Result Hie coefficientsof cross-validation q^2 and non cross-validation r^2 for the model established by the study are0.744 and 0.993, respectively, the value of variance ratio F is 261.343, and standard error estimate(SE) is 0.039. Conclusion These values indicate that the CoMFA model may have a good prediction forthe activity of C-3 substituted 4, 6-dichloroin-dole-2-carboxylic acids. As a consequence, thepredicted activity values of new designed compounds supports our conclusion from the model.展开更多

The proposed model,using multiple linear regression,contained four descriptors solely extracted from the molecular structure of compounds. The statistical results of the final model show that R2= 0.982 4 and S=0.869 8 (where R is the correlation coefficient and S is the standard deviation). To test its predictive ability,the model was further used to predict the 13C NMR spectra of the carbinol carbon atoms of other nine compounds which were not included in the developed model. The average relative errors are 0.94% and 1.70%,respectively,for the training set and the predictive set. The model is statistically significant and shows good stability for data variation as tested by the leave-one-out (LOO) cross-validation. The comparison with other approaches also reveals good performance of this method.展开更多

In order to improve the compatibility of TBG and its analogues with other ingredients in antifouling paints, structural modification of TBG was focused mainly on halogen substitution and N-substitution. Two halogen-substitute gramines and their derivatives which contain ester functional groups at N-position of gramines were synthesized. Algal inhibition activities of the synthesized compounds against algae Nitzschia cIosterium were evaluated and the Median Effective Concentration (EC50) range was 1.06-6.74 lag ml^-1. Compounds that had a long chain ester group exhibited extremely high antifouling activity. Quantitive Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) studies with multiple linear regression analysis were applied to fred correlation between different calculated molecular descriptors and biological activity of the synthesized compounds. The results show that the toxicity (log (I/EC50)) is correlated well with the partition coefficient log P. Thus, these products have potential function as antifouling agents.展开更多

In principle, as any molecular structure can be associated to quantum mechanical density functions (DF), a molecular set can be reconstructed as a quantum multimolecular polyhedron (QMP), whose vertices are formed by each molecular DF. According to QQSPR theory, complicated kinds of molecular properties, like biological activity or toxicity, of molecular sets can be calculated via the quantum expectation value of an approximate Hermitian operator, which can be evaluated with the geometrical information contained in the attached QMP via quantum similarity matrices. Practical ways of solving the QQSPR problem from the point of view of QMP geometrical structure are provided. Such a development results into a powerful algorithm, which can be implemented within molecular design as an alternative to the current classical QSPR procedures.展开更多

The best models were obtained for the receptor-based alignment with CoMSIA combining steric (S), electrostatic (E), and hydrogen bond donor (D) and hydrogen bond acceptor (A) fields (q2 = 0.759, r2 = 0.966, r2 pred = 0.703). Based on the contour maps of RB CoMSIA model, some key structural factors responsible for inhibitory activity were investigated. Large groups at N-substituent or R6 position are preferred to interact with hydrophobic residues Ile70, Asp150, Ala151, Asn152 and Ser193. Electron-donating or hydrogen bond donor groups on the isatin ring would form polar and hydrogen bond with the negative-charged residue Glu147. In addition, electron-withdrawing groups or hydrogen bond acceptor group near the N-substituent would enhance inhibitory activity. The results are in good accordance and complementary to each other. The developed models could provide guidance in the rational design of more potent and selective JNK inhibitors.展开更多

The results of a viability assay on NIH_T3 cells indicated that compound 3m potently inhibited the cell viability with an IC50 value of 2.0 μM. The 3D-quantitative structure-activity relationship analyses of 30 final molecules applying topomer CoMFA and AutoGPA methods gave two reasonable models with a cross-validated correlation coefficient q^2 of 0.662 and 0.787, respectively. The achievement herein suggested the application of 3-hydroxypyridin-4(1H)-one as a novel scaffold for the discovery of anti-fibrosis agents. In addition, the QSAR and pharmacophore models established with the activity data may provide new insights into the structure optimization of pyridin-4(1H)-one derivative with potent anti-fibrotic effects.展开更多

The estrogen receptor (ER) exists as two subtypes, ERα and ERβ. Compounds might have different relative affinities and binding modes for ERα and ERβ. In this study, the heuristic method was performed on 31 compounds binding to ERβ to select 5 variances most related to the activity (LogRBA) from 1524 variances, which were then employed to develop the best model with the significant correlation and the best predictive power (γ^2 = 0.829, q^2LOO = 0.742, γ^2pred = 0.772, q^2ext = 0.724, RMSEE = 0.395) using multiple linear regression (MLR). The model derived identified critical structural features related to the activity of binding to ERβ. The applicability domain (AD) of the model was assessed by Williams plot.展开更多
