Topochemical models for prediction of anti-tumor activity of 3-aminopyrazoles

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2005 Jun;53(6):611-5. doi: 10.1248/cpb.53.611.

Abstract

Relationship between topochemical indices and inhibition of CDK2/cyclin A by 3-aminopyrazoles was investigated using a data set comprising of 42 3-aminopyrazoles. Three topochemical indices--the Wiener's topochemical index--a distance based topochemical index, atomic molecular connectivity index--an adjacency based topochemical index and superadjacency topochemical index--an adjacency-cum-distance based topochemical index were used for the present investigations. The values of Wiener's topochemical index, atomic molecular connectivity index and superadjacency topochemical index for each of the 42 compounds comprising the data set were computed using an in-house computer program. Resultant data was subsequently analyzed and suitable models were developed after identification of the active ranges. Subsequently, a biological activity was assigned to each of the compounds using these models, which was then compared with the reported CDK2/cyclin A inhibitory activity. High accuracy of prediction ranging from 86 to 89% was observed using these models.
