Algorithm for Prediction of Biological Activity Spectra
According to the Bayes' theorem, the probability P(A|S) that the compound S has activity (or inactivity) A, equals to: P(A|S) = P(S|A)•P(A)/P(S) If the descriptors of organic compound D1, ..., Dm are independent, then: P(S|A) = P(D1, ..., Dm|A) = ПiP(Di|A) P(A) and P(A|Di) are calculated as sums through all compounds of the training set:

18977 compounds with 124 activities were selected from MDDR.
The set of compounds was 50 times divided at random into two equal subsets.
The first subset was used as the training set, the second one as the evaluation subset and vice versa (100 experiments).
20, 40, 60, 80% of information (activity/structure data) were excluded from the training set.
Average accuracy of prediction (IAP) was calculated for each type of activity.

in cross-maze Results
Perindopril in dose of 1 mg/kg, and quinapril and monopril in doses of 10 mg/kg improved the patrolling behavior in the maze. This effect is similar to the effects of standard nootropic drugs piracetam and meclofenoxate (in doses of 300 and 120 mg/kg, respectively). The observed nootropic effect of these ACE inhibitors is likely to be unrelated to their
antihypertensive effect, since the nootropic action took place only at relatively low doses of perindopril, quinapril and monopril and was not observed with further increase in dose.

Computer-aided approaches is useful for finding of hits and their optimization to lead compounds.
PASS predictions allow to identify the most relevant biological screens for testing of particular chemical compounds.
PharmaExpert provides the means for selection of chemical compounds with desirable biological activity spectra (incl. multitargeted actions).
GUSAR can be used as an universal tool for solving various QSAR/QSPR problems.
