Abstract
In this paper we study different representational spaces of molecule data sets based on 2D representation models for the building of QSAR models for the prediction of the activity of 37 benzylamino enaminone derivatives. Approximations based on classical similarity calculated from fingerprint representation of molecules and isomorphism obtained using sub-graph matching algorithms are compared to fragmentation-based approximations using partial least squares and genetic algorithms. The influence of the anchored position of a non-common moiety and the kind of substituents in the common core structure of the data set are analysed, demonstrating the anomalous behaviour of some molecules and therefore the difficulty in building prediction models. These problems are solved by considering approximate similarity models. These models tune the prediction equations based on the size of the substituent and the anchored position, by adjusting the contribution of each substituent in similarity measurements calculated between the molecule data sets.

Abstract
Inhibition of checkpoint kinase-1 (Chk1) by small molecules is of great therapeutic interest in the field of oncology and for understanding cell-cycle regulations. This paper presents a model with elements from docking, pharmacophore mapping, the 3D-QSAR approaches CoMFA, CoMSIA and CoRIA, and virtual screening to identify novel hits against Chk1. Docking, 3D-QSAR (CoRIA, CoMFA and CoMSIA), and pharmacophore studies delineate crucial site points on the Chk1 inhibitors, which can be modified to improve activity. The docking analysis showed residues in the proximity of the ligands that are involved in ligand–receptor interactions, whereas CoRIA models were able to derive the magnitude of these interactions that impact the activity. The ligand-based 3D-QSAR methods (CoMFA and CoMSIA) highlight key areas on the molecules that are beneficial and (or) detrimental for activity. The docking studies and 3D-QSAR models are in excellent agreement in terms of binding-site interactions. The pharmacophore hypotheses validated using sensitivity, selectivity, and specificity parameters is a four-point model, characterized by a hydrogen-bond acceptor (A), hydrogen-bond donor (D), and two hydrophobes (H). This map was used to screen a database of 2.7 million druglike compounds, which were pruned to a small set of potential inhibitors by CoRIA, CoMFA, and CoMSIA models with predicted activity in the range of 8.5–10.5 log units.

Abstract
Developing chemicals that inhibit checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) is a promising adjuvant therapeutic to improve the efficacy and selectivity of DNA-targeting agents. Reliable prediction of binding-free energy and binding affinity of Chk1 inhibitors can provide a guide for rational drug design. In this study, multiple docking strategies and Prime/Molecular Mechanics Generalized Born Surface Area (Prime/MM-GBSA) calculation were applied to predict the binding mode and free energy for a series of benzoisoquinolinones as Chk1 inhibitors. Reliable docking results were obtained using induced-fit docking and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) docking, which showed superior performance on both ligand binding pose and docking score accuracy to the rigid-receptor docking. Then, the Prime/MM-GBSA method based on the docking complex was used to predict the binding-free energy. The combined use of QM/MM docking and Prime/MM-GBSA method could give a high correlation between the predicted binding-free energy and experimentally determined pIC(50) . The molecular docking combined with Prime/MM-GBSA simulation can not only be used to rapidly and accurately predict the binding-free energy of novel Chk1 inhibitors but also provide a novel strategy for lead discovery and optimization targeting Chk1.
