HIV-1 RT is one of the key enzymes in the duplication of HIV-1. Inhibitors of HIV-1 RT are classified as nonnucleoside RT inhibitors (NNRTIs) and nucleoside analogues. NNRTIs bind in a region not associated with the active site of the enzyme. Within the NNRTI category, there is a set of inhibitors commonly referred to as TIBO inhibitors. Fifty TIBO inhibitors were used in the work to build 3-D ...

A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study was performed on a series of indole amide analogues reported by Dai et al. [Bioorg Med Chem Lett (2003), 13, 1897-1901] to act as histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. The multiple regression analysis (MRA) revealed a model showing the significant dependence of the activity on molar refractivity (MR) and global topological charge inde...

B-RaF is a member of the RAF family of serine/threonine kinases involved in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, and proliferation. It forms part of a conserved apoptosis signals through the RAS-RAF-MAPK pathway. As an important target of the cancer treatment B-Raf has more potential for researcher. The discovery of the B-RAF mutation [1] has elevated expectation for targeted therapy...

A new class of selective antagonists the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit 2B have been developed using molecular modeling techniques. The three-dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationship (3D-QSAR) study, based on comparative field analysis (CoMFA) and similarity index (CoMSIA) models, indicate that steric, electrostatic hydrogen bond acceptor fields a key function in a...

UNLABELLED In vitro antitumor evaluation of the synthesized 46 compounds of 3,5-diaryl-4,5-dihydropyrazoles against EAC cell lines and 3D QSAR study using pharmacophore and Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA) methods were described. CoMFA derived QSAR model shows a good conventional squared correlation coefficient r2 and cross validated correlation coefficient r2cv 0.896 and 0.568 resp...

Q uantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) correlate, within congeneric series of compounds, affinities of ligands to their binding sites, inhibition constants, rate constants, and other biological activities, either with certain structural features (Free Wilson analysis) or with atomic, group or molecular properties, such as lipophilicity, polarizability, electronic and steric prope...

The p38 protein kinase is a serine-threonine mitogen activated protein kinase, which plays an important role in inflammation and arthritis. A combined study of 3D-QSAR and molecular docking has been undertaken to explore the structural insights of pyrazolyl urea p38 kinase inhibitors. The 3D-QSAR studies involved comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity ...

A three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) model of sulfonamide analogs binding a monoclonal antibody (MAb(SMR)) produced against sulfamerazine was carried out by Distance Comparison (DISCOtech), comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA), and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA). The affinities of the MAb(SMR), expressed as Log(10)IC(50),...

Novel N-substituted tetrahydro-β-carboline imidazolium salt derivatives proved to have potent antitumor activity in past research. The Topomer CoMFA and CoMSIA function in Sybyl-X 2.0 software was applied for the identification of important features of N-substituted tetrahydro-β-carboline-imidazolium salt derivative moieties. In the case of Topomer CoMFA, all the compounds were split into two f...
