Ligand-based Virtual screening using Fuzzy Correlation Coefficient
نویسندگان
چکیده
Selection and identification of a subset of compounds from libraries or databases, which are likely to possess a desired biological activity is the main target of ligand-based virtual screening approaches. The main challenge of such approaches is achieving of high recall of active molecules. In this paper we presented fuzzy correlation coefficients (FCC), which is used as a similarity coefficient. The new approach is based on mutually dependent between molecular features, while most common approaches (Tanimoto, Bayesian and other coefficients) based on mutually independent between features. Our experiments have shown that the new coefficient increases the recall of active molecules in high diversity database compared with other correlation coefficients and Tanimoto.

متن کاملDiscovery of Novel Glucagon Receptor Antagonists Using Combined Pharmacophore Modeling and Docking
Glucagon and the glucagon receptor are most important molecules control over blood glucose concentrations. These two molecules are very important to studies of type 2 diabetic patients. In literature, several classes of small molecule antagonists of the human glucagon receptor have been reported. Glucagon receptor antagonist could decrease hepatic glucose output and improve glucose control in d...

متن کاملPharmacophore Based Virtual Screening Approach to Identify Selective PDE4B Inhibitors
Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) has been established as a promising target in asthma andchronic obstructive pulmonary disease. PDE4B subtype selective inhibitors are known toreduce the dose limiting adverse effect associated with non-selective PDE4B inhibitors. Thismakes the development of PDE4B subtype selective inhibitors a desirable research goal. Toachieve this goal, ligand based pharmacophore m...
