Abstract
AIMS
We introduce the first quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) perturbation model for probing multiple antibacterial profiles of nanoparticles (NPs) under diverse experimental conditions.
MATERIALS & METHODS
The dataset is based on 300 nanoparticles containing dissimilar chemical compositions, sizes, shapes and surface coatings. In general terms, the NPs were tested against different bacteria, by considering several measures of antibacterial activity and diverse assay times. The QSAR perturbation model was created from 69,231 nanoparticle-nanoparticle (NP-NP) pairs, which were randomly generated using a recently reported perturbation theory approach.
RESULTS
The model displayed an accuracy rate of approximately 98% for classifying NPs as active or inactive, and a new copper-silver nanoalloy was correctly predicted by this model with consensus accuracy of 77.73%.
CONCLUSION
Our QSAR perturbation model can be used as an efficacious tool for the virtual screening of antibacterial nanomaterials.
