Inhibition of checkpoint kinase-1 (Chk1) by small molecules is of great therapeutic interest in the field of oncology and for understanding cell-cycle regulations. This paper presents a model with elements from docking, pharmacophore mapping, the 3D-QSAR approaches CoMFA, CoMSIA and CoRIA, and virtual screening to identify novel hits against Chk1. Docking, 3D-QSAR (CoRIA, CoMFA and CoMSIA), and pharmacophore studies delineate crucial site points on the Chk1 inhibitors, which can be modified to improve activity. The docking analysis showed residues in the proximity of the ligands that are involved in ligand–receptor interactions, whereas CoRIA models were able to derive the magnitude of these interactions that impact the activity. The ligand-based 3D-QSAR methods (CoMFA and CoMSIA) highlight key areas on the molecules that are beneficial and (or) detrimental for activity. The docking studies and 3D-QSAR models are in excellent agreement in terms of binding-site interactions. The pharmacophore hypotheses validated using sensitivity, selectivity, and specificity parameters is a four-point model, characterized by a hydrogen-bond acceptor (A), hydrogen-bond donor (D), and two hydrophobes (H). This map was used to screen a database of 2.7 million druglike compounds, which were pruned to a small set of potential inhibitors by CoRIA, CoMFA, and CoMSIA models with predicted activity in the range of 8.5–10.5 log units.

Checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2) has a great effect on DNA-damage and plays an important role in response to DNA double-strand breaks and related lesions. In this study, we will concentrate on Chk2 and the purpose is to find the potential inhibitors by the pharmacophore hypotheses (PhModels), combinatorial fusion, and virtual screening techniques. Applying combinatorial fusion into PhModels and virtual screening techniques is a novel design strategy for drug design. We used combinatorial fusion to analyze the prediction results and then obtained the best correlation coefficient of the testing set (rtest) with the value 0.816 by combining theBesttrainBesttestandFasttrainFasttestprediction results. The potential inhibitors were selected from NCI database by screening according toBesttrainBesttest+FasttrainFasttestprediction results and molecular docking with CDOCKER docking program. Finally, the selected compounds have high interaction energy between a ligand and a receptor. Through these approaches, 23 potential inhibitors for Chk2 are retrieved for further study.
