Molecular modeling on structure-function analysis of human progesterone receptor modulators.

ABSTRACT: Considering the significance of progesterone receptor (PR) modulators, the present study is explored to envisage the biophoric signals for binding to selective PR subtype-A using ligand-based quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) and pharmacophore space modeling studies on nonsteroidal substituted quinoline and cyclocymopol monomethyl ether derivatives. Consensus QSAR models (Training set (Tr): n(Tr)=100, R(2) (pred)=0.702; test set (Ts): n(Ts)=30, R(2) (pred)=0.705, R(2) (m)=0.635; validation set (Vs): n(Vs)=40, R(2) (pred)=0.715, R(2) (m)=0.680) suggest that molecular topology, atomic polarizability and electronegativity, atomic mass and van der Waals volume of the ligands have influence on the presence of functional atoms (F, Cl, N and O) and consequently contribute signif
