Genetic algorithm and partial least square (GA-PLS), kernel PLS (GA-KPLS) and Levenberg- Marquardt artificial neural network (L-M ANN) techniques were used to investigate the correlation between dissociation constant (pKa) and descriptors for 60 drug compounds. The applied internal (leave-group-out cross validation (LGO-CV)) and external (test set) validation methods were used for the predictive power of models. Descriptors of GA-KPLS model were selected as inputs in L-M ANN model. The results indicate that L-M ANN can be used as an alternative modeling tool for quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) studies. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
