In recent years, one of the promising approaches in the QSAR modeling Monte Carlo optimization approach as conformation independent method, has emerged. Monte Carlo optimization has proven to be a valuable tool in chemoinformatics, and this review presents its application in drug discovery and design. In this review, the basic principles and important features of these methods are discussed as well as the advantages of conformation independent optimal descriptors developed from the molecular graph and the Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System (SMILES) notation compared to commonly used descriptors in QSAR modeling. This review presents the summary of obtained results from Monte Carlo optimization-based QSAR modeling with the further addition of molecular docking studies applied for various pharmacologically important endpoints. SMILES notation based optimal descriptors, defined as molecular fragments, identified as main contributors to the increase/ decrease of biological activity, which are used further to design compounds with targeted activity based on computer calculation, are presented. In this mini-review, research papers in which molecular docking was applied as an additional method to design molecules to validate their activity further, are summarized. These papers present a very good correlation among results obtained from Monte Carlo optimization modeling and molecular docking studies.

Background: Recently, some authors have defined new molecular descriptors (MDs) based on the use of the Graph Discrete Derivative, known as Graph Derivative Indices (GDI). This new approach about discrete derivatives over various elements from a graph takes as outset the formation of subgraphs. Previously, these definitions were extended into the chemical context (N-tuples) and interpreted in structural/physicalchemical terms as well as applied into the description of several endpoints, with good results. Objective: A generalization of GDIs using the definitions of Higher Order and Mixed Derivative for molecular graphs is proposed as a generalization of the previous works, allowing the generation of a new family of MDs. Methods: An extension of the previously defined GDIs is presented, and for this purpose, the concept of Higher Order Derivatives and Mixed Derivatives is introduced. These novel approaches to obtaining MDs based on the concepts of discrete derivatives (finite difference) of the molecular graphs use the elements of the hypermatrices conceived from 12 different ways (12 events) of fragmenting the molecular structures. The result of applying the higher order and mixed GDIs over any molecular structure allows finding Local Vertex Invariants (LOVIs) for atom-pairs, for atoms-pairs-pairs and so on. All new families of GDIs are implemented in a computational software denominated DIVATI (acronym for Discrete DeriVAtive Type Indices), a module of KeysFinder Framework in TOMOCOMD-CARDD system. Results: QSAR modeling of the biological activity (Log 1/K) of 31 steroids reveals that the GDIs obtained using the higher order and mixed GDIs approaches yield slightly higher performance compared to previously reported approaches based on the duplex, triplex and quadruplex matrix. In fact, the statistical parameters for models obtained with the higher-order and mixed GDI method are superior to those reported in the literature by using other 0-3D QSAR methods. Conclusion: It can be suggested that the higher-order and mixed GDIs, appear as a promissory tool in QSAR/QSPRs, similarity/dissimilarity analysis and virtual screening studies.

Introduction: Tyrosine threonine kinase (TTK1) is a key regulator of chromosome segregation. TTK targeting received recent concern for the enhancement of possible anticancer therapies. Objective: In this regard we employed our well-known method of QSAR-guided selection of best crystallographic pharmacophore(s) to discover considerable binding interactions that anchore inhibitors into TTK1 binding site. Method:Sixtyone TTK1 crystallographic complexes were used to extract 315 pharmacophore hypotheses. QSAR modeling was subsequently used to choose a single crystallographic pharmacophore that when combined with other physicochemical descriptors elucidates bioactivity discrepancy within a list of 55 miscellaneous inhibitors. Results: The best QSAR model was robust and predictive (r2(55) = 0.75, r2LOO = 0.72 , r2press against external testing list of 12 compounds = 0.67), Standard error of estimate (training set) (S)= 0.63 , Standard error of estimate (testing set)(Stest) = 0.62. The resulting pharmacophore and QSAR models were used to scan the National Cancer Institute (NCI) database for new TTK1 inhibitors. Conclusion: Five hits confirmed significant TTK1 inhibitory profiles with IC50 values ranging between 11.7 and 76.6 micM.
