Abstract: The quantitative structure-activity relationship(QSAR) of a series of combretastatin analogues with ring B modification was studied. The two dimensional structure-activity relationship was carried out by genetic function analysis(GFA) method. The results indicate that Apol, PMI-mag, Dipole-mag, Hbond donor, and RadOfGyration descriptors contributed significantly to the activities. Furthermore, a three dimensional structure-activity was performed via comparative molecular field analysis(CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis(CoMSIA). An analyses of CoMFA and CoMSIA models resulted in a cross validated coeffieciency(q2) of 0.630 and 0.634 respectively, which showed a strong predictive ability. The contourmaps of CoMFA and CoMSIA provided smooth and interpretable explanation of the structure-activity relationship of the selected compounds. A molecular docking was used to analyze and validate the QSAR models. Those results provide a useful information to design novel tubulin inhibitors.
