Simulation of the Impact of Pesticides on Pollinators Under Different Conditions Using Correlation Weighting of Quasi-SMILES Components Together with the Index of Ideality of Correlation (IIC)
<i>Background</i>: Pesticide toxicity to insects is an important adverse effect with a potentially large ecological impact when considering the effect on beneficial insects, as pollinators. The assessment of this endpoint is necessary to avoid applying ecologically dangerous pesticides. <i>Aim of the study:</i> Assessment of the availability of the Monte Carlo method for the development of a model for toxicity (pLD50) towards bees and other pollinators. In addition, the index of ideality of correlation is examined as a possibility to increase the statistical quality of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) for the toxicity of pesticides to pollinators. <i>Main results and novelty:</i> models with good performance on the toxic effect of pesticides towards different pollinators, wrapping acute and chronic effects, using the Monte Carlo method for QSAR analysis.
