| Abstract | The reversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) has become a promising target for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) which is mainly associated with low in vivo levels of acetylcholine (ACh). The availability of AChE crystal structures with and without a ligand triggered the effort to find a structure-based design of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) for AD. The major problem observed with the structure-based design was the feeble robustness of the scoring functions toward the correlation of docking scores with inhibitory potencies of known ligands. This prompted us to develop new prediction models using the stepwise regression analysis based on consensus of different docking and their scoring methods (GOLD, LigandFit, and GLIDE). In the present investigation, a dataset of 91 molecules belonging to 9 different structural classes of heterocyclic compounds with an activity range of 0.008 to 281,000 nM was considered for docking studies and development of AChE-specific 3D-QSAR models. The model (M1) developed using consensus of docking scores of scoring functions viz. Glide score, Gold score, Chem score, ASP score, PMF score, and DOCK score was found to be the best (R(2) = 0.938, Q(2) = 0.925, R(pred)(2) = 0.919, R(2)m((overall)) = 0.936) compared to other consensus models. Docking studies revealed that the molecules with proper alignment in the active site gorge and the ability to interact with all the crucial amino acid residues, in particular by forming π-π stacking interactions with Trp84 at the catalytic anionic site (CAS) and Trp279 at peripheral anionic site (PAS), showed augmented potencies with consequent improvement in patient cognition and reduced the formation of senile plaques associated with AD. Further, the descriptors that signify the association of the ligands with the receptor as well as ADME properties of the ligands were also analyzed by means of the set of ligands that have been pre-positioned with respect to a receptor after docking analysis and considered as independent variables to generate a linear model (M3 and M4) using a stepwise multiple linear regression method to get additional insight into the physicochemical requirements for effective binding of ligands with AChE as well as for prediction of AChE inhibition. The developed AChE-specific prediction models (M1-M4) satisfactorily reflect the structure-activity relationship of the existing AChEIs and have all the potential to facilitate the process of design and development of new potent AChEIs. |

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.
