Popis: Cancer is a major life-threatening disease with a high mortality rate in many countries. Even though different therapies and options are available, patients generally prefer chemotherapy. However, serious side effects of anti-cancer drugs compel us to search for a safer drug. To achieve this target, Hsp90 (heat shock protein 90), which is responsible for stabilization of many oncoproteins in cancer cells, is a promising target for developing an anti-cancer drug. The QSAR (Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship) could be useful to identify crucial pharmacophoric features to develop a Hsp90 inhibitor. Therefore, in the present work, a larger dataset encompassing 1141 diverse compounds was used to develop a multi-linear QSAR model with a balance of acceptable predictive ability (Predictive QSAR) and mechanistic interpretation (Mechanistic QSAR). The new developed six-parameter model satisfies the recommended values for a good number of validation parameters such as R2tr = 0.78, Q2LMO = 0.77, R2ex = 0.78, and CCCex = 0.88. The present analysis reveals that the Hsp90 inhibitory activity is correlated with different types of nitrogen atoms and other hidden structural features such as the presence of hydrophobic ring/aromatic carbon atoms within a specific distance from the center of mass of the molecule, etc. Thus, the model successfully identified a variety of reported as well as novel pharmacophoric features. The results of QSAR analysis are further vindicated by reported crystal structures of compounds with Hsp90.
