Molecular structure investigation of anticancer drug by topological indices

Abstract

The various medical observations represent that the properties of the drugs have an adjacent relation to its molecular structures. Drug properties will be determined by analysing and investigating the corresponding molecular structures of the drug. In chemical graph theory, topological index is one of the significant tools which is applied to understand the properties of a chemical compound. Topological indices defined on these chemical molecular structures can help researchers to better understand the physical features, chemical re-activities and biological activities. This work is to demonstrate various topological indices on anticancer drug, Hyaluronic acid (HA) used in the manufacturing of anticancer drugs.
