Quantitative structure-activity relationship study was used to investigate the relationship between anti-PfDHFR activity and structure of twenty-eight 1,3,5-triazine derivatives. We performed benchmark studies on the molecular geometry, electron properties of 1,3,5-triazine using semi-empirical(PM3), density functional theory and post Hartree-Fock methods. Followed by a QSAR study using multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural networks (ANN). The QSAR models developed allow identify/describe the relationship between the biological activity of the molecules and their molecular descriptors (topological, physicochemical, electronic...). A further external set of compounds was used for validation where a high correlation between experimental and predicted anti-PfDHFR activity values is noticed. This QSAR study provides useful information for developing novel PfDHFR inhibitors. The set’s ADME properties and drug similarities, as well as newly produced compounds and reference ligand, were investigated. These findings would be extremely useful in guiding optimization for the development of new anti-PfDHFR drug candidates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
