A Comparative Study of Two Quantum Chemical Descriptors in Predicting Toxicity of Aliphatic Compounds towards Tetrahymena pyriformis

Table 5

Regression models for different groups of aliphatic compounds (removing the racemates and the diastereomers from the data set and by changing the unit of IGC50 from mg/L to molarity) for estimating their toxicity towards Tetrahymena pyriformis.
