Considering the structural complexity of molecules of fipronil and related analogs, three different alignments were performed in this paper. CoMFA model for housefly receptor yield the leave-one-out and cross-validated correlation coefficient q2 value of 0.511 and the conventional correlation coefficient r2 value of 0.997. The new compounds with higher activity would be designed from this model. CoMFA model for rat receptor was not successful using all these three alignments, the reason of which maybe that some molecules adopt different conformations for rat receptor.展开更多
