Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder disease and DPP-4 inhibitors are a class of oral hypoglycemic that blocks the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) enzyme.  DPP-4 inhibitors reduce glucagon and blood glucose levels and don’t have side effects such as hypoglycemia or weight gain. In this paper, a series of imidazolopyrimidine amides analogues as DPP4 inhibitors were selected for quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis and docking studies. A collection of chemometric methods such as multiple linear regression (MLR), factor analysis-based multiple linear regression (FA-MLR), principal component regression (PCR), genetic algorithm for variable selection-MLR (GA-MLR) and partial least squared combined with genetic algorithm for variable selection (GA-PLS), were conducted to make relations between structural features and DPP4 inhibitory of a variety of imidazolopyrimidine amides derivatives. GA-PLS represented superior results with high statistical quality (R2 = 0.94 and Q2 = 0.80) for predicting the activity of the compounds. Docking studies of these compounds reveals and confirms that compounds 15, 18, 25, 26, and 28 are introduced as good candidates for DPP-4 inhibitors were introduced as a good candidate for DPP-4 inhibitory compounds.

Designer benzodiazepines (DBZDs) represent a serious health concern and are increasingly reported in polydrug consumption-related fatalities. When new DBZDs are identified, very limited information is available on their pharmacodynamics. Here, computational models (i.e., quantitative structure-activity relationship/QSAR and Molecular Docking) were used to analyse DBZDs identified online by an automated web crawler (NPSfinder®) and to predict their possible activity/affinity on the gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptors (GABA-ARs). The computational software MOE was used to calculate 2D QSAR models, perform docking studies on crystallised GABA-A receptors (6HUO, 6HUP) and generate pharmacophore queries from the docking conformational results. 101 DBZDs were identified online by NPSfinder®. The validated QSAR model predicted high biological activity values for 41% of these DBDZs. These predictions were supported by the docking studies (good binding affinity) and the pharmacophore modelling confirmed the importance of the presence and location of hydrophobic and polar functions identified by QSAR. This study confirms once again the importance of web-based analysis in the assessment of drug scenarios (DBZDs), and how computational models could be used to acquire fast and reliable information on biological activity for index novel DBZDs, as preliminary data for further investigations.

Quinazoline Derivatives

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.
