摘要

Mutation of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) which is frequently found in certain cancers such as glioma, sarcoma and acute myeloid leukemia, has been proven to be a potent drug target for cancer therapy. In silico methodologies such as 3D-QSAR and molecular docking were performed to explore compounds with better mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (MIDH1) inhibitory activity using a series of 40 newly reported 1-hydroxypyridin-2-one compounds as MIDH1 inhibitors. The satisfactory CoMFA and CoMSIA models obtained after internal and external cross-validation gave q(2) values of 0.691 and 0.535, r(2) values of 0.984 and 0.936, respectively. 3D contour maps generated from CoMFA and CoMSIA along with the docking results provided information about the structural requirements for better MIDH1 inhibitory activity. Based on the structure-activity relationship, 17 new potent molecules with better predicted activity than the most active compound in the literature have been designed.
