Description

The Structural-Activity Relationship (SAR) investigates the connection between a molecule's biological activity and its Three-Dimensional (3D) structure. To help you speed up your drug development process, Creative Biolabs offers custom SAR and QSAR model creation services. In general, if a hit's structure is known, the hit's biological effects can be anticipated using data from other related substances. This is based on the fact that structurally related molecules can share physical and biological properties. In order to find binding site interactions, computational chemistry and molecular modeling applications are used.

In drug discovery and development, SAR is quite useful. It is used in the discovery and development of novel compounds as well as the assessment of current chemicals' potential health hazards. SAR analysis, for example, allows researchers to determine which chemical groups are significant in eliciting a desired action in a living creature. By modifying the chemical structure of a bioactive substance or inserting new chemical groups, this determination permits rational adjustment of the action or improvement of potency. Similar data from the most sensitive toxicological endpoints, such as carcinogenicity or cardio toxicity, might be employed in the risk assessment process. The quantitative SAR (QSAR) model is a subset of SAR (when a ssociations are quantified), and it ties a collection of "predictor" variables (X) to the potency of the response variable (Y) in order to predict chemical activity. Researchers may forecast the level of biological activity or potency using the novel methodologies, whi ch go beyond just classifying structures as "active" or "inactive."

Based on predictor variales QSAR are divided into

1D-QSAR: pKa, log P, and other molecular characteristics are used to correlate molecular activity.

2D-QSAR: Activity correlation with structural 2D patterns such as connection indices and 2D-pharmacophores.

3D-QSAR: Activity is linked to the non-covalent interaction fields that surround molecules.

4D-QSAR: In 3D-QSAR, the ensemble of ligand confirgurations is also included.

5D-QSAR: In 4D-QSAR, different induced-fit models are explicitly represented.

6D-QSAR: In 5D-QSAR, alternative solvation models are also incorporated.

To assist you in obtaining the finest QSAR models for the hit to lead process, Creative Biolabs has created numerous QSAR approaches.

Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA)

It was the first 3D-QSAR approach to be employed, and it has been a valuable tool for decades. Cut-offs (30 kcal/mol) are used to change the steric and electrostatic values based on the position of the lattice point. At each grid point, CoMFA generates an equation that links biological activity to the contrib ution of the interaction energy field.

Comparative molecular surface analysis (CoMSA)

CoMSA is a non-grid 3D-QSAR method that uses the molecular surface to mark specific locations defined on the surface using mean electrostatic potentials. The molecules in this method are subjected to shape optimization and partial atomic charge assignment using the data set.

Hologram QSAR (HQSAR)

HQSAR is a two-dimensional QSAR method that was used to study a variety of structurally different compounds with known PPB. The models were used to predict fragment-based structure-activity relationships, and they proved to be very accurate. It can help with the development of new, structurally related medications. QSAR datasets, QSAR models, and QSAR forecasts are all organised more efficiently using Creative Biolabs. You can work more efficiently and successfully with ourone-stop service.
