| Abstract | Predictive regression-based models for bioconcentration factor (BCF) have been developed using mechanistically interpretable descriptors computed from open source tool PaDEL-Descriptor ( http://padel.nus.edu.sg/software/padeldescriptor/ ). A data set of 522 diverse chemicals has been used for this modeling study, and extended topochemical atom (ETA) indices developed by the present authors' group were chosen as the descriptors. Due to the importance of lipohilicity in modeling BCF, XLogP (computed partition coefficient) was also tried as an additional descriptor. Genetic function approximation followed by multiple linear regression algorithm was applied to select descriptors, and subsequent partial least squares analyses were performed to establish mathematical equations for BCF prediction. The model generated from only ETA indices shows importance of seven descriptors in model development, while the model generated from ETA descriptors along with XlogP shows importance of four descriptors in model development. In general, BCF depends on lipophilicity, presence of heteroatoms, presence of halogens, fused ring system, hydrogen bonding groups, etc. The developed models show excellent statistical qualities and predictive ability. The developed models were used also for prediction of an external data set available from the literature, and good quality of predictions (R (2) pred = 0.812 and 0.826) was demonstrated. Thus, BCF can be predicted using ETA and XlogP descriptors calculated from open source PaDEL-Descriptor software in the context of aquatic chemical toxicity management. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
