Title: Comparative 3D QSAR study on β(1)-, β(2)-, and β(3)-adrenoceptor agonists.
Authors: Senthil Kumar P, Bharatam PV.
Abstract: A quantitative structure-activity relationship study of tryptamine-based derivatives of β(1)-, β(2)-, and β(3)-adrenoceptor agonists was conducted using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA). Correlation coefficients (cross-validated r(2)) of 0.578, 0.595, and 0.558 were obtained for the three subtypes, respectively, in three different CoMFA models. All three CoMFA models have different steric and electrostatic contributions, implying different requirements inside the binding cavity. The CoMFA coefficient contour plots of the three models and comparisons among these plots provide clues regarding the main chemical features responsible for the biological activity variations and also result in predictions which correlate very well with the observed biological activity. Based on the analysis, a summary regeospecific description of the requirements for improving β-adrenoceptor subtype selectivity is given.
