QSAR/pharmacophore programs Catalyst

Some pharmacophore searching programs are designed to provide 3D-QSAR models that are capable of predicting the activity from a quantitative point of view. Apex-3D [34], Catalyst HypoGen [9] and Phase [17] are examples. Consequently, such a model should have correct statistics and abide by the common QSAR validation approaches. Box 3 describes some of them very briefly as they have been reviewed elsewhere (see [35-41]).
