Mapping and Fitting the Peripheral Benzodiazepine Receptor Binding Site by Carboxamide Derivatives. Comparison of Different Approaches to Quantitative Ligand−Receptor Interaction Modeling
electrostatic contribution to the interaction (CoMFA, CoMSIA, and surface approaches) perform well, but they do not improve the quantitative models. Moreover, useful hints for the identification of the antagonist bindingsite in the three-dimensional modeling of the receptor (direct approach) were provided by the receptor hypothesis derived by the pharmacophoric approach. The ligand-receptor complexes
