Abstract
With a view to the rational design of selective quinoxaline derivatives, 2D and 3D-QSAR models have been developed for the prediction of anti-tubercular activities. Successful implementation of a predictive QSAR model largely depends on the selection of a preferred set of molecular descriptors that can signify the chemico – biological interaction. Genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA) are applied as variable selection methods for model development. 2D-QSAR modeling using GA or SA based partial least squares (GA-PLS and SA-PLS) methods identified some important topological and electrostatic descriptors as important factor for tubercular activity. Kohonen network and counter propagation artificial neural network (CP-ANN) considering GA and SA based feature selection methods have been applied for such QSAR modeling of Quinoxaline compounds. Out of a variable pool of 380 molecular descriptors, predictive QSAR models are developed for the training set and validated on the test set compounds and a comparative study of the relative effectiveness of linear and non-linear approaches has been investigated. Further analysis using 3D-QSAR technique identifies two models obtained by GA-PLS and SA-PLS methods leading to anti-tubercular activity prediction. The influences of steric and electrostatic field effects generated by the contribution plots are discussed. The results indicate that SA is a very effective variable selection approach for such 3D-QSAR modeling.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
