3D-QSAR and Docking Studies of Pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine Derivatives as Wee1 Inhibitors

In order to investigate the inhibiting mechanism and obtain some helpful information for de-signing functional inhibitors against Wee1, three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) and docking studies have been performed on 45 pyrido[2,3-d] pyrim-idine derivatives acting as Wee1 inhibitors. Two optimal 3D-QSAR models with significant statistical quality and satisfactory predictive ability were established, including the CoMFA model (q²=0.707, R²=0.964) and CoMSIA model (q²=0.645, R²=0.972). The external val-idation indicated that both CoMFA and CoMSIA models were quite robust and had high predictive power with the predictive correlation coefficient values of 0.707 and 0.794, essen-tial parameter r²_m values of 0.792 and 0.826, the leave-one-out r²_m(LOO) values of 0.781 and 0.809, r²_m(overall) values of 0.787 and 0.810, respectively. Moreover, the appropriate binding orientations and conformations of these compounds interacting with Wee1 were revealed by the docking studies. Based on the CoMFA and CoMSIA contour maps and docking analyses, several key structural requirements of these compounds responsible for inhibitory activity were identified as follows: simultaneously introducing high electropositive groups to the sub-stituents R1 and R5 may increase the activity, the substituent R2 should be smaller bulky and higher electronegative, moderate-size and strong electron-withdrawing groups for the substituent R3 is advantageous to the activity, but the substituent X should be medium-size and hydrophilic. These theoretical results help to understand the action mechanism and design novel potential Wee1 inhibitors.

3D-QSAR and Surflex Docking Studies of a Series of Alkaline Phosphatase Inhibitors

Alkaline phosphatases(APs) include the placental AP(PLAP), germ cell AP(GCAP), intestinal AP(IAP) and tissue nonspecific AP(TNAP). Over expression of TNAP in smooth muscle cells of kidney and vessels provokes the progress of such serious diseases as end-stage renal disease, idiopathic infantile arterial calcification, ankylosis, osteoarthritis and diabetes. In order to design and optimize the potent TNAP inhibitors, comparative molecular field analysis(CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis(CoMSIA) were used to analyze 3D structure-activity relationships(3D-QSAR) of TNAP inhibitors. The 3D-QSAR model(CoMFA with q~2 = 0.521, r~2 = 0.930; CoMSIA with q~2 = 0.529, r~2 = 0.933) had a good predictability. Surflex-dock was used to reveal the binding mode between the inhibitors and TNAP protein. CoMFA, CoMSIA and docking results provide guidance for the discovery of TNAP inhibitors. Finally, eight new compounds as potential TNAP inhibitors were designed.

Based on the CoMFA contour maps, some key structural factors responsible for the anticancer activity of the series of compounds were revealed. The results provide some useful theoretical references for understanding the mechanism of action, designing new N-aryl-salicylamide derivatives with high anti-tumor activity, and predicting their activities.

Molecular Docking and 3D-QSAR Studies on a Series of Fused Heterocyclic Amides as B-Raf Inhibitors

B-Raf has been identified as promising targets for novel anticancer agents. To further explore the interactions between small molecules and B-Raf, and to elucidate structural characteristics that influence the B-Raf kinase activity, molecular docking and three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship(3D-QSAR) studies were performed on a dataset of 75 Type Ⅱ inhibitors. Molecular docking was applied to explore the detailed binding process between the inhibitors and B-Raf kinase in its DFG-out inactive conformation. Based on the conformations obtained by molecular docking strategy, 3D-QSAR models, including comparative molecular field analysis(CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indexes analysis(CoMSIA), were constructed. The established 3D-QSAR models show significant statistical quality and satisfactory predictive ability, with high q~2 and r~2 values: CoMFA model(q~2= 0.759, r~2 = 0.922), and CoMSIA model(q~2 = 0.685, r~2 = 0.945). The systemic external validation indicated that both CoMFA and CoMSIA models were quite robust and possess high predictive abilities with r~2 pred values of 0.633 and 0.708, respectively. Several key structural features accounting for the inhibitory activities of these compounds were discussed based on the 3D contour maps generated by the CoMFA and CoMSIA models, which were in good accordance with the docking results. These theoretical results rendered by 3D-QSAR models along with the docking may provide a useful reference for understanding the action mechanism and designing novel potential B-Raf inhibitors.

2D-QSAR Using MLR and 3D-QSAR Using CoMSIA Studies on the Toxicity of Aromatic Hydrocarbons on Larval Sinonvaculina Constricta

Aromatic hydrocarbons,one of the persistent organic pollutants(POPs),has been usually found in mussels,accumulated for their hard mobility and activities in harbours and estuaries.In this study,based on the 96 hr-LC50 of 12 aromatic hydrocarbons with larval sinonvaculina constricta,three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship(3D-QSAR) technique:comparative molecular similarity indices analysis(CoMSIA) and 2D-QSAR technique:multiple linear regression(MLR) were described to obtain more detailed insight into the structure-activity relationships between the molecular structure and bio-activity.The results show the MLR model based on density functional theory(DFT) calculation carried out at the B3LYP/6-311** level with Gaussian 03 program yielded a very good correlation with a coefficient squared R2 of 0.716 and a cross-validated Q2 of 0.874.The dipole moment and enthalpy,as the thermodynamic parameters,were two important factors influencing pLC50.Correspondingly,CoMSIA based on the partial least-squares(PLS) methodology with steric,electrostatic,hydrophobic,H-bond donor and acceptor fields contributing simultaneously were employed and the values of R2 and the cross validation with leave-One-Out(LOO) Q2LOO were 0.585 and 0.990,respectively,which reveals the structure features,such as the electronegative substituent(nitro-group),hydrophobic groups(the benzene ring) and H-bond(nitro-group),related to the toxicity.The results of 2D-QSAR employing MLR model and 3D-QSAR employing CoMSIA model provide the useful information for predicting the toxicity of other aromatic hydrocarbons by comparing the molecular structures of similar compounds.
