PREDICTIVE QSAR MODELING OF PYRIDAZINYL DERIVATIVES USING K-NEAREST NEIGHBOR AND PHARMACOPHORE APPROACH

This study was carried out elucidate the structural properties required for pyridazinyl derivatives to exhibit angiotensin II receptor activity. The best 2D-QSAR model was selected, having correlation coefficient r2 = 0.8156, cross validated squared correlation coefficient q2 = 0.7348 and predictive ability of the selected model was also confirmed by leave one out cross validation method. Further analysis was carried out using 3D-QSAR method k-nearest neighbor molecular field analysis approach; a leave-one-out crossvalidated correlation coefficient of 0.7188 and a predictivity for the external test set (0.7613) were obtained. By studying the QSAR models, one can select the suitable substituent for active compound with maximum potency.
