The QSAR model obtained suggests that substituents with a lesser value of the index of refraction and less electronegative groups were favourable for the activity, whereas indomethacin derivatives with a CH2CH2NHCONH (CH2)3ONO2 group at R1 position were unfavourable for the activity. The results were critically discussed based on regression data and cross-validation techniques. Pogliani factor Q and the results of the LOO (leave-one-out) method confirmed the reliability and predictability of the proposed models that could be highly beneficial for the future designing of new analogues with higher potency.
