: Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) was used to study the partition coefficient of some quinolones and their derivatives. These molecules are broad-spectrum antibiotic pharmaceutics. First, data were divided into two categories of train and test (validation) sets using random selection method. Second, three approaches including stepwise selection (STS) (forward), genetic algorithm (GA), and simulated annealing (SA) were used to select the descriptors, with the aim of examining the effect feature selection methods. To find the relation between descriptors and partition coefficient, multiple linear regression (MLR), principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS) were used. QSAR study showed that the both regression and descriptor selection methods have vital role in the results. Different statistical metrics showed that the MLR-SA approach with (r2=0.96, q2=0.91, pred_r2=0.95) gives the best outcome. The proposed expression by MLR-SA approach can be used in the better design of novel quinolones and their derivatives.

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.
