In many applications and problems in material engineering and chemistry, it is valuable to know how irregular a given molecular structure is. Furthermore, measures of the irregularity of underlying molecular graphs could be helpful for quantitative structure property relationships and quantitative structure-activity relationships studies, and for determining and expressing chemical and physical properties, such as toxicity, resistance, and melting and boiling points. Here we explore the following three irregularity measures: the irregularity index by Albertson, the total irregularity, and the variance of vertex degrees. Using graph structural analysis and derivation, we compute the above-mentioned irregularity measures of several molecular graphs of nanotubes.

Camptothecin (CPT), obtained from Camptotheca acuminata (Nyssaceae), is a quinoline type of alkaloid. Apart from various traditional uses, it is mainly used as a potential cytotoxic agent acting against a variety of cancer cell lines. Though searches have been continued for last six decades, still it is a demanding task to design potent and cytotoxic CPTs. Different CPT analogs are synthesized to enhance the cytotoxic potential as well as to increase the pharmacokinetic properties of these analogs. Some of these analogs were proven to be clinically effective in different cancer cell lines. In this article, different CPT analogs have been highlighted extensively to get a detail insight about the structure-property relationships as well as different quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) modeling of these analogs are also discussed. This study may be beneficial for designing newer CPT analogs in future.
