title: Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) of HIV integrase inhibitors: a comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) study.
abstract: We present the results from a comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) of a set of flavone analogs that inhibit HIV-1 integrase-mediated cleavage (3'-processing step) and integration (strand transfer step) in vitro. The results indicate a strong correlation between the inhibitory activity of these flavones and the steric and electrostatic fields around them. CoMFA quantitative structure-activity relationship models with considerable predictive ability (cross-validated r2 as high as 0.8) were obtained.
