Abstract

From two QSAR studies realized with the PRECLAV computer program, the database of the series of aromatic benzene sulfonamides incorporating 1,3,5-triazine moieties derivative, give without outliers N = 59, Se = 0.2858, r 2 = 0.8734, r 2CV  = 0.8444, F = 74.5237. The virtual molecular fragments that lead to a significant increase of the inhibitor activity of CA IX are C3H2N5Cl, NH2, C3H5N6, CHO2, and C3HN6. The virtual fragment OH, C5H2NO, N atom, CHO2, C3HN6 leads to a significant decrease of the inhibitor activity value. The CA IX inhibitor activity is favorably influenced by the size of the molecule. With a view to external validation, the calibration set includes 46 molecules (Se = 0.234, r 2 = 0.9114, F = 84.3447, r 2CV  = 0.8872) and the validation set includes 13 molecules (Se = 0.279, r 2 = 0.8741, F = 56.9143, r 2CV  = 0.8246). Identification of molecules in validation set with high estimated value of inhibitory activity of CA IX is correct enough to have practical value, even if the calibration/validation set contains aromatic benzene sulfonamides incorporating 1,3,5-triazine moieties derivatives with very different chemical structures.
