A heterogeneous data set of 19 selective and non-selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors was used. Affinity data for both the serotonin transporter and the norepinephrine transporter was available. As a necessary prerequisite for our 3D QSAR studies a reasonable alignment of the compounds was developed using GASP. It was based on an existing pharmacophore model. In addition to the widely used CoMFA method, the somewhat newer CoMSIA method was applied. Statistically reliable CoMFA models for both the serotonin transporter (q 2 =0.538) and the norepinephrine transporter (q 2 =0.445) were developed, further improving the internal predictability by applying region focusing for the serotonin transporter (q 2 =0.674). These models were compared with the CoMSIA models for the serotonin and the norepinephrine transporter that yielded comparable cross-validated correlation coefficients (q 2 =0.531 and q 2 =0.502, respectively). Certain structural features that are distinctive of each transporter and important for high binding affinity were identified. Highly comparable results were obtained for CoMFA and CoMSIA. Both methods were applied to elucidate structural requirements for serotonin transporter selectivity. The resulting CoMSIA map provides important information for lead optimization with respect to selectivity enhancement.","PeriodicalId":20818,"journal":{"name":"Quantitative Structure-activity Relationships","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75521210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Enthalpies of reaction (ΔH r ), changes in the electron density at the O-H bond critical point (ρ O H ) and total atomic charges of ortho and para carbon atoms strongly correlate with the in vitro inhibition of cyclooxygenase activity by phenols. The most active compounds have large values of the electron density at the O-H bond (ρ O H ), thus favouring the O-H bond dissociation. In contrast, inactive compounds have small values of the electron density at the O-H bond (ρ O H ), thus reducing the hydrogen donation ability. These results are also supported by the representation of the molecular electrostatic potentials maps. The prediction of the cyclooxygenase inhibitory activity of the proposed QSAR equations is analysed using the multilineal (MLR) method. Finally, the differences in biological activity are examined by analysing the binding interactions of active compounds in the pocket site of human COX-2 enzyme structure derived from crystallographic X -ray data.","PeriodicalId":20818,"journal":{"name":"Quantitative Structure-activity Relationships","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84926385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new Distance Profiles (DiP) descriptor was applied to two data sets which were previously studied with various 3D-QSAR techniques. DiP compares favorably to the other descriptors for these two data sets and obtains better models in both cases. Since DiP is used in combination with variable selection to achieve interpretability, special emphasize was put on validating the derived models. Avoiding overfitted models was accomplished by constraining the maximum number of variables allowed to select, and by using leave-50%-out cross-validation instead of leave-one-out cross-validation as objective function in variable selection. Furthermore, the derived models were validated with a permutation test where the entire variable selection procedure is repeated each time the response data are scrambled.","PeriodicalId":20818,"journal":{"name":"Quantitative Structure-activity Relationships","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90858340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Molecules with known transport mechanisms other than passive transport were removed from the dataset. The human intestinal absorption data were fitted to symmetric and asymmetric sigmoidal curves and surfaces that were based on the arctangent function. The descriptors employed in the models are the sum of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors and the calculated SlogP octanol-water partition coefficient. Despite the simplicity of the model, the quality of fits and predictions is comparable to more complex approaches. As descriptors and predicted values can be calculated rapidly, the method is ideally suited for qualitative predictions for large virtual libraries and the results from de novo design.","PeriodicalId":20818,"journal":{"name":"Quantitative Structure-activity Relationships","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74549197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
