A specific QSAR model for proteasome inhibitors from Oleaeuropaea and Ficuscarica

and are widely used in traditional medicine for the treatment of cancer. Therefore, it is of interest to develop a QSAR model for screening proteasome inhibitors from plant source. Hence, a QSAR model was developed using multiple linear regressions; partial least squares regression and principal component regression methods. Results of QSAR modeling and docking demonstrate that compounds derived from both plants have great potentiality to be proteasome inhibitors. The developed QSAR model highlights a strong structure-effect relationship. The predicted correlation of comparative molecular field analysis, and comparative molecular similarity indexes are 0.963 and 0.919, respectively. Computed absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity studies on these derivatives showed encouraging results with very low toxicity, distribution and absorption.
