AbstractThe inhibition activities of sulfonamide and sulfamate derivatives for human carbonic anhydrases have been quantitatively analyzed using DRAGON descriptors. QSAR models have been obtained through combinatorial protocol-multiple linear regression (CP-MLR) computational procedure. For the hCA I inhibition activity, a higher value of information content index of the 1-order neighborhood symmetry (IC1) and a lower value of the Moran autocorrelations, MATS2v and MATS1p, along with a lower number of sulfur atoms in a molecular structure (nRSR) is beneficial to the activity. A higher number of 5-membered rings (nR05), a bigger distance between nitrogen and sulfur T(N..S), and a higher value of van der Waals volume weighted descriptor (GATS6v), are helpful to improve the hCA II inhibition activity. For the inhibition of hpCA, a lower value of the descriptors Jhetv and PW5, and higher values of the eigenvalue sum from Z weighted distance matrix, SEigZ, the Moran autocorrelation of lag 8 weighted by atomic van der Waals volumes, MATS8v and the Moran autocorrelation of lag 4 weighted by atomic Sanderson electronegativities, MATS4e are favorable. The derived significant models in such descriptors may further be used to synthesize new potential compounds and to decipher the mode of their actions at molecular level.

Background: Vortioxetine is a multimodal antidepressant drug with combined effects on SERT as an inhibitor, 5-HT1A as agonist and 5-HT3A as an antagonist. Series of vortioxetine analogs have been reported as multi antidepressant compounds and they block serotonin transport into the neuronal cells, activate the postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors and eliminate the low activity of 5-HT3A receptors. Objective: To explore the important properties of vortioxetine analogs involved in antidepressant activity by developing 2D QSAR models. Methods: Selections of significant descriptors were performed by Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) method and, the Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) method and All Subsets and GA algorithm included in QSARINS software were used for generating QSAR models. Further, the virtual screening was performed based on bioactivity and structure similarity using the PubChem database. Results: The four descriptor model of complementary information content (CIC2), solubility (bcutp3), mass (bcutm8) and partial charge in van der Waals surface area (PEOEVSA7) of the molecules is obtained for SERT inhibition with the significant statistics of R2= 0.69, RMSEtr= 0.44, R2 ext= 0.62 and CCCext= 0.78. For 5-HT1A agonist, the two descriptor model of molecular shape (Kappm3) and van der Waals volume of the atoms (bcutv11) with R2= 0.78, RMSEtr= 0.33, R2 ext = 0.83, and CCCext= 0.87 is established. The three descriptor model of information content (IC3), solubility (bcutp9) and electronegativity (GATSe5) of the molecules with R2= 0.61, RMSEtr= 0.34, R2 ext= 0.69 and CCCext= 0.72 is obtained for 5-HT3A antagonist. The antidepressant activities of 16 virtual screened compounds were predicted using the developed models. Conclusion: The developed QSAR models may be useful to predict antidepressant activity for the newly synthesized vortioxetine analogs.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to derive robust and reliable QSAR models for clarification and prediction of antioxidant activity of 43 heterocyclic and Schiff bases dipicolinic acid derivatives. According to the best obtained QSAR model, structures of new compounds with possible great activities should be proposed. Methods: Molecular descriptors were calculated by DRAGON and ADMEWORKS from optimized molecular structure and two algorithms were used for creating the training and test sets in both set of descriptors. Regression analysis and validation of models were performed using QSARINS. Results: The model with best internal validation result was obtained by DRAGON descriptors (MATS4m, EEig03d, BELm4, Mor10p), split by ranking method (R2 = 0.805; R2 ext = 0.833; F = 30.914). The model with best external validation result was obtained by ADMEWORKS descriptors (NDB, MATS5p, MDEN33, TPSA), split by random method (R2 = 0.692; R2 ext = 0.848; F = 16.818). Conclusion: Important structural requirements for great antioxidant activity are: low number of double bonds in molecules; absence of tertial nitrogen atoms; higher number of hydrogen bond donors; enhanced molecular polarity; and symmetrical moiety. Two new compounds with potentially great antioxidant activities were proposed.

Background: In this study, we used a hierarchical approach to develop quantitative structureactivity relationship (QSAR) models for modeling lipophilicity of a set of 81 aniline derivatives containing some pharmaceutical compounds. Objective: The multiple linear regression (MLR), principal component regression (PCR) and partial least square regression (PLSR) methods were utilized to construct QSAR models. Materials & Methods: Quantum mechanical calculations at the density functional theory level and 6- 311++G** basis set were carried out to obtain the optimized geometry and then, the comprehensive set of molecular descriptors was computed by using the Dragon software. Genetic algorithm (GA) was applied to select suitable descriptors which have the most correlation with lipophilicity of the studied compounds. Results: It was identified that such descriptors as Barysz matrix (SEigZ), hydrophilicity factor (Hy), Moriguchi octanol-water partition coefficient (MLOGP), electrophilicity (ω/eV) van der Waals volume (vWV) and lethal concentration (LC50/molkg-1) are the best descriptors for QSAR modeling. The high correlation coefficients and the low prediction errors for MLR, PCR and PLSR methods confirmed good predictability of the three models. Conclusion: In present study, the high correlation between experimental and predicted logP values of aniline derivatives indicated the validation and the good quality of the resulting three regression methods, but MLR regression procedure was a little better than the PCR and PLSR methods. It was concluded that the studied aniline derivatives are not hydrophilic compounds and this means these compounds hardly dissolve in water or an aqueous solvent.

Cytochrome P450 17A1 (CYP17A1) is a critically important enzyme in humans that catalyzes the formation of all endogenous androgens. This enzyme is often considered a molecular target for the development of novel high efficient drugs against prostate cancer. In the present work, the random forest algorithm was used to conduct a QSAR study on 370 CYP17A1 ligands with different structures that were collected from the literature and databases, and a QSAR model was created based on the five important descriptors screened out – 2D adjacency and distance matrix descriptors, 2D atom counts and bond counts and 3D surface area, volume and shape descriptors. The model was verified by the test set (accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, F-measure, MCC, and AUC were calculated). It was revealed that the hydrophobic properties of the vdW surface of the ligand have a significant contribution to the activity prediction. The hydrophobic effect of the molecules may be aroused by the presence of the hydrophobic groups or aromatic rings in the molecules. The created QSAR model shows that the molecules with more aromatic rings have better activity. The accuracy of the model on the test set was 84%, precision – 81%, sensitivity – 93%, specificity – 72%, F-measure – 0.87, MCC – 0.67, AUC – 0.88. The model has good robustness and predictive ability and can be used to screen and discover new highly active CYP17A1 inhibitors.

The diversity of RNA structural elements and their documented role in human diseases make RNA an attractive therapeutic target. However, progress in drug discovery and development has been hindered by challenges in the determination of high-resolution RNA structures and a limited understanding of the parameters that drive RNA recognition by small molecules, including a lack of validated quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR). Herein, we developed QSAR models that quantitatively predict both thermodynamic and kinetic-based binding parameters of small molecules and the HIV-1 TAR model RNA system. A set of small molecules bearing diverse scaffolds was screened against the HIV-1-TAR construct using surface plasmon resonance, which provided the binding kinetics and affinities. The data was then analyzed using multiple linear regression (MLR) combined with feature selection to afford robust models for binding of diverse RNA-targeted scaffolds. The predictivity of the model was validated on untested small molecules. The QSAR models presented herein represent the first application of validated and predictive 2D-QSAR using multiple scaffolds against an RNA target. We expect the workflow to be generally applicable to other RNA structures, ultimately providing essential insight into the small molecule descriptors that drive selective binding interactions and, consequently, providing a platform that can exponentially increase the efficiency of ligand design and optimization without the need for high-resolution RNA structures.

Hydroxyl benzoic esters are preservative, being widely used in food, medicine, and cosmetics. To explore the relationship between the molecular structure and antibacterial activity of these compounds and predict the compounds with similar structures, Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) models of 25 kinds of hydroxyl benzoic esters with the quantum chemical parameters and molecular connectivity indexes are built based on support vector machine (SVM) by using R language. The External Standard Deviation Error of Prediction (SDEPext), fitting correlation coefficient (R2), and leave-one-out cross-validation (Q2LOO) are used to value the reliability, stability, and predictive ability of models. The results show that R2 and Q2LOO of 4 kinds of nonlinear models are more than 0.6 and SDEPext is 0.213, 0.222, 0.189, and 0.218, respectively. Compared with the multiple linear regression (MLR) model (R2=0.421, RSD = 0.260), the correlation coefficient and the standard deviation are both better than MLR. The reliability, stability, robustness, and external predictive ability of models are good, particularly of the model of linear kernel function and eps-regression type. This model can predict the antimicrobial activity of the compounds with similar structure in the applicability domain.
