Introduction

PyDescriptorC is an advanced Python-based cheminformatics toolkit designed for the rapid calculation of comprehensive molecular descriptors from three-dimensional molecular structures. Built as an extension of the widely used PyDescriptor platform, it integrates PyMOL with multiprocessing capabilities to generate a large collection of interpretable and reproducible descriptors suitable for QSAR, QSPR, machine learning, and molecular property prediction. Notably, PyDescriptorC incorporates chirality-aware descriptors, enabling the quantitative characterization of stereochemical features and the investigation of chirality cliffs, stereoselective structure–activity relationships, and chiral drug discovery. Its emphasis on three-dimensional molecular representation makes it a valuable computational resource for modern cheminformatics and AI-driven pharmaceutical research.
