Dragon method for finding novel tyrosinase inhibitors: Biosilico identification and experimental in vitro assays
QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationship) studies of tyrosinase inhibitors employing Dragon descriptors and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) are presented here. A data set of 653 compounds, 245 with tyrosinase inhibitory activity and 408 having other clinical uses were used. The active data set was processed by k-means cluster analysis in order to design training and prediction series. Seven LDA-based QSAR models were obtained. The discriminant functions applied showed a globally good classification of 99.79% for the best model Class=-96.067+1.988 x 10(2)X0Av +9 1.907 BIC3 + 6.853 CIC1 in the training set. External validation processes to assess the robustness and predictive pow…
Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-{[5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]sulfanyl}ethanone
The title heterocyclic compound is contains an oxadizole and two chloro-substituted phenyl rings. In the crystal, C—H⋯N hydrogen bonding links the molecules into undulating ribbons parallel to the b axis. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are the H⋯C (18%), H⋯H (17%), H⋯Cl (16.6%), H⋯O (10.4%), H⋯N (8.9%) and H⋯S (5.9%) interactions.
