Abstract: Using a combination of both the partial least squares (PLS) and back-propagation artificial neural network (ANN) pattern recognition methods, several models have been developed to predict the activity of a series of arylidenaminoguanidine analogs as inhibitory modulators of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor complex. This was done by correlating structural and physicochemical descriptors obtained from computation software with the experimentally observed [(3)H]MK-801 displacement ability of a small library of synthesized and in vitro screened arylidenaminoguanidines. Results for the generated PLS model were r(2)=0.814, rmsd=0.208, rCV(2)=0.714, loormsd=0.261. The ANN model was created utilizing the eleven descriptors from the PLS model for comparison. The quality of the ANN model (r(2)=0.828, rmsd=0.200, rCV(2)=0.721, loormsd=0.257) is similar to the PLS model, and indicates that the feature between the inputs and the output is majorly linear. These computational models were able to predict inhibition of the NMDA receptor complex by this series of compounds in silico, affording a predictive structure-based 'pre-screening' paradigm for the arylideneaminoguanidine analogs.
