Quantitative structure-activity relationship of 2-alkyl-4-(biphenylylmethoxy) pyridine derivatives with AT1 receptor antagonistic activity

The quantitative structure-activity relationship(QSAR) of 2-alkyl-4-(biphenylylmethoxy) pyridine derivatives was studied.Three different alignment methods were used to get the models of the comparative molecular field analysis(CoMFA),the comparative molecular similarity indices analysis(CoMSIA),and the hologram quantitative structure?activity relationship(HQSAR).The statistical results from the established models show believable predictivity based on the cross-validated value(q2>0.5) and the non-validated value(r2>0.9),The analysis on contour maps of CoMFA and CoMSIA models suggests that hydrophobic and hydrogen-bond acceptor fields are important factors that affect the AT1 antagonistic activity of 2-alkyl-4-(biphenylylmethoxy) pyridine derivatives besides the steric and electrostatic fields,The structural modification information from different atom contributions in the HQSAR model is in agreement with that in the 3D-QSAR models.

Topomer CoMFA, HQSAR Studies and Molecular Docking of 2,5-Diketopiperazine Derivatives as Oxytocin Inhibitors

Topomer comparative molecular field analysis(Topomer Co MFA)and holographic quantitative structure-activity relationship(HQSAR)for 1302,5-diketopiperazine derivatives were used to build a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship(3D-QSAR)model.The results show that the models have high predictive ability.For Topomer CoMFA,the cross-validated q^2 value is 0.710 and the non-cross-validated r^2 value is 0.834.The most effective HQSAR model shows that the cross-validation q^2 value is 0.700,the non-cross-validated r^2 value is 0.815,and the best hologram length value is 353 using connections and bonds as fragment distinctions.50 highly active 2,5-diketopiperazine derivatives were designed based on the three-dimensional equipotential map and HQSAR color code map.Finally,the molecular docking method was also used to study the interactions of these new molecules by docking the ligands into the diketopiperazine active site,which revealed the likely bioactive conformations.This study showed that there are extensive interactions between the new molecule and Arg156,Arg122 residues in the active site of diketopiperazine.These results provide useful insights for the design of potent of the new 2,5-diketopiperazine derivatives.
