title: Three-dimensional quantitative structure: activity relationship studies on diverse structural classes of HIV-1 integrase inhibitors using CoMFA and CoMSIA.
abstract: Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA), three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) techniques, were applied to a set of 89 HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors (training set=61, test set=28), belonging to 11 structurally different classes. The biological data for 3' processing mechanism were used. For CoMFA calculations, three different fitting methods for alignment process were investigated. The best CoMFA model yielded the cross-validated r(2) r(2)(cv) =0.698 and the non-cross-validated r(2) (r(2))=0.947. The derived model indicated the importance of steric (60.8%) as well as electrostatic (39.2%) contributions. For CoMSIA calculations, different combinations of the fields were tested. The best CoMSIA model gave r(2)(cv) =0.724 and r(2)=0.864. This model showed that steric (30.3%), hydrogen bond donor (43.4%) and hydrogen bond acceptor (26.3%) properties played major roles in HIV-1 IN inhibition. The mapping of hydrogen bond interaction fields with the HIV-1 IN active site gave details on hydrogen bond forming between ligands and enzyme. These obtained results agree well with the experimental observations that there should be hydrogen bond interactions between ligands and Glu152, Lys156 and Lys159 residues. The results not only lead to a better understanding of structural requirements of HIV-1 IN inhibitors but also can help in the design of new IN inhibitors.
