Abstract Background Food flavors are relatively low molecular weight chemicals with unique odor-related functional groups that may also be associated with mutagenicity. These chemicals are often difficult to test for mutagenicity by the Ames test because of their low production and peculiar odor. Therefore, application of the quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) approach is being considered. We used the StarDrop™ Auto-Modeller™ to develop a new QSAR model. Results In the first step, we developed a new robust Ames database of 406 food flavor chemicals consisting of existing Ames flavor chemical data and newly acquired Ames test data. Ames results for some existing flavor chemicals have been revised by expert reviews. We also collected 428 Ames test datasets for industrial chemicals from other databases that are structurally similar to flavor chemicals. A total of 834 chemicals’ Ames test datasets were used to develop the new QSAR models. We repeated the development and verification of prototypes by selecting appropriate modeling methods and descriptors and developed a local QSAR model. A new QSAR model “StarDrop NIHS 834_67” showed excellent performance (sensitivity: 79.5%, specificity: 96.4%, accuracy: 94.6%) for predicting Ames mutagenicity of 406 food flavors and was better than other commercial QSAR tools. Conclusions A local QSAR model, StarDrop NIHS 834_67, was customized to predict the Ames mutagenicity of food flavor chemicals and other low molecular weight chemicals. The model can be used to assess the mutagenicity of food flavors without actual testing.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is an important target for cancer therapy. In this study, EGFR inhibitors were investigated to build a two-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (2D-QSAR) model and a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) model. In the 2D-QSAR model, the support vector machine (SVM) classifier combined with the feature selection method was applied to predict whether a compound was an EGFR inhibitor. As a result, the prediction accuracy of the 2D-QSAR model was 98.99% by using tenfold cross-validation test and 97.67% by using independent set test. Then, in the 3D-QSAR model, the model with q2=0.565 (cross-validated correlation coefficient) and r2=0.888 (non-cross-validated correlation coefficient) was built to predict the activity of EGFR inhibitors. The mean absolute error (MAE) of the training set and test set was 0.308 log units and 0.526 log units, respectively. In addition, molecular docking was also employed to investigate the interaction between EGFR inhibitors and EGFR.

  Objective: To find out novel inhibitors for histamine 4 receptor (H4R), the target for various allergic and inflammatory pathophysiological conditions.Methods: Homology modeling of H4R was performed using easy modeler and validated using structure analysis and verification server, and with the modeled structure, virtual screening, pharmacophore modeling, and quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) studies were performed using the Schrodinger 9.3 software.Results: Among all the synthetic and natural ligands, hesperidin, vitexin, and diosmin were found to have the highest dock score, and with that, a five-point pharmacophore model was developed consisting of two hydrogen bond acceptor and three ring atoms, and the pharmacophore hypothesis yielded a statistically significant three-dimensional QSAR (3D-QSAR) model with a correlation coefficient of r2=0.8962 as well as good predictive power.Conclusion: The pharmacophore-based 3D-QSAR model generated from natural antihistamines can provide intricate structural knowledge about a new class of anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory drug research.

An anticough medicine, noscapine [(S)-3-((R)4-methoxy-6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquinolin-5-yl)-6,7-dimethoxyiso-benzofuran-1(3H)-one], was discovered in the authors’ laboratory as a novel type of tubulin-binding agent that mitigates polymerization dynamics of microtubule polymers without changing overall subunit-polymer equilibrium. To obtain systematic insight into the relationship between the structural framework of noscapine scaffold and its antitumor activity, the authors synthesized strategic derivatives (including two new ones in this article). The IC50 values of these analogs vary from 1.2 to 56.0 µM in human acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells (CEM). Geometrical optimization was performed using semiempirical quantum chemical calculations at the 3-21G* level. Structures were in agreement with nuclear magnetic resonance analysis of molecular flexibility in solution and crystal structures. A genetic function approximation algorithm of variable selection was used to generate the quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) model. The robustness of the QSAR model ( R2 = 0.942) was analyzed by values of the internal cross-validated regression coefficient ( R2LOO = 0.815) for the training set and determination coefficient ( R2test = 0.817) for the test set. Validation was achieved by rational design of further novel and potent antitumor noscapinoid, 9-azido-noscapine, and reduced 9-azido-noscapine. The experimentally determined value of pIC50 for both the compounds (5.585 M) turned out to be very close to predicted pIC50 (5.731 and 5.710 M).

Two-dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) studies of anti-trypanosomatid, furoxan alkylnitrate derivatives have been carried out. This study aims at establishing a quantitative structure activity relationship between furoxan alkylnitrate molecule and their anti-trypanosomatid property. A statistically best QSAR model was obtained with a correlation coefficient r2 of 0.8559, cross validation coefficient, q2 of 0.8072 and pred_r2 value of 0.8217. Various 2D descriptors were calculated and used in the present analysis. The descriptors SdssS (sulfone) count and SdsNE-index suggested that sulphone and NO2 groups at the R1 and R2 positions of furoxan moiety will increases anti-trypanosomatid activity. It will be useful to build a QSAR model to correlate the properties of new untested furoxan derivatives with their anti-trypanosomatid activity.

Epipodophyllotoxins are the most important anticancer drugs used in chemotherapy for various types of cancers. To further, improve their clinical efficacy a large number of epipodophyllotoxin derivatives have been synthesized and tested over the years. In this study, a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model has been developed between percentage of cellular protein-DNA complex formation and structural properties by considering a data set of 130 epipodophyllotoxin analogues. A systematic stepwise searching approach of zero tests, missing value test, simple correlation test, multicollinearity test, and genetic algorithm method of variable selection was used to generate the model. A statistically significant model ( r( train)2 = 0.721; q cv2 = 0.678) was obtained with descriptors such as solvent-accessible surface area, heat of formation, Balaban index, number of atom classes, and sum of E-state index of atoms. The robustness of the QSAR models was characterized by the values of the internal leave-one-out cross-validated regression coefficient ( q cv2) for the training set and r( test)2 for the test set. The root mean square error between the experimental and predicted percentage of cellular protein–DNA complex formation (PCPDCF) was 0.194 and r( test)2 = 0.689, revealing good predictability of the QSAR model.
