The 3-D QSAR study of anticancer 1-N-substituted imidazo- and pyrrolo-quinoline-4,9-dione derivatives by CoMFA and CoMSIA

The 3-D QSAR analysis with new imidazo- and pyrrolo-quinolinedione derivatives was conducted by Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA) and Comparative Molecular Similarity Indices Analysis (CoMSIA). When crossvalidation value (q(2)) is 0.844 at four components, the Pearson correlation coefficient (r(2)) of the CoMFA is 0.964. In the CoMSIA, q(2) is 0.709 at six components and r(2) is 0.969. Unknown samples were analyzed, using QSAR analyzed results from the CoMFA and CoMSIA methods. Excellent agreement was obtained between, with an error range of 0.01-0.15 the calculated values and measured in vitro cytotoxic activities against human lung A-549 cancer cell lines.
