In the present study, we have employed the ligand-based drug design technique, 3D-QSAR, through a comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and a comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) to determine the key factors for the plant growth promoting activity of brassinosteroids reported in literature, using the bean second-internode bioassay measured on two groups of compounds...

Design of selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors is still a challenging task because of active site similarities between COX isoenzymes. To help with this issue, we tried to generate a 3D-QSAR (3 dimensional quantitative structure activity relationships) model that might reflect the essential features of COX-2 active sites. Compounds in a series of resveratrol derivatives inhibitors with...

The p38α mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) has become an attractive target for the treatment of many diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn's disease. In this paper, 3D-QSAR and molecular docking studies were performed on 59 p38α MAPK inhibitors. Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA)...

Androgen receptor antagonists have been proved to be effective anti-prostate cancer agents. 3D-QSAR and Molecular docking methods were performed on curcumin derivatives as androgen receptor antagonists. The bioactive conformation was explored by docking the potent compound 29 into the binding site of AR. The constructed Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA) and Comparative Similarity Ind...

For the first time, a set of experimentally reported [60] fullerene derivatives were subjected to the 3D-QSAR/CoMFA and CoMSIA studies. The aim of this study is to propose a series of novel [60] fullerene-based inhibitors with optimal binding affinity for the HIV-1 PR enzyme. The position of the template molecule at the cavity of HIV-1 PR was optimized and 3D QSAR models were developed. Relativ...

Human estrogen receptor (ER) isoforms, ERα and ERβ, have long been an important focus in the field of biology. To better understand the structural features associated with the binding of ERα ligands to ERα and modulate their function, several QSAR models, including CoMFA, CoMSIA, SVR, and LR methods, have been employed to predict the inhibitory activity of 68 raloxifene derivatives. In the SVR ...

a series of 42 pyrazolo[4,3-h]quinazoline-3-carboxamides as multi-cyclin-dependent kinaseinhibitors regarded as promising antitumor agents to complement the existing therapies, wassubjected to a three-dimensional quantitative activity relationship (3d qsar). different qsarmethods, comparative molecular field analysis (comfa), comfa region focusing, andcomparative molecular similarity indices an...

Abstract Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a promising target for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Under crizotinib treatment, drug resistance and progressive disease appeared after point mutations arising in domain ALK. Second-generation ALK inhibitors can solve deficiencies first generation, especially cancer chemotherapy. Ceritinib (LDK378), pyrimidine derivative, example, inhi...
