Molecular Holographic QSAR Model on the Herbicidal Activities of New Novel 2-(4-(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyloxy)phenoxy)-N-phenylpropionamide Derivatives and Prediction of Higher Activity Compounds

The herbicidal activities against pre-emergence barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) by a series of new 2-(4-(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyloxy)phenoxy)-N-phenylpopionamide derivatives as substrate molecule were studied using molecular holographic (H) quantitative structure activity relationships (HQSAR) methodology. From the based on the findings, the higher herbicidal active compounds are predicted by the derived HQSAR model. The best HQSAR model (VI-1) was derived from fragment distinction combination of atoms/bonds in fragment size, $7{\sim}10$bin. The herbicidal activities from atomic contribution maps showed that the activity will be able to increased according to the R-substituents variation of the N-phenyl ring and change of 6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyloxy group. Based on the results, the statistical results of the best HQSAR model (VI-1) exhibited the best pedictability and fitness for the herbicidal activities based on the cross-validated value ($q^2=0.646$) and non cross-validated value ($r^2_{ncv.}=0.917$), respectively. From the graphical analyses of atomic contribution maps, it was revealed that the lowest herbicidal activitics depends upon the 4-(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyloxy)phenoxy group ($pred.pI_{50}=-3.20$). Particularly, the R=4-fluoro, X=isobutoxy substituent (P2) of (X)-phenoxy-N-(R)-phenylpropionamide derivative is predicted as the highest active compound ($pred.pI_{50}=9.12$).

새로운 2-(4-(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyloxy)phenoxy)-N-phenyl-propionamide 유도체들의 제초활성에 관한 HQSAR 모델과 높은 활성 화합물의 예측

일련의 새로운 기질 분자로서 2-(4-(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyloxy)phenoxy)-N-phenylpropionamide 유도체들의 구조 변화와 그에 따른 발아 전, 논피 (Echinochloa crus-galli)에 대한 제초활성과의 분자 홀로그래피적(H) QSAR 관계를 연구하였다. 그 결과로부터 높은 제초활성 화합물들이 유도된 HQSAR 모델에 의하여 예측되었다. 가장 양호한 HQSAR 모델은 분자조각 크기($7{\sim}10bin$) 조건에서 유도된 모델(VI-1)이었다. 제초활성에 관한 HQSAR 모델(VI-1)은 높은 예측성($r^2_{cv.}$ 또는 $q^2=0.646$)과 상관성($r^2_{ncv.}=0.917$)에 근거하여 양호한 통계값들을 나타내었다. 그리고 HQSAR 기여도로부터 가장 낮은 제초활성은 4-(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyloxy)phenoxy 고리($pred.pI_{50}=-3.20$)에 의존적이었다. 특히, (X)-phenoxy-N-(R)-phenylpropionamide 유도체의 R=4-fluoro, X=isobutoxy 치환체인 4-isobutoxyphenoxy-N-(4-fluorophenyl)propionamide (P2)는 가장 높은 제초활성($pred.pI_{50}=9.12$)을 나타내는 화합물로 예측되었다.
