Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship of the 4,5α-Dihydrotestosterone Steroid Family
2006
Predictive Quantitative Structure - Activity Relationship (QSAR) models of Anabolic/ Androgenic (A/A) activities for the 4,5a-dihydrotestosterone steroid family were obtained by means of multilinear regression using quantum and physicochemical Molecular Descriptors (MDs) as well as a genetic algorithm for the selection of the best subset of MDs. MDs included in our QSAR models allow the structural interpretation of the biological process, evidencing the main role of the shape of molecules, hydrophobicity, and electronic properties. Attempts were made to include lipophilicity (octanol-water partition coefficient) as well as electronic (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital properties and dipol…

The great cost associated with the development of new anabolic-androgenic steroid (AASs) makes necessary the development of computational methods that shorten the drug discovery pipeline. Toward this end, quantum, and physicochemical molecular descriptors, plus linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were used to analyze the anabolic/androgenic activity of structurally diverse steroids and to discover novel AASs, as well as also to give a structural interpretation of their anabolic-androgenic ratio (AAR). The obtained models are able to correctly classify 91.67% (86.27%) of the AASs in the training (test) sets, respectively. The results of predictions on the 10% full-out cross-validation test al…
