Some New Topological Invariants for Chemical Structures Used in the Treatment of COVID-19 Patients

Abstract

A topological index plays an important rule in predicting physicochemical properties of a molecular structure. There are more than 150 topological indices present in literature but not a single index predict perfect result. In this paper, we will introduce some new topological invariants namely Maxmin indices and Maxmin polynomials and calculate results for Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine. These structures are helpful in the treatment of COVID-19 patients.

Keywords

• Maxmin indices
• COVID-19
• Chloroquine
• Hydroxychloroquine
