QSAR analysis of indanone and aurone derivatives as acetylcholine esterase inhibitors
Abstract
QSAR analysis of indanone and aurone derivatives as AChE inhibitor has been performed using
various physicochemical parameters on Chem- Office software. Energy minimization was
carried out using molecular mechanics (MM2) force field and MOPAC. The biological activity
data were taken as negative logarithmic dose in moles (pIC50) for QSAR analysis. Sequential
multiple linear regression method was used to develop relationship between inhibitory activity
and physicochemical parameters, employing VALSTAT. The series was divided into a training
set of 23 compounds and test set of 9 compounds. Several equations were obtained, the
statistically significant equation was considered as best model. LUMO (Lowest Unoccupied
Molecular Orbital) energy, Diameter and Gibbs Free Energy (G) contributes the equation. The
model has correlation coefficient (r) of 0.873. The equation shows significance level more than
95% against tabulated value F=8.53, with a low standard deviation of estimation demonstrate
accuracy of the model.
