Homology model-guided 3D-QSAR studies of HIV-1 integrase inhibitors

In the present study, we report the exploration of binding modes of potent HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors MK-0518 (raltegravir) and GS-9137 (elvitegravir) as well as chalcone and related amide IN inhibitors we recently synthesized and the development of 3D-QSAR models for integrase inhibition. Homology models of DNA-bound HIV-1 IN were constructed on the basis of the X-ray crystal structure of the foamy virus IN-DNA complex (PDB ID: 3L2T ) and used for docking. The binding modes of raltegravir and elvitegravir in our homology models are in accordance with those in the foamy virus structure revealing interactions important for inhibitor-IN binding. To gain further insights into the structural requirements for IN inhibition, three-dimensional quantitative structure activity relationship (3D-QSAR) studies were conducted using raltegravir, elvitegravir, and their analogs; our synthesized 3-keto salicylic acid IN inhibitor series; as well as other structurally related HIV-1 IN inhibitors. In the first part of the study with 103 compounds, atom-fit alignments, I and II, and docking-based alignment, III, were used to develop 3D-QSAR models 1, 2, and 3, respectively, each comprising comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) 3D-QSARs. This initial analysis indicated that the docking-based (structure-based) model 3 performed better than the atom-fit (ligand-based) models 1 and 2, in terms of statistical significance and robustness. Thus, the docking-based alignment was then subsequently used with an expanded data set of 296 compounds for building a more comprehensive 3D-QSAR, model 4. Model 4 afforded good q2 values of 0.70 and 0.75 for CoMFA and CoMSIA 3D-QSARs, respectively, and showed good predictive performance on an external validation test set of 59 compounds with predictive r2 values up to 0.71. The HIV IN-DNA homology model of biological relevance and the comprehensive 3D-QSAR models developed in the present study provide insights and new predictive tools for structure-based design and optimization of IN inhibitors.     

3D-QSAR and molecular modeling of HIV-1 integrase inhibitors

Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D QSAR) methods were applied on a series of inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase with respect to their inhibition of 3-processing and 3-end joining steps in vitro.The training set consisted of 27 compounds belonging to the class of thiazolothiazepines. The predictive ability of each model was evaluated using test set I consisting of four thiazolothiazepines and test set II comprised of seven compounds belonging to an entirely different structural class of coumarins. Maximum Common Substructure (MCS) based method was used to align the molecules and this was compared with other known methods of alignment. Two methods of 3D QSAR: comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) were analyzed in terms of their predictive abilities. CoMSIA produced significantly better results for all correlations. The results indicate a strong correlation between the inhibitory activity of these compounds and the steric and electrostatic fields around them. CoMSIA models with considerable internal as well as external predictive ability were obtained. A poor correlation obtained with hydrophobic field indicates that the binding of thiazolothiazepines to HIV-1 integrase is mainly enthalpic in nature. Further the most active compound of the series was docked into the active site using the crystal structure of integrase. The binding site was formed by the amino acid residues 64-67, 116, 148, 151-152, 155-156, and 159. The comparison of coefficient contour maps with the steric and electrostatic properties of the receptor shows high level of compatibility.
