Abstract
A range of triazoloacridin-6-ones functionalized at C5 and C8 have been synthesized and evaluated for ability to inhibit NQO1 and NQO2. The compounds were computationally docked into the active site of NQO1 and NQO2, and calculated binding affinities were compared with IC50 values for enzyme inhibition. Excellent correlation coefficients were demonstrated suggesting a predictive QSAR model for this series of structurally similar analogues. From this we have identified some of these triazoloacridin-6-ones to be the most potent NQO2 inhibitors so far reported. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
