Abstract

We have investigated structure-odor relationships of various organic compounds on the assumption that plural substructures of a compound cause the specific odor of it. For this research, a structure-odor database (OSDB) has been constructed. It contains the chemical structure, several physicochemical parameters, and the odor descriptions of over 3,000 organic compounds. In the present work, the 3D structural information of the compounds are generated by CORINA and stored into the OSDB. Three-dimensional structural features that appear in a particular odor category were found by FragSearch program. Then, we tried to classify compounds into some odor categories by the Support Vector Machine tool using the structural fragments as descriptor. The result suggests that the present approach is successfully classified several odor categories.
