Human protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibitors: QSAR by genetic function approximation

Abstract

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP 1B), a negative regulator of insulin receptor signaling system, has emerged as a highly validated, attractive target for the treatment of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and obesity. As a result there is a growing interest in the development of potent and specific inhibitors for this enzyme. This quantitative structureactivity relationship (QSAR) study for a series of formylchromone derivatives as PTP 1B inhibitors was performed using genetic function approximation (GFA) technique. The QSAR models were developed using a training set of 29 compounds and the predictive ability of the QSAR model was evaluated against a test set of 7 compounds. The internal and external consistency of the final QSAR model was 0.766 and 0.785. The statistical quality of QSAR models was assessed by statistical parameters r 2 , r ) and lack of fit (LOF) measure. The results indicate that PTP 1B inhibitory activity of the formylchromone derivatives is strongly dependent on electronic, thermodynamic and shape related parameters.

Steroidal 5α-Reductase Inhibitors: A Comparative 3D-QSAR Study Review

“…Steroidal inhibitors in a data set that does not exhibit a definite spectrum of inhibitory potential against steroidal 5α-reductase were also not considered in the study. To arrange data in a linear and ascending manner, negative logarithms of inhibitory activities were taken against both isoforms of 5α-reductase. , …”

Chemometrics tools in QSAR/QSPR studies: A historical perspective

“…adrenoceptors [469], Human protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibitors [470], potent human protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors [471], some thiourea derivatives as influenza virus neuraminidase inhibitors [472] and also predicting the ecotoxicity of ionic liquids [473]. The potential of GFA makes this algorithm as an interesting option of utilization in a lot of QSAR/QSPR reports during these years [74,469,.…”

3D-QSAR studies on unsaturated 4-azasteroids as human 5α-reductase inhibitors: A self organizing molecular field analysis approach

“…The negative logarithm of ratio of IC 50 of the inhibitor to the IC 50 of the reference compound reported in the literature [19] against human 5a-reductase enzyme (actual activity) was used as dependent variable [30], thus correlating the data linear to the free energy changes. Only those molecules which showed significant activity/inhibition were included in the present SOMFA studies.…”
