Combined Target-Based and Ligand-Based Drug Design Approach as a Tool To Define a Novel 3D-Pharmacophore Model of Human A3 Adenosine Receptor Antagonists: Pyrazolo[4,3-e]1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine Derivatives as a Key Study
摘要:
A combined target-based and ligand-based drug design approach has been carried out to define a novel pharmacophore model of the human A(3) receptor antagonists. High throughput molecular docking and comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) have been used in tandem to assemble a new target based pharmacophore model. In parallel, to provide more accurate information about the putative binding site of these A(3) inhibitors, a rhodopsin-based model of the human A(3) receptor was built and a novel Y-shape binding motif has been proposed. Docking-based structure superimposition has been used to perform a quantitative study of the structure-activity relationships for binding of these pyrazolo-triazolo-pyrimidines to adenosine A(3) receptor using CoMFA. Both steric and the electrostatic contour plots obtained from the CoMFA analysis nicely fit on the hypothetical binding site obtained by molecular docking. On the basis of the combined hypothesis, we have designed, synthesized, and tested 17 new derivatives. Consistently, the predicted K-i values were very close to the experimental values.

The application of a 3D-QSAR (autoMEP/PLS) approach as an efficient pharmacodynamic-driven filtering method for small-sized virtual library: Application to a lead optimization of a human A3 adenosine receptor antagonist
We have recently reported that the combination of molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface properties (autocorrelation vectors) with the conventional partial least squares (PLS) analysis can be used to produce a robust ligand-based 3D structure-activity relationship (autoMEP/PLS) for the prediction of the human A(3) receptor antagonist activities. Here, we present the application of the 3D-QSAR (autoMEP/PLS) approach as an efficient and alternative pharmacodynamic filtering method for small-sized virtual library. For this purpose, a small-sized combinatorial library (841 compounds) was derived from the scaffold of the known human A(3) antagonist pyrazolo-triazolo-pyrimidines. The most interesting analogues were further prioritized for synthesis and pharmacological characterization. Remarkably, we have found that all the newly synthetized compounds are correctly predicted as potent human A(3) antagonists, In particular, two of them are correctly predicted as sub-nanomolar inhibitors of the human A3 receptor.
