Abstract
In this paper we demonstrate that by an adequate combination of differ ent topological indices it is possible to select and design new active compounds in different therapeutical scopes, with a very high efficie ncy level. Particularly successful in the search of new ''lead drugs'' , the results show the surprising ability of the topological methods t o describe molecular structures.
