Objective: Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have four essential pharmacophores as cap group, connecting unit, a linker moiety and zinc binding group for their anticancer and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition activity. On the basis of this fact, the objective of this research was to evaluate the exact role of pyrazole nucleus as connecting unit and its role in the development of newer HDACi.
Methods: Ligand and structure-based computer-aided drug design strategies such as pharmacophore and atom based 3D QSAR modelling, molecular docking and energetic based pharmacophore mapping have been frequently applied to design newer analogs in a precise manner. Herein, we have applied these combinatorial approaches to develop the structure-activity correlation among novel pyrazole-based derivatives.
Results: the Pharmacophore-based 3D-QSAR model was developed employing Phase module and e-pharmacophore on compound 1. This 3D-QSAR model provides fruitful information regarding favourable and unfavourable substitution on pyrazole-based analogs for HDAC1 inhibition activity. Molecular docking studies indicated that all the pyrazole derivatives bind with HDAC1 proteins and showed critical hydrophobic interaction with 5ICN and 4BKX HDAC1 proteins.
Conclusion: The outcome of the present research work clearly indicated that pyrazole nucleus added an essential hydrophobic feature in cap group and could be employed to design the ligand molecules more accurately.
