登革病毒NS5 RdRp靶向抑制剂的3D-QSAR研究与分子设计

3D-QSAR Study and molecular Design of Dengue virus NS5 RdRp targeted inhibitors

  • 摘要: RNA依赖性RNA聚合酶(RdRp酶)在登革热病毒复制过程中起关键作用,是抗病毒药物研发的重要靶点. 研究采用人工智能方法构建DENV-4 RdRp/抑制剂的复合物结构,并通过分子对接获得31个化合物的活性构象. 随后,使用了比较分子力场分析(CoMFA)方法进行三维定量构效关系研究. 选取其中的25个化合物为训练集建立CoMFA模型,模型的交叉验证相关系数(q2)、非交叉验证相关系数(r2)与标准偏差(SEE)分别为0.777、0.993和0.129. 剩余的6个化合物的测试集预测相关系数(r2pred)为0.85,印证了模型的良好拟合能力与预测能力. 通过CoMFA等值面图,系统性地考察了化合物中立体化学场与静电场的关键结构特征. 并基于上述构效关系,设计了一系列具有预期良好活性的噻吩–联苯衍生物,为进一步优化RdRp抑制剂奠定了理论基础.

     

    Abstract: The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) plays a crucial role in dengue virus replication and serves as a key target for antiviral drug development. In this study, artificial intelligence methods were employed to construct the three-dimensional structure of the DENV-4 RdRp/inhibitor complex, followed by molecular docking to determine the active conformations of 31 compounds. Subsequently, Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA) was employed to establish a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) model. The CoMFA model derived from 25 training set compounds yielded a cross-validated coefficient (q2) of 0.777, a non-cross-validated correlation coefficient (r2) of 0.993, and a standard error of estimate (SEE) of 0.129. For the external test set of six compounds, the predictive correlation coefficient (r2pred) reached 0.85, indicating strong fitting accuracy and high predictive power. Analysis of CoMFA contour maps elucidated key structural determinants related to steric and electrostatic fields that influence inhibitory activity. Guided by these insights, a series of thiophene-biphenyl derivatives with promising predicted potency were rationally designed, offering a theoretical foundation for the further optimization of potent RdRp inhibitors.
