| Abstract | Artemisinin antimalarials are the frontline and effective drugs used worldwide for the treatment of deadly Plasmodium falciparum malaria. But the recent reports of artemisinin resistance have created the urgent need to discover new molecules against single and multidrug-resistant strains of P. falciparum. In this background, we have developed here 2D-quantitative structure–activity relationship (2D-QSAR) and 3D-pharmacophore models using aminothiazole and aminopyridine compounds for their activity against multidrug-resistant strain (k1) of P. falciparum. Based on the internal (Q 2), external (R pred 2 ), overall validation ( $$\overline{{r_{m(Overall)}^{2} }}$$ ) metrics, and number of descriptors used for model development, a QSAR equation developed from a genetic function algorithm having both linear and spline terms was found to be the best model (Q 2 = 0.675; R pred 2 = 0.720; $$\overline{{r_{m(Overall)}^{2} }}$$ = 0.617). The pharmacophore models were developed in order to unveil the structural requirements for the activity, and to classify the compounds into more active and less active antimalarials against the multidrug-resistant strain (k1) of P. falciparum. The best pharmacophore model (Hypo-1) with a correlation coefficient of 0.932 showed one hydrogen bond acceptor, one hydrophobic aliphatic, and two ring aromatic features as the essential structural requirements for the antimalarial activity. The pharmacophore model (Hypo-1) also shows 86.00 % correct classification of more active compounds of the test set against the multidrug-resistant (k1) strain of P. falciparum. Both the models could be utilized further for the prediction of antimalarial potency of aminothiazole and aminopyridine compounds against multidrug-resistant P. falciparum. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
