Abstract

AbstractA blend of genetic algorithm with multiple linear regression (GA-MLR) method was utilized in generating a quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) model on the antimalarial activity of aryl and aralkyl amine-based triazolopyrimidine derivatives. The structures of derivatives were optimized using density functional theory (DFT) DFT/B3LYP/6–31 + G* basis set to generate their molecular descriptors, where two (2) predictive models were developed with the aid of these descriptors. The model with an excellent statistical parameters; high coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.8884, cross-validated R2 (Q2cv) = 0.8317 and highest external validated R2 (R2pred) = 0.7019 was selected as the best model. The model generated was validated through internal (leave-one-out (LOO) cross-validation), external test set, and Y-randomization test. These parameters are indicators of robustness, excellent prediction, and validity of the selected model. The most relevant descriptor to the antimalarial activity in the model was found to be GATS6p (Geary autocorrelation—lag 6/weighted by polarizabilities), in the model due to its highest mean effect. The descriptor (GATS6p) was significant in the in-silico design of sixteen (16) derivatives of aryl and aralkyl amine-based triazolopyrimidine adopting compound DSM191 with the highest activity (pEC50 = 7.1805) as the design template. The design compound D8 was found to be the most active compound due to its superior hypothetical activity (pEC50 = 8.9545).
