Some of the promising antiviral drugs include UV-4B (N-9-methoxynonyl-1-deoxynojirimycin), Lycorine, ST-148, 4-HPR, Silymarin, Baicalein, Quercetin, Naringenin, Nelfinavir, Ivermectin, Mosnodenvir (JNJ-1802), NITD-688, Metoclopramide, JNJ-A07 and Betulinic acid.

Graph coloring and topological indices serve as a powerful tools for analyzing the isomorphic molecular graph, providing the structural characterization and computational studies. In this article, two types of coloring-based topological indices <jats:italic>viz.<\/jats:italic>, chromatic topological indices and induced color-based topological indices, are introduced. Linear regression is employed in the QSPR(Quantitative Structure Property Relationship) analysis to examine the dengue antivirals through the computed topological indices of the aforementioned drugs. The results of the QSPR analysis reveal that the induced color-based indices provide better predictions of the physicochemical properties of dengue-treating drugs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fchem.2025.1599715","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,18]],"date-time":"2025-08-18T13:29:46Z","timestamp":1755523786000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["QSPR graph model to explore physicochemical properties of potential antiviral drugs of dengue disease through novel coloring-based topological indices"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"C.","family":"Yogalakshmi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.
