CoMFA and CoMSIA Studies on Inhibitors of HIV-1 Integrase - Bicyclic Pyrimidinones by V. Radhika, S. Sree Kanth, M. Vijjulatha

“…To understand the structural requirements of HIV-1 integrase inhibitors and to design new ligands against human HIV-1 integrase with enhanced inhibitory potency, a 3D QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationship) study with comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) for a dataset of 35 bicyclic pyrimidinones which are inhibitors of human HIV-1 integrase was performed. QSAR models were computed with Sybyl. The 3D QSAR model showed very good statistical result, namely q2, r2 and r2pred values were high for both CoMFA and CoMSIA. …”
