This work reports on the synthesis of eight new 2′-hydroxy-chalcones with potential anti-phytopathogenic applications in agroindustry, AMONG others, via Claisen–Schmidt condensation and ultrasound assisted reaction. Assays showed three chalcones with allyl moieties strongly inhibited growth of phytopathogenic oomycete Phytophthora infestans; moreover, compound 8a had a half maximal effective concentration (EC50) value (32.5 µg/mL) similar to that of metalaxyl (28.6 µg/mL). A software-aided quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) analysis of the whole series suggests that the structural features of these new chalcones—namely, the fluoride, hydroxyl, and amine groups over the carbon 3′ of the chalcone skeleton—increase anti-oomycete activity.

<div>In the present work, an extensive QSAR (Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships) analysis of a series of peptide-type SARS-CoV main protease (MPro) inhibitors following the OECD guidelines has been accomplished. The analysis was aimed to identify salient and concealed structural features that govern the MPro inhibitory activity of peptide-type compounds. The QSAR analysis is based on a dataset of sixty-two peptide-type compounds which resulted in the generation of statistically robust and highly predictive multiple models. All the developed models were validated extensively and satisfy the threshold values for many statistical parameters (for e.g. R2 = 0.80–0.82, Q2loo = 0.74–0.77). The developed models identified interrelations of atom pairs as important molecular descriptors. Therefore, the present QSAR models have a good balance of Qualitative and Quantitative approaches, thereby, useful for future modifications of peptide-type compounds for anti- SARS-CoV activity.</div><div><br></div>

Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) based on electronic descriptors had been conducted on 2,3-dihydro-[1,4]dioxino[2,3-f]quinazoline analogues as anticancer using DFT/B3LYP method. The best QSAR equation described as follow: Log IC50 = -11.688 + (-35.522×qC6) + (-21.055×qC10) + (-85.682×qC12) + (-32.997×qO22) + (-85.129 EHOMO) + (19.724×ELUMO). Statistical value of R2 = 0.8732, rm2 = 0.7935, r2-r02/r2 = 0.0118, PRESS = 1.5727 and Fcalc/Ftable = 2.4067 used as external validation. Atomic net charge showed as the most important descriptor to predict activity and design new molecule. Following QSAR analysis, Lipinski rules was applied to filter the design compound due to physicochemical properties and resulted that all filtered compounds did not violate the rules. Docking analysis was conducted to determine interaction between proposed compounds and EGFR protein. Critical hydrogen bond was found in Met769 residue suggesting that proposed compounds could be used to inhibit EGFR protein.

In the current pandemic-stricken world, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis has become a necessity in the domain of molecular biology and drug design, realizing that it helps estimate properties and activities of a compound, without actually having to spend time and resources to synthesize it in the laboratory. Correlating the molecular structure of a compound with its activity depends on the choice of the descriptors, which becomes a difficult and confusing task when we have so many to choose from. In this mini-review, the authors delineate the importance of very simple and easy to compute descriptors in estimating various molecular properties/toxicity.

Study on anti breast cancer activity of 3-substituted 4-anilino coumarin derivatives by using quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) has been performed. The structures and the activity data were literatured from Guoshun et al. experiment. The molecular and electronic molecule properties were obtained from DFT/BPV86 6-31G method calculation after was through methods validation. The QSAR analysis were shown by Multi Linear Regression method (MLR). The best model of obtained for 3-substituted 4-anilino coumarin derivatives is: Log IC50 = 5.905 + (0.936 x qC1) + (-8.225 x qC8) + (-0.582 x qC13) + (11.273 x qC15) + (0.869 x ∆E) ; n = 26; r2= 0.704; Fcal/Ftab = 2.462; SEE = 0.184.
