Topomer CoMFA,HQSAR Studies and Molecular Docking of 2,5-Diketopiperazine Derivatives as Oxytocin Inhibitors

Topomer comparative molecular field analysis(Topomer Co MFA) and holographic quantitative structure-activity relationship(HQSAR) for 130 2,5-diketopiperazine derivatives were used to build a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship(3D-QSAR) model. The results show that the models have high predictive ability. For Topomer CoMFA, the cross-validated q~2 value is 0.710 and the non-cross-validated r~2 value is 0.834. The most effective HQSAR model shows that the cross-validation q~2 value is 0.700, the non-cross-validated r~2 value is 0.815, and the best hologram length value is 353 using connections and bonds as fragment distinctions. 50 highly active 2,5-diketopiperazine derivatives were designed based on the three-dimensional equipotential map and HQSAR color code map. Finally, the molecular docking method was also used to study the interactions of these new molecules by docking the ligands into the diketopiperazine active site, which revealed the likely bioactive conformations. This study showed that there are extensive interactions between the new molecule and Arg156, Arg122 residues in the active site of diketopiperazine. These results provide useful insights for the design of potent of the new 2,5-diketopiperazine derivatives.
