Multiple R-groups (monovalent fragments) are implicitly accessible within most of the molecular structures that populate large structural databases. R-group searching would desirably consider pIC50 contribution forecasts as well as ligand similarities or docking scores. However, R-group searching, with or without pIC50 forecasts, is currently not practical. The most prevalent and reliable sourc...

A series of novel 3-(difluoromethyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid amides were synthesized and their activities were tested against seven phytopathogenic fungi by an in vitro mycelia growth inhibition assay. Most of them displayed moderate to excellent activities. Among them N-(2-(5-bromo-1H-indazol-1-yl)phenyl)-3-(difluoro-methyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide (9m) exhibited high...

A comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) of PU3 derivatives of Hsp90 (Heat shock protein 90) inhibitors has been performed to determine the factors contributing the corresponding activities. The energy minimized conformations were obtained by molecular mechanics using SYBYL package. The developed model, with r(2) value of 0.947, was verified by performing leave-one out (LOO) cross-validat...
