    2D-Discrete Fourier Transform: Generalization of the MIA-QSAR strategy in molecular modeling
    (Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems, 2015) Barigye, Stephen J.; Freitas, Matheus P.
    Adequate alignment of chemical structure images with respect to the basic scaffold in a series of chemical compounds constitutes an indispensable requirement for constructing multivariate images (MVIs) and subsequent molecular modeling using the Multivariate Image Analysis applied to Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship (MIA-QSAR) approach. However, up to the moment, this alignment procedure has been manually performed, based on subjective ocular precision. The 2D-Discrete Fourier Transform (2D-DFT) is introduced as a strategy for creating a common base to construct MVIs for chemical structures using their magnitude spectra. The utility of magnitude spectra in QSAR studies has been evaluated through models for the antimalarial, anticancer and trichomonicidal activity of a series of 2, 5-diaminobenzophenone, 4-phenylpyrrolocarbazole and benzimidazole derivatives, respectively, yielding satisfactory results comparable to superior to those reported in the literature. It is anticipated that this strategy should enable the application of the MIA-QSAR approach to structurally diverse datasets other than a series of congeneric datasets.

    Ten Years of the MIA-QSAR Strategy: Historical Development and Applications
    (International Journal of Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships, 2016) Barigye, Stephen Jones; Freitas, Matheus Puggina de
    It has been a decade since the introduction of the MIA-QSAR (acronym of Multivariate Image Analysis applied to Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship) method. While many successes have been achieved over the years, the path for the progressive development of this method has been far from straight; several hurdles have been encountered and corresponding solutions devised, some immediately and others gradually. This report offers a comprehensive treatise of the most relevant stages in the historical development of the MIA-QSAR strategy. New challenges and future prospects are also discussed.
