Pharmacophore model generation & ligand based 3d-qsar Study and design of novel biphenyl derivatives of Benzimidazole as anti-mycobacterial agents
With the aim of designing new chemical entities with enhanced inhibitory potencies against lessThan i greaterThan Mycobacterium tuberculosis lessThan /i greaterThan , the 3D-QSAR studies were carried out on biphenyl analogues of the tuberculosis drug, (6S)-2-nitro-6-{[4-trifluoromethoxy)benzyl]oxy}-6, 7-dihydro-5H-imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]oxazine (PA-824), as presented here. The 3D-QSAR studies involve analysis of the quantitative relationship between the biological activity of a set of compounds and their three-dimensional structural properties, using statistical correlation methods. Anti-mycobacterial activity (MABA) was considered for the 3D-QSAR studies using the pharmacophore modelling. The hypothesis model results were found statistically significant (q lessThan sup greaterThan 2 lessThan /sup greaterThan greaterThan 0.7 and r lessThan sup greaterThan 2 lessThan /sup greaterThan greaterThan 0.8). Based on the findings of the 3D-QSAR model and structural insights, a series of new biphenyl derivatives of benzimidazole were designed and the anti-mycobacterial activities of the designed compounds were predicted. The analysis of pharmacophore generated has provided many clues about the structural requirement for the observed biological activity which shows that the electron-withdrawing groups at the terminal aryl rings are favorable for MABA inhibitory activity i.e., the addition of electron-withdrawing groups at this site will lead to increased MABA inhibition To add further, the OH, NH lessThan sub greaterThan 2 lessThan /sub greaterThan and CONH lessThan sub greaterThan 2 lessThan /sub greaterThan Ph groups should be avoided at para position and lipophilicity is significant factor for further improvement.
