B3LYP/6-31G* calculations performed for the S(-) form of CQ predict a ΔGc value of -52.06 kJ/mol [46]. The graphics of total acceptors and donors H bonds groups for antiviral agents versus the ΔGc values by using B3LYP/6-31G* calculations generate an approximate lineal correlation with a correlation coefficient of R² = 0.8691 while when the values of both forms of CQ are considered the lineal correlation coefficient increases at R² = 0.9096. Note that the higher ΔGc values in the antiviral agents are observed when the total acceptor and donors H bonds groups increase to 19, as it was observed in brincidofovir and in the hydrated foscarnet salt [44,45].
