The chemical structures of the compounds were optimized using Spartan software at Density Functional Theory (DFT) level, utilizing the B3LYP/ 6-31G<strong><sup>* </sup></strong>basis set. Four QSAR models were generated using Multi-Linear Regression (MLR) and Genetic Function Approximation (GFA) method. Equation one was chosen as the best model based on the validation parameters. The validation parameters was found to be statistically signi?cant with square correlation coefficient (R<sup>2</sup>) of 0.9853, adjusted square correlation coef?cient ( ) of 0.9816, cross validation coefficient ( ) of 0.9727 and an external correlation coefficient square ( ) of 0.6649 was used to validate the model. The built model was a good and robust one for it passed the minimum requirement for generating a QSAR model.</p>}, number={1}, journal={The Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences}, author={Ovaku, Momohjimoh Idris and Abech, Stephen Eyije and Shallangwa, Gideon Adamu and Uzairu, Adamu}, year={2020}, month={jan.}, pages={0008–0014} }
