Quantum mechanics and 3D-QSAR studies on thienopyridine analogues: inhibitors of IKK?.

ABSTRACT: Inhibitor of kappa B kinase subunit ? (IKK?) is a main regulator of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-?B) and has received considerable attention as an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of lung cancer or other inflammatory disease. A group of diversified thienopyridine derivatives exhibited a wide range of biological activity was used to investigate its structural requirements by using DFT and 3D-Quantitative structure activity relationship. Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) were established using the experimental activity of thienopyridine derivatives. The cross-validation coefficient (q2) values for CoMFA and CoMSIA are 0.671 and 0.647 respectively, were achieved, demonstrating high predictive capability of the model. The contour analysis indicate that presence of hydrophobic and electrostatic field is highly desirable for biological activity. The results indicate that substitution of hydrophobic group with electron withdrawing effect at R4 and R6 position have more possibility to increase the biological activity of thienopyridine derivatives. Subsequently molecular docking and DFT calculation were performed to assess the potency of the compounds.
