Objective: Malonyl CoA decarboxylase (MCD) enzyme plays important role in fatty acid and glucose oxidation. Inhibition of MCD might turn to a novel approach to treat ischemia. The main objective of this research article was to develop a novel pharmacophore for enhanced activity.Methods: Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSAR) was performed for pyrazoline derivatives as MCD inhibitors using VLife MDS 4.6 software. The QSAR model was developed using the stepwise 3D-QSAR kNN-MFA method.Results: The statistical results generated from kNN-MFA method indicated the significance and requirements for better MCD inhibitory activity. The information rendered by 3D-QSAR model may render to better understanding and designing of novel MCD inhibitors.Conclusion: 3D-QSAR is an important tool in understanding the structural requirements for the design of novel and potent MCD inhibitors. It can be employed to design new drug discovery.
