Nonlinear SAR Modelling of Mosquito Repellents for Skin Application

James Devillers,
Adeline Larghi,
Valérie Sartor
et al.

Abstract: Finding new marketable mosquito repellents is a complex and time-consuming process that can be optimized via modelling. In this context, a SAR (Structure–Activity Relationship) model was designed from a set of 2171 molecules whose actual repellent activity against Aedes aegypti was available. Information-rich descriptors were used as input neurons of a three-layer perceptron (TLP) to compute the models. The most interesting classification model was a 20/6/2 TLP showing 94% and 89% accuracy on the training set … Show more

“…The repellent activity of structurally diverse compounds against Aedes aegypti was measured in cage tests under controlled conditions. The test protocol is fully described in Knipling et al [26] and summarized in Devillers et al [25]. The endpoint was the protection time defined as the time in minutes between the treatment with the tested molecule and the first mosquito bite.…”

“…To facilitate the search for structure-repellency relationships, compounds belonging to classes 2 and 3 were discarded and only classes 1 and 4 were selected for SAR modeling. Data cleaning was performed as previously described [25]. This leads to a total of 2171 chemicals.…”
