The three dimensional quantitative structure activity relationship (3D QSAR) models were developed using Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA), comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) and docking studies. The fit of Quinazolinone antifolates inside the active site of modeled bovine dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) was assessed. Both ligand based (LB) and receptor based (RB) QSAR models were generated, these models showed good internal and external statistical reliability that is evident from the $q^2_{loo}$, $r^2_{ncv}$ and $r^2_{pred}$. The identified key features enabled us to design new Quinazolinone analogues as DHFR inhibitors. This study is a building bridge between docking studies of homology modeled bovine DHFR protein as well as ligand and target based 3D QSAR techniques of CoMFA and CoMSIA approaches.

Comparison studies of the Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) methods with new imidazo-quinolinedione derivatives were conducted using Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA), Comparative Molecular Similarity Indices Analysis (CoMSIA), and the Hologram Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (HQSAR). When the CoMFA crossvalidation value, q2, was 0.625, the Pearson correlation coefficient, r2, was 0.973. In CoMSIA, q2 was 0.52 and r2 was 0.979. In the HQSAR, q2 was 0.501 and r2 was 0.924. The best result was obtained using the CoMSIA method according to a comparison of the calculated values with the real in vitro cytotoxic activities against human ovarian cancer cell lines.

Corticotropin-releasing factor receptors (CRFRs) activate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which is an integral part of the fight or flight response to stress. Increase in CRH level is observed in Alzheimer's disease and major depression and hypoglycemia. Here, we report on the relevant physicochemical parameters required for the CRFR inhibitors. Comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) was performed with the derivatives of 8-substituted-2-aryl-5-alkylaminoquinolinesas CRFR inhibitors. The best predictions were obtained for the best CoMSIA model with a $q^2$ of 0.576 with 6 components and $r^2$ of 0.977. The statistical parameters from the generated CoMSIA models indicated that the data are well fitted and have high predictive ability. CoMSIA contour maps could be useful in the designing of more potent and novel CRFR derivatives.

Caspases, a family of cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteases plays a central role in the regulation and the execution of apoptotic cell death. Activation of caspases-3 stimulates a signaling pathway that ultimately leads to the death of the cell. Hence, caspase-3 has been proven to be an effective target for reducing the amount of cellular and tissue damage. In this work, comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) was performed on a series of 3,4-dihydropyrimidoindolones derivatives which are inhibitors of caspase-3. The best predictions were obtained for CoMSIA model ($q^2$ = 0.586, $r^2$ = 0.955). The predictive ability of test set ($r^2_{pred}$) was 0.723. Statistical parameters from the generated QSAR models indicated the data is well fitted and have high predictive ability. Our theoretical results could be useful to design novel and more potent caspase-3 derivatives.

Chemoattractant Receptor Homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTh2) is a chemoattractant receptor with seven transmembrane helices targeted for inflammatory diseases such as asthma and allergic rhinitis. In this study, pharmacophore based Comparative Molecular Similarity Indices Analysis (CoMSIA) were performed on the series of 2-(2-(benzylthio)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl) acetic acids derivatives. Initially, GASP module was used for generation of pharmacophore models using five highly active compounds from the dataset. Among the generated pharmacophores, the best pharmacophore model was selected based on fitness score and was used as template for the alignment of compounds which was used for CoMSIA analysis. The best predictions were obtained utilizing steric, hydrophobic and H-bond acceptor parameters showing a $q^2$=0.559 and $r^2$=0.730. 15 test set compounds was used to investigate the predictive ability of the CoMSIA model. Contour maps suggested that presence of bulky substituents and H-bond acceptor atoms at $5^{th}$ position of benzene ring will increase the activity of the compounds. The results obtained from this study will be useful to design more potent CRTh2 antagonists.

To find a new substance with superior melanogenesis inhibitory activity, the bioactivities of alkyl-3,4-dihydroxy-5-substituted benzoate (A) and N-alkyl-3,4-dihydroxy-5-substituted benzamide (B) derivatives as substrate of tyrosinase were measured in mouse melanoma cells. And the bioactivities analyzed using comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA). From the CoMSIA model, when cross-validation value (q$^2$) is 0.713 at four components, the pearson correlation coefficient ($r^2$) is 0.900. Unknown compounds were predicted, using QSAR analyzed results from the CoMSIA methods. Excellent agreement was obtained between the measured and the predicted bioactivities of unknown compounds. As the results of prediction from CoMSIA, we could conclude that the bioactivities were increased from pl$_{50}$=3.18-4.80 to above 5.17 by creation of 6-methylheptyl, n-pentylphenyl and 2-hydroxypentylphenyl group etc,.,.

Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) were performed on 60 PPAR-g agonists. Partial Least Squars (PLS) analysis produced good predicted models with $q^2$ value of 0.62 (SDEP=0.33, F value=93.22, $r^2$=0.92) and 0.56 (SDEP=0.47 F value=27.65, $r^2$=0.86), respectivly. The key spatial properties were detected by careful analysis of the isocontour maps.
