Abstract:

Cannabinoid type Ⅰ receptor(CB1) antagonists offer a new approach to treat obesity and problems related to obesity such as diabetes and cardiometabolic risks. Pharmacophore models were developed via Discovery Studio V2.5 with a training set of 92 CB1 agonists and a test set of 39 compounds. The best hypothesis consisting of five features, namely, a hydrogen bond acceptors, a hydrophobic and two ring aromatic features, has a correlation coefficient of 0.921, a cost difference of 119.132, the root mean square(RMS) of 0.730, and a configuration cost of 16.1229, suggesting that a highly predictive pharmacophore model was successfully obtained. The application of the model shows great success in predicting the activities of the near 450 known CB1 agonists in 12 structural types and provides a guide to design new CB1 antagonists.
