Abstract:Conformational studies and comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) were undertakenfor a series of camptothecin (CPT) analogs to correlate topoisomerase I inhibition with thesteric and electrostatic properties of 32 known compounds. The resulting CoMFA modelshave been used to make predictions on novel CPT derivatives. Using the newly derived MM3parameters, a molecular database of the 32 CPT analogs was created. Various point atomiccharges were generated and assigned to the MM3 minimized structures, which were used inpartial least-squares analyses. Overall, CoMFA models with the greatest predictive validitywere obtained when both the R- and S-isomers were included in the data set, andsemiempirical charges were calculated for MM3 minimized low-energy lactone structures. Across-validated R2 of 0.758 and a non-cross-validated R2 of 0.916 were obtained for MM3minimized structures with PM3 ESP charges for the 32 CPT analogs. The derived QSARequations were used to assign topoisomerase I inhibition values for compounds in this studyand compounds not included in the original data set. Prior to its appearance in the literature,an IC50 of 103 nM was predicted for the 10,11-oxazole derivative. This CoMFA predictedvalue compared favorably with the recently reported value of 150 nM. The CoMFA modelwas also evaluated by predicting the activities of recently reported 11-aza CPT and trionederivatives. The predicted activity (IC50 = 249 nM) for 11-aza CPT compared well with thereported value of 383 nM.
