The three dimensional-quantitative structure activity relationship (3D-QSAR) studies were performed on a series of falcipain-3 inhibitors using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) techniques. A training set containing 42 molecules served to establish the QSAR models. The optimum CoMFA and CoMSIA models obtained for the training set were statistically significant with cross-validated correlation coefficients rcv2 (q2) of 0.549 and 0.608, and conventional correlation coefficients (r2) of 0.976 and 0.932, respectively. An independent test set of 12 molecules validated the external predictive power of both models with predicted correlation coefficients (rpred2) for CoMFA and CoMSIA as 0.697 and 0.509, respectively. The docking of inhibitors into falcipain-3 active site using GOLD software revealed the vital interactions and binding conformation of the inhibitors. The CoMFA and CoMSIA field contour maps agree well with the structural characteristics of the binding pocket of falcipain-3 active site, which suggests that the information rendered by 3D-QSAR models and the docking interactions can provide guidelines for the development of improved falcipain-3 inhibitors.
3D-QSAR study with CoMFA and CoMSIA methods was carried out on a series of 2-pyrimidinecarbonitrile derivatives that exhibit activity against falcipain-3. The 3D-QSAR models demonstrated good predictive ability and some key structural factors responsible for antimalarial activity. Molecular docking revealed key interactions between falcipain-3 and inhibitors.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
