text).
