Close attention has been paid to the prediction and molecular mechanisms of estrogen activity for estrogen compounds. In this article, estrogen receptor α subtype (ERα)–based comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (COMSIA) was performed on 44 estrogen compounds with structural diversity to find out the structural relationship with the activity and to predict the activity. The model with the significant correlation and the best predictive power (R2 = 0.965, Q2LOO = 0.599, R2pred = 0.825) was achieved. The COMSIA and docking results revealed the structural features for estrogen activity and key amino acid residues in binding pocket, and provided an insight into the interaction between the ligands and these amino acid residues.展开更多

A new three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) analysis is performed to correlate the molecular fields with percent inhibition values. METHODS: Three predictive models were derived based on 36 previously reported COMT inhibitors employing comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) methodologies. RESULTS: The CoMFA model and CoMSIA model with steric and electrostatic field yielded cross-validated rcv2 0.585 and 0.528 respectively, whereas the conventional rncv2 were 0.979 and 0.891. The CoMSIA model with hydrophobic field exhibited rcv2 0.544 and rncv2 0.930. CONCLUSION: The derived models from CoMFA and CoMSIA all exhibit good prediction for both internal and external validations. The individual inspection of 3D contours generated from these models helps in understanding the possible region for structural modification of molecules to improve the inhibitory bioactivity. The 3D-QSAR models may be useful in designing and predicting novel COMT inhibitors.展开更多
