Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship Study of Camptothecin Derivatives as Anticancer Drugs Using Molecular Descriptors

Combinatorial Chemistry & High Throughput Screening, 2019

Aim and Objective:A Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) has been widely developed to derive a correlation between chemical structures of molecules to their known activities. In the present investigation, QSAR models have been carried out on 76 Camptothecin (CPT) derivatives as anticancer drugs to develop a robust model for the prediction of physicochemical properties.Materials and Methods:A training set of 60 structurally diverse CPT derivatives was used to construct QSAR models for the prediction of physiochemical parameters such as Van der Waals surface area (SvdW), Van der Waals Volume (VvdW), Molar Refractivity (MR) and Polarizability (α). The QSAR models were optimized using Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) analysis. A test set of 16 compounds was evaluated using the defined models.:The Genetic Algorithm And Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (GA-MLR) were used to select the descriptors derived from the Dragon software to generate the correlation models that re...

The knowledge of Structure–Activity Relationship (SAR), together with the generation of QSAR, constitutes a large body of evidence that may assist in the development of new molecules with excellent biological activity and low toxicity. The camptothecin (CPT) analogues are emerging as a promising group of chemotherapeutic agents. The SAR of these molecules provide insight into the mechanism of topoisomerase I inhibition and help in the synthesis of various CPT analogues by modifying the different rings of the original CPT molecule, giving each analogue a unique property. Here we have demonstrated the Comparative Molecular Force field Analysis (CoMFA) QSAR models for ABC-ring, CD-ring and E-ring substitution of CPT in comparison with the traditional 2D-QSAR model. The 3D-QSAR model gave convincing (standard deviation) r 2 values of 0.99, 0.99 and 0.996 as against 2D-QSAR r 2 values of 0.83, 0.97 and 0.90 for ABC-Ring, CD-Ring and E-Ring analogues, respectively. In this model special emphasis was given to the contribution of steric and electrostatic force fields in predicting biological activity of CPT derivatives and they were found to improve the QSAR model and make it more precisely predictive.

ANN-QSAR model for selection of anticancer leads from structurally heterogeneous series of compounds

European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2007

Developing a model for predicting anticancer activity of any classes of organic compounds based on molecular structure is very important goal for medicinal chemist. Different molecular descriptors can be used to solve this problem. Stochastic molecular descriptors so-called the MARCH-INSIDE approach, shown to be very successful in drug design. Nevertheless, the structural diversity of compounds is so vast that we may need non-linear models such as artificial neural networks (ANN) instead of linear ones. SmartMLP-ANN analysis used to model the anticancer activity of organic compounds has shown high average accuracy of 93.79% (train performance) and predictability of 90.88% (validation performance) for the 8:3-MLP topology with different training and predicting series. This ANN model favourably compares with respect to a previous linear discriminant analysis (LDA) model [H. González-Díaz et al., J. Mol. Model 9 (2003) 395] that showed only 80.49% of accuracy and 79.34% of predictability. The present SmartMLP approach employed shorter training times of only 10 h while previous models give accuracies of 70–89% only after 25–46 h of training. In order to illustrate the practical use of the model in bioorganic medicinal chemistry, we report the in silico prediction, and in vitro evaluation of six new synthetic tegafur analogues having IC50 values in a broad range between 37.1 and 138 μg mL−1 for leukemia (L1210/0) and human T-lymphocyte (Molt4/C8, CEM/0) cells. Theoretical predictions coincide very well with experimental results.

Analogue-based approaches in anti-cancer compound modelling: the relevance of QSAR models

Organic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2011

Background QSAR is among the most extensively used computational methodology for analogue-based design. The application of various descriptor classes like quantum chemical, molecular mechanics, conceptual density functional theory (DFT)- and docking-based descriptors for predicting anti-cancer activity is well known. Although in vitro assay for anti-cancer activity is available against many different cell lines, most of the computational studies are carried out targeting insufficient number of cell lines. Hence, statistically robust and extensive QSAR studies against 29 different cancer cell lines and its comparative account, has been carried out. Results The predictive models were built for 266 compounds with experimental data against 29 different cancer cell lines, employing independent and least number of descriptors. Robust statistical analysis shows a high correlation, cross-validation coefficient values, and provides a range of QSAR equations. Comparative performance of each c...

Activity and toxicity modelling of some NCI selected compounds against leukemia P388ADR cell line using genetic algorithm-multiple linear regressions

Journal of King Saud University - Science, 2018

Cancer-causing nature is one of the toxicological endpoints bringing about the most elevated concern. Likewise, the standard bioassays in rodents used to survey the cancer-mitigating capability of chemicals and medications are expensive and require the sacrifice of animals. Thus, we have endeavored the development of a worldwide QSAR model utilizing an information set of 85 compounds, including drugs for their anti-leukemia potential. Considering expansive number of information focuses with different structural elements utilized for model development (ntraining = 68) and model validation (ntest = 17), the model developed in this study has an encouraging statistical quality (leave-one-out Q2 = 0.833, R2pred = 0.716) for pLC50 and (leave-one-out Q2 = 0.744, R2pred = 0.614) for pGI50. Our developed model suggests that the absence of methanal fragments, low dipole moment and presence of some 2D autocorrelated molecular descriptors reduces the carcinogenicity. Branching, size and shape are found to be crucial factors for drug-mitigating carcinogenicity.

Insilico modelling of quantitative structure–activity relationship of pGI50 anticancer compounds on K-562 cell line

Cogent Chemistry

The pGI 50 cytotoxicity values of 112 compounds on K-562 cancer cell line were modelled in order to illustrate the quantitative structure-activity relationship of the compounds. The data set were divided into training and test set through Kennardstone algorithm, while the pool of molecular descriptors calculated with paDEL descriptor metric program was subjected to genetic functional algorithm for selection of descriptor to be modeled. The statistical significance of the model was verified by calculating the values of Q 2 LOO (0.845), Q 2 F1 (0.9397), Q 2 F2 (0.6862) and R 2 pred (0.6862) needed to evaluate the strength and robustness of the model. The result of the internal and external validation of the model indicates that the model is good and could be used to predict the GI 50 of anticancer compounds on K-562 leukemia cell line.

Development of linear and nonlinear predictive QSAR models and their external validation using molecular similarity principle for anti-HIV indolyl aryl sulfones

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2008

Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies have been carried out on indolyl aryl sulfones, a class of novel HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, using physicochemical, topological and structural parameters along with appropriate indicator variables. The statistical tools used were linear methods (e.g., stepwise regression analysis, partial least squares (PLS), factor analysis followed by multiple regression (FA-MLR), genetic function approximation combined with multiple linear regression (GFA-MLR) and GFA followed by PLS or G/PLS and nonlinear method (artificial neural network or ANN). In case of physicochemical parameters, GFA-MLR generated the best Equation (n ¼ 97, R 2 ¼ 0.862, Q 2 ¼ 0.821). Using topological parameters, the best Equation (based on leave-one-out Q 2) was obtained with stepwise regression technique (n ¼ 97, R 2 ¼ 0.867, Q 2 ¼ 0.811). When topological and physicochemical parameters were used in combination, statistical quality increased to a great extent (n ¼ 97, R 2 ¼ 0.891, Q 2 ¼ 0.849 from stepwise regression). Furthermore, the whole dataset had been divided into test (25% of whole dataset) and training (remaining 75%) sets. Models were developed based on the training set and predictive potential of such models was checked from the test set. The selection of the training set was based on K-means clustering of the standardized descriptors (topological and physicochemical). In this case also the best results were obtained with stepwise regression (n ¼ 72, R 2 ¼ 0.906, Q 2 ¼ 0.853) but external predictive capacity of this model (R 2 pred ¼ 0:738) was inferior to the model developed from GFA-MLR technique (R 2 ¼ 0.883, Q 2 ¼ 0.823, R 2 pred ¼ 0:760). However, the squared regression coefficient between observed activity and predicted activity values of the test set compounds for the best linear model, i.e., GFA-MLR (r 2 ¼ 0.736) was lower in comparison to the best nonlinear model developed using artificial neural network (r 2 ¼ 0.781). Thus, based on external validation, the ANN models were superior to the linear models. The predictive potential of the best linear Equation (stepwise regression model) was superior to that of the previously published CoMFA (Q 2 ¼ 0.81, SDEP Test ¼ 0.89) on the same data set (Ragno R. et al., J Med Chem 2006, 49, 3172-3184). Furthermore, the physicochemical parameter based models also supported the previous observations based on docking (Ragno R. et al.,

Prediction of anticancer molecules using hybrid model developed on molecules screened against NCI-60 cancer cell lines

BMC cancer, 2015

In past, numerous quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) based models have been developed for predicting anticancer activity for a specific class of molecules against different cancer drug targets. In contrast, limited attempt have been made to predict the anticancer activity of a diverse class of chemicals against a wide variety of cancer cell lines. In this study, we described a hybrid method developed on thousands of anticancer and non-anticancer molecules tested against National Cancer Institute (NCI) 60 cancer cell lines. Our analysis of anticancer molecules revealed that majority of anticancer molecules contains 18-24 carbon atoms and are dominated by functional groups like R2NH, R3N, ROH, RCOR, and ROR. It was also observed that certain substructures (e.g., 1-methoxy-4-methylbenzene, 1-methoxy benzene, Nitrobenzene, Indole, Propenyl benzene) are more abundant in anticancer molecules. Next, we developed anticancer molecule prediction models using various machine-l...
