Abstract
Drug design is a process which begins with a compound that displays an interesting
biological profile and ends with optimizing both the activity profile for the molecule. The process
is initiated when the chemist conceives a hypothesis which relates the chemical features of the
molecule (or series of molecules) to the biological activity. Study of Quantitative structural
activity relationships (QSAR) is an important aspect of computational chemistry for optimizing
the structural features to obtain better activity. Present research work focuses on in-silico drug
design studies of novel indole derivatives containing pteridine and benzimidazole moieties.
These studies include QSAR (Quantitative structure activity relationship) and QSTR
(Quantitative Structure Toxicity Relationship) and are carried out using different software’s
namely DS Viewer Pro suite, Accord for Excel (v6.1) and TOPKAT (v6.2). All the software’s
were obtained from Accelrys Discovery studio. In-silico pharmacokinetic studies implied that
these derivatives had no CYP4502D6 inhibitions, no BBB penetration and good oral absorptions.
QSTR (Quantitative Structure Toxicity Relationship) studies by using TOPKAT (v6.1) in various
computational animal models showed high LD50 values and the compounds are found to be
noncarcenogenic.
