Abstract
Automated docking and three-dimensional Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship studies (3D QSAR) were performed for a series of 82 reversible, competitive and selective acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. The suggested automated docking technique, making use of constraints taken from experimental crystallographic data, allowed to dock all the 82 substituted N-benzylpiperidines to the crystal structure of mouse AChE, because of short computational times. A 3D QSAR model was then established using the CoMFA method. In contrast to conventional CoMFA studies, the compounds were not fitted to a reference molecule but taken in their 'natural' alignment obtained by the docking study. The established and validated CoMFA model was then applied to another series of 29 N-benzylpiperidine derivatives whose AChE inhibitory activity data were measured under different experimental conditions. A good correlation between predicted and experimental activity data shows that the model can be extended to AChE inhibitory activity data measured on another acetylcholinesterase and/or at different incubation times and pH level.
