Title in Portuguese
Estudo teórico da toxicidade dos PAHs por meio de ferramentas teóricas e sua importância na determinação do dano ambiental
Keywords in Portuguese
log Kow
PAH
PLS
Toxicidade
Abstract in Portuguese
Nas questões ambientais legais, muitas vezes a referência à toxicidade de uma substância é vaga. No entanto, essa informação é essencial para a determinação da extensão do dano. Para fazer a previsão desses valores para o benzeno e hidrocarbonetos policíclicos aromáticos (PAHs), componentes do petróleo, foi feito um estudo QSAR (Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship) por meio de cálculos de mecânica quântica e quimiometria. O objetivo foi construir modelos para prever os valores de coeficiente de partição n-octanol/água, Kow (n-octanol/water partition coefficient) além do estudo das toxicidades dos PAHs. Para este estudo, as geometrias de todas as moléculas foram otimizadas utilizando os métodos semiempíricos AM1, PM3, PM6 e PM7. Desses resultados ainda foram extraídos os descritores teóricos que foram utilizados para descrever os valores de log Kow. Entre todos aqueles calculados, os descritores: energia total, energia eletrônica, área, volume e massa molar foram escolhidos como os parâmetros para o estudo PLS (Partial Least Squares). Além disso, as toxicidades dos PAHs foram calculadas por meio do programa T.E.S.T (Toxicity Estimation Software Tool) disponibilizado gratuitamente pelo EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) e estimados por meio de modelo PLS e gráficos de correlação. Observou-se com esse estudo que todos os métodos apresentaram resultados bastante satisfatórios, uma vez que valores próximos de 1 foram obtidos tanto para o coeficiente de correlação interno, Q2, quanto para o externo, R2.

Abstract in English
In the environmental legal issues, often the reference to toxicity of a substance is vague. However, this information is essential for determining the extent of damage. To forecast these values for benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), petroleum components, one study QSAR (Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship) was done by calculation of quantum mechanics and chemometrics. The goal was to build models to predict the values of the partition coefficient n-octanol / water, Kow (n-octanol / water partition coefficient) beyond the study of the toxicity of PAHs. For this study, the geometries of all molecules were optimized using the semi-empirical methods AM1, PM3, PM6 and PM7. These theoretical results also descriptors that were used to describe the Log Kow values were extracted. Among those calculated descriptors: total energy, electronic energy, area, volume and molar mass were chosen as the parameters for the study PLS (Partial Least Squares). Furthermore, the toxicities of PAHs were calculated using the TEST (Toxicity Estimation Software Tool) program available free of charge by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and estimated by PLS model and correlation charts. It was observed in this study that all the methods have shown promising results, since values near one were obtained for the standard and cross-validated correlation coefficients R2 and Q2.
