In silico predicative studies for cytotoxic potential of NSAIDs using self-organizing molecular field analysis.
Antiproliferative potential of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has generated an immense interest among the scientific fraternity to assess its broader role in the chemoprevention of colon cancer. Due to serious adverse events associated with the chemotherapy, NSAIDs have been exploited as adjuvants to synergize the cytotoxic potential of conventional chemotherapeutic agents at low-dose regimens. The present investigation has been focused on in silico model generation for in vitro cytotoxicity activity of the clinically active NSAIDs using self-organizing molecular field analysis (SOMFA) studies. A statistically validated robust model for a diverse group of NSAIDs having flexibility in structure and cytotoxicity activity was obtained using SOMFA. The statistical measures having good cross-validated correlation coefficient r                 (2)                 (cv) (.8291), noncross-validated correlation coefficient r                 (2) values (.8686), and high F test value (41.8722) proved significance in the generated model. Analysis of 3-dimensional quantitative structure activity relationship (3D-QSAR) models through electrostatic and shape grids provided additional valuable information regarding shape and electrostatic potential influence on in vitro cytotoxicity profile. The analysis of SOMFA results provided a better insight about the generation of molecular architecture of novel NSAIDs yet to be synthesized, with optimum in vitro cytotoxicity activity and improved therapeutic profile.
