Generalized Correlations. Generalized correlations are often the only recourse when a property value cannot be determined from empirical correlations or by other means. Several powerful correlating techniques fall under this category, including the principle of corresponding states (3,17), reduced property models (1), and the Polanyi-type characteristic curve for microporous adsorbents (14).

Many advances have been made in computational ADME modeling. For many ADME properties, models now exist which provide reasonably good predictive quality and can be deployed to aid medicinal chemists in drug discovery projects.

The basic GC-model of the Constantinou and Gani method (Eq. 1) as presented above provides the basis for the formulation of the solvent replacement problem as a MILP-optimization problem. For purposes of simplicity, in this chapter, only the first-order approximation is taken into consideration (that is, W is equal to zero). In this way, the functions of the target properties of the generated molecules (solvent replacements) are written as monotonic functions of the property values, thereby, leading to a linear right hand side of the property constraints (property model equation), as follows,... 

In the mathematical optimization based approaches first a superstructure is created which has embedded a large number of alternative designs. Then mathematical techniques like MINLP are used to find the optimum process within the specified superstructure. For the products considered here there are two big hurdles preventing the large scale use of these techniques (Hill, 2004). Firstly a lot of the physico-chemical phenomena occurring are not completely understood. This makes rigorous modeling difficult. Secondly there is a lack of relevant property models for structured products.

The second challenge is to relate the desired product attributes to the material properties of the ingredients and the structure of the product. For example, the development process would have been much more efficient if a model was available to describe the behavior of cleansing bars and structured food products. Without the benefits of predictive models, as is the present status for many consumer products, extensive trial-and-error by experiments are required. Even if a comprehensive model based on first principles is not available, a combination of physical insights and heuristics can still help improve the development process. Chapters 1-2 report some new developments in this area. See also [11] for a more detailed discussion on the issues and needs related to the roles and uses of property models in product design.

Steady-state process simulation or process flowsheeting has become a routine activity for process analysis and design. Such systems allow the development of comprehensive, detailed, and complex process models with relatively little effort. Embedded within these simulators are rigorous unit operations models often derived from first principles, extensive physical property models for the accurate description of a wide variety of chemical systems, and powerful algorithms for the solution of large, nonlinear systems of equations.

The simplest representation of a molecule, with respect to computing physicochemical properties, is to assume the property to be the sum of the property values of the individual constituent atoms, or groups of atoms. Extensive data bases (1,2) of atomic and group (fragment) property values have been compiled to facilitate implementation of this model. The most notable physicochemical properties employed in QSARs using an additive property model are ... 

A drawback to additive property models of molecular structure is that 3-dimensional molecular properties cannot be determined. However, it is clear that conformation, or more generally, molecular shape, can be an important factor in expression of biological activity. Thus, there is a need to be able to determine conformational/shape properties of molecules and to use these properties to develop a QSAR. 

In Figure 8.17 the predicted dimensionless curvature at the end of curing and the experimental data are plotted versus degree of cure for the intermittent cure study. Most of the changes occur in the region above a = 0.8. Up to a = 0.95 and at a = 1, the predictions are very good. Between a = 0.95 and 1, however, the model underpredicts the dimensionless curvature by about 40 percent. This could be the result of various assumptions introduced in the material property models.
