Investigation of resolving sets in the molecular structures of hypoglycemia medications
摘要
In drug structure research, distance-based parameters are essential as they enable graph representations to accurately identify and characterize chemical structures. This approach provides a more comprehensive understanding of molecular characteristics and behavior. Within graph theory, a resolving set is a subset of vertices where each vertex in the graph is uniquely identified by its distance vector to the vertices in this set. The metric dimension is the minimum size of such a resolving set. In pharmaceutical research, the metric dimension serves as a valuable measure of structural similarity and difference between molecules. This paper discusses the metric dimensions of several classes of oral hypoglycemic medication compounds, including sulfonylureas, meglitinides, biguanides, thiazolidinediones,
