Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) and Docking studies of novel quinazoline analogues, which are oral potential inhibitors towards the activator protein-1 (AP-1) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), have been carried out. The 3D-QSAR study based on the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) shows the established model having a significant statistical quality and excellent predictive ability, in which the correlation coefficient R is 0.972 and cross-validation coefficient q2 is 0.619. The Docking results also show a considerable correlation (or trend) between the energy scores and the corresponding experimental values for these compounds at some sites. Meanwhile, it is very interesting to find the binding sites just fall on the joint regions between AP-1 (or NF-κB) and DNA. It may be the reason that the quinazoline analogues have inhibition function because their existence on these joint regions can effectively prevent free AP-1 and NF-κB from binding to DNA. Based on the established 3D-QSAR and Docking analyses, six new compounds of quinazoline analogues with higher inhibitory activities were theoretically designed and presented. The above results can offer some valuable theoretical references for the pharmaceutical molecular design as well as the action mechanism analysis.

Background: S-dihydro-alkyloxy-benzyl-oxopyrimidines (S-DABOs) as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors have received considerable attention during the last decade due to their high potency against HIV-1. Methods: In this study, three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) of a series of 38 S-DABO analogues developed in our lab was studied using Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA) and Comparative Molecular Similarity Indices Analysis (CoMSIA). The Docking/MMFF94s computational protocol based on the co-crystallized complex (PDB ID: 1RT2) was used to determine the most probable binding mode and to obtain reliable conformations for molecular alignment. Statistically significant CoMFA (q2=0.766 and r2=0.949) and CoMSIA (q2=0.827 and r2=0.974) models were generated using the training set of 30 compounds on the basis of hybrid docking-based and ligand-based alignment. Results: The predictive ability of CoMFA and CoMSIA models was further validated using a test set of eight compounds with predictive r2 pred values of 0.843 and 0.723, respectively. Conclusion: The information obtained from the 3D contour maps can be used in designing new SDABO derivatives with improved HIV-1 inhibitory activity.

Background: Human GPR40 receptor, also known as free fatty-acid receptor 1, is a Gprotein- coupled receptor that binds long chain free fatty acids to enhance glucose-dependent insulin secretion. In order to improve the resistance and efficacy, computational tools were applied to a series of 3-aryl-3-ethoxypropanoic acid derivatives. A relationship between the structure and biological activity of these compounds, was derived using a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) study using CoMFA, CoMSIA and two-dimensional QSAR study using HQSAR methods. Methods: Building the 3D-QSAR models, CoMFA, CoMSIA and HQSAR were performed using Sybyl-X software. The ratio of training to test set was kept 70:30. For the generation of 3D-QSAR model three different alignments were used namely, distill, pharmacophore and docking based alignments. Molecular docking studies were carried out on designed molecules using the same software. Results: Among all the three methods used, Distill alignment was found to be reliable and predictive with good statistical results. The results obtained from CoMFA analysis q2, r2cv and r2 pred were 0.693, 0.69 and 0.992 respectively and in CoMSIA analysis q2, r2cv and r2pred were 0.668, 0.648 and 0.990. Contour maps of CoMFA (lipophilic and electrostatic), CoMSIA (lipophilic, electrostatic, hydrophobic, and donor) and HQSAR (positive & negative contribution) provided significant insights i.e. favoured and disfavoured regions or positive & negative contributing fragments with R1 and R2 substitutions, which gave hints for the modifications required to design new molecules with improved biological activity. Conclusion: 3D-QSAR techniques were applied for the first time on the series 3-aryl-3- ethoxypropanoic acids. All the models (CoMFA, CoMSIA and HQSAR) were found to be satisfactory according to the statistical parameters. Therefore such a methodology, whereby maximum structural information (from ligand and biological target) is explored, gives maximum insights into the plausible protein-ligand interactions and is more likely to provide potential lead candidates has been exemplified from this study.

The Chymotrypsin-like protease (3CLpro) is a drug target in the coronavirus because of its role in processing the polyproteins that are translated from the viral RNA. This study applied 3D quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR), molecular docking, and ADMET prediction on a series of SARS-CoV 3CLpro inhibitors. The 3D-QSAR study was applied using Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA) and Comparative Molecular Similarity Indices Analysis (CoMSIA) methods, which gave the cross-validation coefficient (Q2) values of 0.64 and 0.80, the determination coefficient (R2) values of 0.998 and 0.993 and the standard error of the estimate (SEE) values of 0.046 and 0.091, respectively. The acceptable values of the determination coefficient (R2 test) to CoMFA and CoMSIA respectively corresponding to values of 0.725 and 0.690 utilizing a test set of seven molecules prove the high predictive ability of this model. Molecular docking analysis was utilized to validate 3D-QSAR methods and explain the binding site interactions and affinity between the most active ligands and the SARS-CoV 3CLpro receptor. Based on these results, a novel series of compounds were predicted, and their pharmacokinetic properties were verified using drug-likeness and ADMET prediction. Finally, the best-docked candidate molecules were subjected to molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to affirm their dynamic behavior and stability.

Two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) quantitative structure–activity relationships (QSARs) of 23 analogs of 2-Methoxyestradiol with anticancer activity (expressed as p GI50) against MCF-7 human breast cancer cells have been studied by using a combined method of the DFT, MM2 and statistics for 2D, as well as the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) for 3D. The established 2D-QSAR model in training set shows not only significant statistical quality, but also predictive ability, with the square of adjusted correlation coefficient [Formula: see text] and the square of the cross-validation coefficient (q2= 0.779). The same model was further applied to predict p GI50values of the four compounds in the test set, and the resulting [Formula: see text] being as high as 0.827, further confirms that this 2D-QSAR model has high predictive ability for this kind of compound. The 3D-QSAR model also shows good correlative and predictive capabilities in terms of R2(0.927) and q2(0.786) obtained from CoMFA model. The results that 2D- and 3D-QSAR analyses accord with each other, suggest that the electrostatic interaction plays a decisive role in determining the anticancer activity of the studied compounds, and that increasing the negative charge of substituent R2and the positive charge of substituents linking to C17as well as decreasing the size of substituent R1are advantageous to improving the cytotoxicity. Such results can offer some useful theoretical references for directing the molecular design and understanding the action mechanism of this kind of compound with anticancer activity.

Background: Inflammation is common pathogenesis of many diseases progression, such as malignancy, cardiovascular and rheumatic diseases. The inhibition of the synthesis of inflammatory mediators by modulation of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways provides a challenging strategy for the development of more effective drugs. Objective: The aim of this study was to design dual COX-2 and 5-LOX inhibitors with iron-chelating properties using a combination of ligand-based (three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR)) and structure-based (molecular docking) methods. Methods: The 3D-QSAR analysis was applied on a literature dataset consisting of 28 dual COX-2 and 5-LOX inhibitors in Pentacle software. The quality of developed COX-2 and 5-LOX 3D-QSAR models were evaluated by internal and external validation methods. The molecular docking analysis was performed in GOLD software, while selected ADMET properties were predicted in ADMET predictor software. Results: According to the molecular docking studies, the class of sulfohydroxamic acid analogues, previously designed by 3D-QSAR, was clustered as potential dual COX-2 and 5-LOX inhibitors with iron-chelating properties. Based on the 3D-QSAR and molecular docking, 1j, 1g, and 1l were selected as the most promising dual COX-2 and 5-LOX inhibitors. According to the in silico ADMET predictions, all compounds had an ADMET_Risk score less than 7 and a CYP_Risk score lower than 2.5. Designed compounds were not estimated as hERG inhibitors, and 1j had improved intrinsic solubility (8.704) in comparison to the dataset compounds (0.411-7.946). Conclusion: By combining 3D-QSAR and molecular docking, three compounds (1j, 1g, and 1l) are selected as the most promising designed dual COX-2 and 5-LOX inhibitors, for which good activity, as well as favourable ADMET properties and toxicity, are expected.

= Three-dimensional quantitative structure activity relationship (3D QSAR) analysis was carried out on a et of 56 N,N’-diarylsquaramides, N,N’-diarylureas and diaminocyclobutenediones in order to understand their antagonistic activities against CXCR2. The studies included comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA). Models with good predictive abilities were generated with CoMFA q2 0.709, r2 (non-cross-validated square of correlation coefficient) = 0.951, F value = 139.903, r2 bs = 0.978 with five components, standard error of estimate = 0.144 and the CoMSIA q2 = 0.592, r2 = 0.955, F value = 122.399, r2 bs = 0.973 with six components, standard error of estimate = 0.141. In addition, a homology model of CXCR2 was used for docking based alignment of the compounds. The most active compound then served as a template for alignment of the remaining structures. Further, mapping of contours onto the active site validated each other in terms of residues involved with reference to the respective contours. This integrated molecular docking based alignment followed by 3D QSAR studies provided a further insight to support the structure-based design of CXCR2 antagonistic agents with improved activity profiles. Furthermore, in silico screening was adapted to the QSAR model in order to predict the structures of new, potentially active compounds.

An alignment-free, three dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) analysis has been performed on a series ofβ-carboline derivatives as potent antitumor agents toward HepG2 human tumor cell lines. A highly descriptive and predictive 3D-QSAR model was obtained through the calculation of alignment-independent descriptors (GRIND descriptors) using ALMOND software. For a training set of 30 compounds, PLS analyses result in a three-component model which displays a squared correlation coefficient (r2) of 0.957 and a standard deviation of the error of calculation (SDEC) of 0.116. Validation of this model was performed using leave-one-out,q2looof 0.85, and leave-multiple-out. This model gives a remarkably highr2pred(0.66) for a test set of 10 compounds. Docking studies were performed to investigate the mode of interaction betweenβ-carboline derivatives and the active site of the most probable anticancer receptor, polo-like kinase protein.

AbstractA multivariate QSAR study with a set of 34 p-aminosalicylic acid derivatives, described as neuraminidase inhibitors of the H1N1 viruses, is presented in this work. The variable selection was performed with the Ordered Predictors Selection (OPS) algorithm and the model was built with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression method. Leave-N-out cross-validation and y-randomization tests showed that the model was robust and free from chance correlation. The external predictive ability was superior to the 3D-QSAR model previously published. Moreover, it was possible to perform a mechanistic interpretation, where the descriptors referred directly to the mechanism of interaction with the neuraminidase.
