Abstract

A topological index is a real number derived from the structure of a chemical graph. It is helpful to determine the physicochemical and biological properties of a wide range of drugs, and it better reflects the theoretical properties of organic compounds. This is accomplished using degree-based topological indices. Vitiligo is a common, acquired skin pigmentation disorder that significantly impacts the quality of life. It frequently embodies a therapeutic challenge, resulting in interest in alternative treatments based on vitamin and herbal supplements. In this article, azathioprine, clobetasol, desonide, hydrocortisone valerate, and other drugs utilized to cure vitiligo have discoursed, and the goal of QSPR revision is to determine the mathematical relationship between properties under investigation (e.g., polarity and enthalpy) and diverse descriptors associated with the drugs' molecule. The QSPR model will help to predict physical properties. In this study, topological indices (TIs) imposed on said drugs were found to have a good correlation with physicochemical properties in this course. Finally, this work can be helpful to design and synthesize new vitiligo treatments and other disease drugs.
