Abstract

With the purpose of designing novel chemical entities with improved inhibitory potencies against drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the 3D- quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) studies were carried out on biphenyl analogs of the tuberculosis (TB) drug, PA-824. Anti-mycobacterial activity (MABA) was considered for the 3D-QSAR studies using the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) approaches. The best CoMFA and CoMSIA models were found statistically significant with cross-validated coefficients (q2) of 0.784 and 0.768, respectively, and conventional coefficients (r2) of 0.823 and 0.981, respectively. The cross-validated and the external validation results revealed that both the CoMFA and CoMSIA models possesses high accommodating capacities and they would be reliable for predicting the pMIC values of new PA-824 derivatives. Based on the models and structural insights, a series of new PA-824 derivatives were designed and the anti-mycobacterial activities of the designed compounds were predicted based on the best 3D-QSAR model. The predicted data results suggest the designed compounds are more potent than existed ones.
