Abstract
In the present work, QSAR model was derived by multiple linear regression method for the prediction of anticancer activity of 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid derivatives against the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. The QSAR model for anti-proliferative activity against MCF-7 showed high correlation (r2=0.90 and rCV2=0.83) and indicated that chemical descriptors namely, dipole moment (debye), steric energy (kcal/mole), heat of formation (kcal/mole), ionization potential (eV), LogP, LUMO energy (eV) and shape index (basic kappa, order 3) correlate well with activity. The QSAR virtually predicted that active derivatives were first semi-synthesized and characterized on the basis of their 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data and then were in-vitro tested against MCF-7 cancer cell line. In particular, octylamide derivative of glycyrrhetinic acid GA-12 has marked cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 similar to that of standard anticancer drug paclitaxel. The biological assays of active derivative selected by virtual screening showed significant experimental activity.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
