Pharmacophore Fingerprinting. 1. Application to QSAR and Focused Library Design
Abstract
A new method of rapid pharmacophore fingerprinting (PharmPrint method) has been developed. A basis set of 10,549 three-point pharmacophores has been constructed by enumerating several distance ranges and pharmacophoric features. Software has been developed to assign pharmacophoric types to atoms in chemical structures, generate multiple conformations, and construct the binary fingerprint according to the pharmacophores that result. The fingerprint is used as a descriptor for developing a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model using partial least squares. An example is given using sets of ligands for the estrogen receptor (ER). The result is compared with previously published results on the same data to show the superiority of a full 3D, conformationally flexible approach. The QSAR model can be readily interpreted in structural/chemical terms. Further examples are given using binary activity data and some of our novel in-house compounds, which show the value of the model when crossing compound classes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
