Abstract: | Tariquidar (XR9576) analogs, modulators of cancer multidrug resistance (MDR), were subjected to QSAR and 3D-QSAR analyses. The structural features contributing to anti-MDR activity were identified by the Free-Wilson analysis and pharmacophore search using Hoechst 33342 as a template. 3D-QSAR CoMFA and CoMSIA models were derived and tested. The best models yielded an external predictivity of 0.66-0.75 squared correlation coefficient and outlined HB-acceptor, steric, and hydrophobic fields as the most important 3D properties. On the basis of the QSAR and 3D-QSAR analyses it was suggested that the strong inhibitory potency of the compounds studied is related to the presence of a bulky aromatic ring system with a 3rd positioned heteroatom toward the anthranilamide nucleus in the opposite end of the tetrahydroquinoline group. The results can help in directing the rational design of new generations of potent P-glycoprotein MDR modulators. |
