Abstract
Aims: In this research, 3D-QSAR evaluation on a set of fresh purinoid compounds that we produced was conducted. This analysis aims to illustrate the correlation between the structure of purine and its ability to prevent platelet aggregation. Our findings could pave the way to discovering novel antithrombotic medications.
Background: The incidence of cardiovascular disease triggered by the clumping of platelets poses a significant danger to human health. Purine derivatives are important molecules with antiplatelet aggregation activity.
Objective: The objectives of this research are to establish the correlation between the structure of purine and its ability to prevent platelet aggregation. Such a correlation could aid in the development of innovative antithrombotic medications.
Methods: In this study, 3D-QSAR investigation on a collection of 75 new purine derivatives, which we synthesized, was conducted, utilizing Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA).
Results: Significant correlation coefficients (CoMFA, q2= 0.843, r2= 0.930, F value= 266.755, SEE= 0.165; CoMSIA, q2= 0.869, r2= 0.918, F value= 222.571, SEE= 0.179) were obtained, and assessed the model's predictive capabilities by validating it with the test set.
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that the introduction of an appropriately sized structure at position 2 of the compound yields significant benefits. Conversely, the attachment of an excessively large group is detrimental. Direct attachment of a bulky substituent at C-6 of the compound is not feasible, and its activity increases when the structure with low electron cloud density is added. Moreover, the presence of a voluminous functional group at the 5' position of the compound is advantageous, and its activity will be further increased by the presence of hydrogen bond receptors in this region. These discoveries furnish significant comprehension for the formation of innovative structures with heightened efficacy.
