GPR119 is a potential target for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. GPR119 agonists minimize the side-effects observed with sulphonyl ureas and glucagon-like peptide 1 analogs. Various reported GPR119 agonists from various patents were selected for the study and a 2D-QSAR study (HQSAR) was carried out. Fifty-five molecules were selected for the study. The study was performed on a training set of 40 structurally diverse molecules with reported biological activity. The most significant HQSAR model (q2 = 0.87, r2 = 0.99) was obtained using atoms, bond, connection, and acceptor and donor as fragment distinction. The fragment size was kept at 4–7. The predictive ability of the model was evaluated by an external test set containing 15 molecules not included in the training set, and the predicted values were in good agreement with the experimental values. The important fragments determined by the study were used to design new drug candidates having increased biological activity and comparable physicochemical properties.

Organic compounds are often exposed to the environment, and have an adverse effect on the environment and human health in the form of mixtures, rather than as single chemicals. In this paper, we try to establish reliable and developed classical quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) models to evaluate the toxicity of 99 binary mixtures. The derived QSAR models were built by forward stepwise multiple linear regression (MLR) and nonlinear radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) using the hypothetical descriptors, respectively. The statistical parameters of the MLR model provided were N (number of compounds in training set) = 79, R2 (the correlation coefficient between the predicted and observed activities)= 0.869, LOOq2 (leave-one-out correlation coefficient) = 0.864, F (Fisher’s test) = 165.494, and RMS (root mean square) = 0.599 for the training set, and Next (number of compounds in external test set) = 20, R2 = 0.853, qext2 (leave-one-out correlation coefficient for test set)= 0.825, F = 30.861, and RMS = 0.691 for the external test set. The RBFNN model gave the statistical results, namely N = 79, R2 = 0.925, LOOq2 = 0.924, F = 950.686, RMS = 0.447 for the training set, and Next = 20, R2 = 0.896, qext2 = 0.890, F = 155.424, RMS = 0.547 for the external test set. Both of the MLR and RBFNN models were evaluated by some statistical parameters and methods. The results confirm that the built models are acceptable, and can be used to predict the toxicity of the binary mixtures.

Hydroxyl benzoic esters are preservative, being widely used in food, medicine, and cosmetics. To explore the relationship between the molecular structure and antibacterial activity of these compounds and predict the compounds with similar structures, Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) models of 25 kinds of hydroxyl benzoic esters with the quantum chemical parameters and molecular connectivity indexes are built based on support vector machine (SVM) by using R language. The External Standard Deviation Error of Prediction (SDEPext), fitting correlation coefficient (R2), and leave-one-out cross-validation (Q2LOO) are used to value the reliability, stability, and predictive ability of models. The results show that R2 and Q2LOO of 4 kinds of nonlinear models are more than 0.6 and SDEPext is 0.213, 0.222, 0.189, and 0.218, respectively. Compared with the multiple linear regression (MLR) model (R2=0.421, RSD = 0.260), the correlation coefficient and the standard deviation are both better than MLR. The reliability, stability, robustness, and external predictive ability of models are good, particularly of the model of linear kernel function and eps-regression type. This model can predict the antimicrobial activity of the compounds with similar structure in the applicability domain.

Malaria is a disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium that affects millions of people worldwide. In recent years there have been parasite resistances to several drugs, including the first-line antimalarial treatment. With the aim of proposing new drugs candidates for the treatment of disease, Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship (QSAR) methodology was applied to 83 N-myristoyltransferase inhibitors, synthesized by Leatherbarrow et al. The QSAR models were developed using 63 compounds, the training set, and externally validated using 20 compounds, the test set. Ten different alignments for the two test sets were tested and the models were generated by the technique that combines genetic algorithms and partial least squares. The best model shows r2 = 0.757, q2adjusted = 0.634, R2pred = 0.746, R2m = 0.716, ∆R2m = 0.133, R2p = 0.609, and R2r = 0.110. This work suggested a good correlation with the experimental results and allows the design of new potent N-myristoyltransferase inhibitors.

As one of the leading causes of drug failure in clinical trials, drug-induced liver injury (DILI) seriously impeded the development of new drugs. Assessing the DILI risk of drug candidates in advance has been considered as an effective strategy to decrease the rate of attrition in drug discovery. Recently, there have been continuous attempts in the prediction of DILI. However, it indeed remains a huge challenge to predict DILI successfully. There is an urgent need to develop a quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) model for predicting DILI with satisfactory performance. In this work, we reported a high-quality QSAR model for predicting the DILI risk of xenobiotics by incorporating the use of eight effective classifiers and molecular descriptors provided by Marvin. In model development, a large-scale and diverse dataset consisting of 1254 compounds for DILI was built through a comprehensive literature retrieval. The optimal model was attained by an ensemble method, averaging the probabilities from eight classifiers, with accuracy (ACC) of 0.783, sensitivity (SE) of 0.818, specificity (SP) of 0.748, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.859. For further validation, three external test sets and a large negative dataset were utilized. Consequently, both the internal and external validation indicated that our model outperformed prior studies significantly. Data provided by the current study will also be a valuable source for modeling/data mining in the future.

AbstractA multivariate QSAR study with a set of 34 p-aminosalicylic acid derivatives, described as neuraminidase inhibitors of the H1N1 viruses, is presented in this work. The variable selection was performed with the Ordered Predictors Selection (OPS) algorithm and the model was built with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression method. Leave-N-out cross-validation and y-randomization tests showed that the model was robust and free from chance correlation. The external predictive ability was superior to the 3D-QSAR model previously published. Moreover, it was possible to perform a mechanistic interpretation, where the descriptors referred directly to the mechanism of interaction with the neuraminidase.

Background: Human GPR40 receptor, also known as free fatty-acid receptor 1, is a Gprotein- coupled receptor that binds long chain free fatty acids to enhance glucose-dependent insulin secretion. In order to improve the resistance and efficacy, computational tools were applied to a series of 3-aryl-3-ethoxypropanoic acid derivatives. A relationship between the structure and biological activity of these compounds, was derived using a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) study using CoMFA, CoMSIA and two-dimensional QSAR study using HQSAR methods. Methods: Building the 3D-QSAR models, CoMFA, CoMSIA and HQSAR were performed using Sybyl-X software. The ratio of training to test set was kept 70:30. For the generation of 3D-QSAR model three different alignments were used namely, distill, pharmacophore and docking based alignments. Molecular docking studies were carried out on designed molecules using the same software. Results: Among all the three methods used, Distill alignment was found to be reliable and predictive with good statistical results. The results obtained from CoMFA analysis q2, r2cv and r2 pred were 0.693, 0.69 and 0.992 respectively and in CoMSIA analysis q2, r2cv and r2pred were 0.668, 0.648 and 0.990. Contour maps of CoMFA (lipophilic and electrostatic), CoMSIA (lipophilic, electrostatic, hydrophobic, and donor) and HQSAR (positive & negative contribution) provided significant insights i.e. favoured and disfavoured regions or positive & negative contributing fragments with R1 and R2 substitutions, which gave hints for the modifications required to design new molecules with improved biological activity. Conclusion: 3D-QSAR techniques were applied for the first time on the series 3-aryl-3- ethoxypropanoic acids. All the models (CoMFA, CoMSIA and HQSAR) were found to be satisfactory according to the statistical parameters. Therefore such a methodology, whereby maximum structural information (from ligand and biological target) is explored, gives maximum insights into the plausible protein-ligand interactions and is more likely to provide potential lead candidates has been exemplified from this study.

Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) and Docking studies of novel quinazoline analogues, which are oral potential inhibitors towards the activator protein-1 (AP-1) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), have been carried out. The 3D-QSAR study based on the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) shows the established model having a significant statistical quality and excellent predictive ability, in which the correlation coefficient R is 0.972 and cross-validation coefficient q2 is 0.619. The Docking results also show a considerable correlation (or trend) between the energy scores and the corresponding experimental values for these compounds at some sites. Meanwhile, it is very interesting to find the binding sites just fall on the joint regions between AP-1 (or NF-κB) and DNA. It may be the reason that the quinazoline analogues have inhibition function because their existence on these joint regions can effectively prevent free AP-1 and NF-κB from binding to DNA. Based on the established 3D-QSAR and Docking analyses, six new compounds of quinazoline analogues with higher inhibitory activities were theoretically designed and presented. The above results can offer some valuable theoretical references for the pharmaceutical molecular design as well as the action mechanism analysis.

The Chymotrypsin-like protease (3CLpro) is a drug target in the coronavirus because of its role in processing the polyproteins that are translated from the viral RNA. This study applied 3D quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR), molecular docking, and ADMET prediction on a series of SARS-CoV 3CLpro inhibitors. The 3D-QSAR study was applied using Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA) and Comparative Molecular Similarity Indices Analysis (CoMSIA) methods, which gave the cross-validation coefficient (Q2) values of 0.64 and 0.80, the determination coefficient (R2) values of 0.998 and 0.993 and the standard error of the estimate (SEE) values of 0.046 and 0.091, respectively. The acceptable values of the determination coefficient (R2 test) to CoMFA and CoMSIA respectively corresponding to values of 0.725 and 0.690 utilizing a test set of seven molecules prove the high predictive ability of this model. Molecular docking analysis was utilized to validate 3D-QSAR methods and explain the binding site interactions and affinity between the most active ligands and the SARS-CoV 3CLpro receptor. Based on these results, a novel series of compounds were predicted, and their pharmacokinetic properties were verified using drug-likeness and ADMET prediction. Finally, the best-docked candidate molecules were subjected to molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to affirm their dynamic behavior and stability.
