Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship of New 7-Oxycoumarin Derivatives As Potent and Selective Monoamine Oxidase A Inhibitors

摘要

New series of 4-methyl and 3,4-dimethyl-7-oxycoumarin derivatives showed in vitro high anity and selectivity toward MAO-A isoenzyme. To build the quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) between the molecular structures and the inhibitory of 32 compounds, and to further discuss the structural factors that influenced the selectivity of compounds. The topological, constitutional, geometrical, electrostatic and quantum-chemical descriptors of 32 compounds were calculated by CODESSA, and these descriptors were preselected with the heuristic method (HM). As a result, the four descriptor linear model was developed to describe the relationship between the molecular structures and the selectivity of MAO-A inhibitors. Based on the model, we can also designed new compounds with higher activities finally.
