title: Three-dimensional quantitative structure activity relationships (3-D-QSAR) of antihyperglycemic agents.
abstract: A three-dimensional quantitative structure activity relationship study (3-D-QSAR) was performed on a set of thiazolidinedione antihyperglycemic agents using the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) method. The CoMFA models were derived from a training set of 53 compounds. Fifteen compounds, which were not used in model generation were used to validate the CoMFA models. All the compounds were superimposed to the template structure by atom-based and shape-based strategies. The SYBYL QSAR rigid body field fit was also used for aligning the ligands. A total of twelve different alignments were generated. The resulting models exhibited a good cross-validated r2cv values (0.624-0.764) and the conventional r2 values (0.689-0.921). A more robust cross-validation test using cross-validation by 2 groups (leave half out method) was performed 100 times to ascertain the predictiveness of the CoMFA models. The mean of r2cv values from 100 runs ranged from 0.611-0.690. Few models exhibited good external predictivity. These models were then used to define a hypothetical receptor model for antihyperglycemic agents.
