QSAR (Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship)

Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) is a scientific method used to predict the effects of chemical compounds based on their molecular structure. By analyzing the relationship between a compound’s chemical features and its biological activity, researchers can estimate how new, untested compounds might behave. This approach is widely used in drug discovery and environmental science to enhance the efficiency of finding effective medications or understanding a chemical's impact on health and the environment, minimizing the need for extensive physical testing.
