The superposition procedure of the MTD method was used to define the probable active conformation. Conformational energies and log Poct values were also calculated using HyperChem2 and Chemicalc-2. A correlational equations were set up using d, D and D 2 ‐with da 1 for OH groups in favourable position and D‐the distance between the gravity centre of the hydrophobic moiety and the osmophoric OH-group. The MTD method was used only for a series of Na 15 rigid molecules, because a too large number of vertices for the whole series appear. Eighter central values or intervals were used as biologic activities. The d, D and D 2 ‐ equations set up for Na 31 molecules allow a good classification of the training set and also of the rest of molecules, considered as test set. An osmophoric receptor with a hydrophylic part (2 or 3 OH-groups) and a relatively large hydrophobic pocket is suggested, which produces also some steric misfit with regard to these molecules.","PeriodicalId":20818,"journal":{"name":"Quantitative Structure-activity Relationships","volume":"35 1","pages":"253-261"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85291699","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}

However, because the hashing process unnecessarily obfuscates PLS regression modelling, we suggest that PLS should preferentially be applied to unhashed fragment bit-strings where computationally feasible. The predictive ability of the method is also affected by the size of the fragments that are used, although this effect appears to be dataset-dependent.

The approach identifies and quantifies similar global and local stereoelectronic characteristics associated with active ligands through a comparison of energeticallyreasonable conformer distributions for selected descriptors. For each stereoelectronic descriptor selected, discrete conformer distributions from a training set of ligands are evaluated and parameter ranges common for conformers from all the chemicals in the training set are identified. The use of discrete partitions of parameter ranges to define common reactivity patterns can, however, influence the outcome of the algorithm. To address this limitation, the original method has been extended by approximating continuous conformer distributions as probability distributions. The COREPA-Continuous (COREPA-C) algorithm assesses the common reactivity pattern of biologicallysimilar molecules in terms of a product of probability distributions, rather than a collection of common population ranges determined by examination of discrete partitions of a distribution. To illustrate the algorithm, common reactivity patterns based on interatomic distance and charge on heteroatoms were developed and evaluated using a set of 28 androgen receptor ligands. Notable attributes of the COREPA-C algorithm include flexibility in establishing stereoelectronic descriptor criteria for identifying active and nonactive compounds and the ability to quantify threedimensional chemical similarity without the need to predetermine a toxicophore or align compounds(s) to a lead ligand.","PeriodicalId":20818,"journal":{"name":"Quantitative Structure-activity Relationships","volume":"162 1 1","pages":"139-153"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83835602","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}

Retinoids, natural and synthetic analogues of vitamin A, are activating ligands for Retinoic Acid Receptors (RAR α, β and γ), members of the nuclear receptor superfamily. A QSAR study provides information on the type of intermolecular and intramolecular interactions the active molecules are exposed to during the course of their interaction with the receptor. Retinoid structures were modelled both by molecular and quantum mechanics and were submitted to a preliminary conformational analysis based on molecular dynamics. Linear and non-linear multivariate analyses were performed, revealing the principal electronic and structural characteristics leading to good affinity for each RAR subtype. Distinct structural features were found for each subtype: this is in agreement with the fact that the selectivity of the RAR subtypes results from the change of amino acids in the ligand cavity. Indeed, these amino-acids induce subtle changes in terms of steric properties and specific interactions, thus engendering specificity. The predictive ability of these relationships has been validated using a large set of compounds which were not used to derive the model. The goal this of work was to detect relationships between structures and affinity for a broad range of retinoids in order that this model could be used in a more general manner, for example to impose constraints in database searching, or for use in automatic structure generation software.","PeriodicalId":20818,"journal":{"name":"Quantitative Structure-activity Relationships","volume":"13 1","pages":"107-123"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90112548","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}
