An automated PLS engine, WB-PLS, was applied to 1632 QSAR series with at least 25 compounds per series extracted from WOMBAT (WOrld of Molecular BioAcTivity). WB-PLS extracts a single Y variable per series, as well as pre-computed X variables from a table. The table contained 2D descriptors, the drug-like MDL 320 keys as implemented in the Mesa A&C Fingerprint module, and in-house generated top...

Gap junctions (GJs) made of connexin-43 (Cx43) are necessary for the conduction electrical impulses in heart. Modulation Cx43 GJ activity may be beneficial treatment cardiac arrhythmias and other dysfunctions. The search novel GJ-modulating agents using molecular docking allows accurate prediction binding affinities ligands, which, unfortunately, often poorly correlate with their potencies. obj...

4D quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) and 3D pharmacophore models were built and investigated for cytotoxicity using a training set of 25 lamellarins against human hormone dependent T47D breast cancer cells. Receptor-independent (RI) 4D QSAR models were first constructed from the exploration of eight possible receptor-binding alignments for the entire training set. Since the tr...

A new computer program has been designed to build and analyze quantitative-structure activity relationship (QSAR) models through regression analysis. The user is provided with a range of regression and validation techniques. The emphasis of the program lies mainly in the validation of QSAR models in chemical applications. ARTE-QSAR produces an easy interpretable output from which the user can c...

B-Raf kinase is an important target in treatment of cancers. In order to design and find potent B-Raf inhibitors (BRIs), 3D pharmacophore models were created using the Genetic Algorithm with Linear Assignment of Hypermolecular Alignment of Database (GALAHAD). The best pharmacophore model obtained which was used in effective alignment of the data set contains two acceptor atoms, three donor atom...

A combinatorial quantitative structure-activity relationships (Combi-QSAR) approach has been developed and applied to a data set of 98 ambergris fragrance compounds with complex stereochemistry. The Combi-QSAR approach explores all possible combinations of different independent descriptor collections and various individual correlation methods to obtain statistically significant models with high...
