In order to search new inhibitors against farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase), a series of 2,3-bis-benzylidenesuccinaldehyde derivatives (1-29) were synthesized and their inhibition activities ($pI_{50}$) against FPTase were measured. From based on the reported results that the inhibitory activities of dimers 2,3-bis-benzylidenesuccinaldehydes were higher than those of monomers cinnamaldehydes, 3D-QSARs on FPTase inhibitory activities of the dimers (1-29) were studied quantitatively using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) methods. The statistical qualities of the optimized CoMFA model II ($r^2{_{cv.}}$= 0.693 and $r^2{_{ncv.}}$= 0.974) was higher than those of the CoMSIA model II ($r^2{_{cv.}}$ = 0.484 and $r^2{_{ncv.}}$ = 0.928). The dependence of CoMFA models on chance correlations was evaluated with progressive scrambling analyses. And the inhibitory activity exhibited a strong correlation with steric factors of the substrate molecules. Therefore, from the results of graphical analyses on the contour maps and of predicted higher inhibitory active compounds, it is suggested that the structural distinctions and descriptors that contribute to inhibitory activities ($pI_{50}$) against FPTase will be able to applied new inhibitor design.

두 점박이 응애(Tetranychus urticae)에 대한 N'-phenyl-N-methylformamidine 유도체(1-22)의 살충활성에 관한 치환기 ($R_1{\sim}R_4$)들의 영향을 이해하기 위하여 3차원적인 정량적 구조-활성관계(3D-QSAR) 모델인 비교분자장분석(CoMFA) 모델 및 비교분자 유사성지수분석(CoMSIA) 모델을 유도하고 정량적으로 검토하였다. 그 결과로부터 CoMFA 1 모델의 예측성 및 상관성($r^2{_{cv.}}=0.575$ 및 $r^2{_{ncv.}}=0.945$)이 가장 양호하였다. 또한, 순자혼합화 분석으로부터 CoMFA 1 및 CoMSIA 1 모델($d_q{^{2'}}/dr^2{_{yy}}=1.071{\sim}1.146$ 및 $q^2=0.545{\sim}0.626$)은 우연상관성에 저촉되지 않는 최적화 모델이었다. 최적화된 CoMFA 1 모델로 부터 두 점박이 응애에 대한 N'-phenyl-N-methylformamidine 유도제들의 저해활성에 관한 기여비율은 입체장 62.5%, 정전기장 28.9% 및 소수성장 8.6% 이었다. 그러므로 CoMFA 1 모델에 의한 살충활성은 입체장에 의존적이었다. 또한, 최적화 모델들의 등고도로부터 살충활성에 기여하는 구조적인 특징들은 새로운 살충제들을 설계하는데 적용할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

c-Jun N-terminal kinase-3 (JNK-3) has been shown to mediate neuronal apoptosis and make the promising therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and other CNS disorders. In order to better understand the structural and chemical features of JNK-3, comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) was performed on a series of 3,5-disubstituted quinolines derivatives. The best predictions were obtained CoMFA model ($q^2$=0.707, $r^2$=0.972) and the statistical parameters from the generated 3D-QSAR models were indicated that the data are well fitted and have high predictive ability. The resulting contour map from 3D-QSAR models might be helpful to design novel and more potent JNK3 derivatives.

Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that has recently emerged as a promising target in drug discovery. It is involved in multiple cellular processes and associated with the pathogenesis of several diseases. A three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) analysis was performed on a series of GSK-3 inhibitors to understand the structural basis for inhibitory activity. Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) method was used to derive 3D-QSAR models. A reliable CoMFA model was developed using ligand-based alignment scheme. The model produced statistically acceptable results with a cross-validated correlation coefficient ($q^2$) of 0.594 and a non-cross-validated correlation coefficient ($r^2$) of 0.943. Robustness of the model was checked by bootstrapping and progressive scrambling analysis. This study could assist in the design of novel compounds with enhanced GSK-3 inhibitory activity.

Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a nuclear enzyme involved in various physical functions related to genomic repair, and PARP inhibitors have therapeutic application in a variety of neurological diseases. Docking and the QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationships) studies for 52 PARP-1 inhibitors were conducted using FlexX algorithm, comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA), and hologram quantitative structure-activity relationship analysis (HQSAR). The resultant FlexX model showed a reasonable correlation (r$^{2}$ = 0.701) between predicted activity and observed activity. Partial least squares analysis produced statistically significant models with q$^{2}$ values of 0.795 (SDEP=0.690, r$^{2}$=0.940, s=0.367) and 0.796 (SDEP=0.678, r$^{2}$ = 0.919, s=0.427) for CoMFA and HQSAR, respectively. The models for the entire inhibitor set were validated by prediction test and scrambling in both QSAR methods. In this work, combination of docking, CoMFA with 3D descriptors and HQSAR based on molecular fragments provided an improved understanding in the interaction between the inhibitors and the PARP. This can be utilized for virtual screening to design novel PARP-1 inhibitors.

To search the minimum structural requirement of tricyclic isoxazole analogues (1~30) as new class potent antidepressant, thee-dimensional quanti- tative-structure relationship (3D-QSAR) models between substituents ($R_1{\sim}R_5$) of tricyclic isoxazoles and their antidepressant activity against medetomidine-induced loss of righting were performed and discussed quantitatively using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indies analysis (CoMSIA) methods. The correlativity and predictability ($r^2$=0.484 and $q^2$=0.947) of CoMSIA-2 model were higher than those of the rest models. The inhibitory activity against medetomidine-induced loss of righting was dependent on electrostatic field (43.4%), hydrophobic field (35.3%), and steric field (21.2%) of tricyclic isoxazoles. From the CoMSIA-2 contour maps, it is predicted that the antidepressant activity of potent antidepressants against medetomidine-induced loss of righting will be able to increase by the substituents ($R_1{\sim}R_5$) which were in accord with CoMSIA field.

The three dimensional-quantitative structure activity relationship (3D-QSAR) studies on chemical features of pyridine-2-amines in the external region of c-Met active site (ER chemical features of pyridine-2-amines) were conducted by docking, comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA), and topomer CoMFA methods. The CoMFA model obtained the partial least-squares (PLS) statistical results, cross-validated correlation coefficient ($q^2$) of 0.703, non cross-validated correlation coefficient ($r^2$) of 0.947 with standard error of estimate (SEE) of 0.23 and the topomer CoMFA obtained $q^2$ of 0.803, $r^2$ of 0.940, and SEE of 0.24. Further, the test set was applied to validate predictive abilities of models, where the predictive $r^2$ ($r{^2}_{pred}$) for CoMFA and topomer CoMFA models were 0.746 and 0.608, respectively. Each contribution of ER chemical features of pyridine-2-amines to the inhibitory potency showed correlation coefficients, $r^2$ of 0.670 and 0.913 for two core parts, 3-(benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)pyridine-2-amine and 3-(1-(2,6-dichloro-3-fluorophenyl)ethoxy) pyridine-2-amine, respectively, with corresponding experimental $pIC_{50}$.

5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor ($5-HT_7R$) 7 is one of G-Protein coupled receptors, which is activated by the neurotransmitter Serotonin. After activation by serotonin, $5-HT_7$ activates the production of the intracellular signaling molecule cyclic AMP. $5-HT_7$ receptor has been found to be involved in the pathophysiology of various disorders. It is reported that $5-HT_7$ receptor antagonists can be used as antidepressant agents. In this study, we report the important structural and chemical parameters for 2-methoxyphenylpiperazinylakanamides as $5-HT_7R$ inhibitors. A 3D QSAR study based on comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) was performed. The best predictions were obtained for the best CoMFA model with $q^2$ of 0.594 with 6 components, $r^2$ of 0.986, Fisher value as 60.607, and an estimated standard error of 0.043. The predictive ability of the test set was 0.602. Results obtained the CoMFA models suggest that the data are well fitted and have high predictive ability. The contour maps are generated and studied. The contour analyses may serve as tool in the future for designing of novel and more potent $5-HT_7R$ derivatives.

The (c-Jun N-terminal kinase 3) JNK3 is a potential therapeutic target for various neurological disorders. Here, a three dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) study on phenoxypyridine as JNK3 inhibitors was performed to rationalize the structural requirements responsible for the inhibitory activity of these compounds. The comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) using different partial atomic charges, was employed to understand the structural factors affecting JNK3 inhibitory potency. The Gasteiger-Marsili yielded a CoMFA model with cross-validated correlation coefficient ($q^2$) of 0.54 and non-cross-validated correlation coefficient ($r^2$) of 0.93 with five components. Furthermore, contour maps suggested that bulky substitution with oxygen atom in $R^3$ position could enhance the activity considerably. The work suggests that further chemical modifications of the compounds could lead to enhanced activity and could assist in the design of novel JNK3 inhibitors.
