Abstract
A study of a series of compounds with agonistic effect at the α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors resulted in an improved pharmacophore model as well as a CoMFA model. The pharmacophore was composed of three pharmacophoric elements: (1) a site point (a) corresponding to a protonated nitrogen atom, (2) a site point (b) corresponding to an electronegative atom capable of forming a hydrogen bond, and (3) the centre of a heteroaromatic ring or a C=O bond (c). The pharmacophoric elements were related by the following parameters: (a–b) 7.3–8.0 Å, (a–c) 6.5–7.4 Å, and the angle between the two distance vectors (Δbac) 30.4–35.8°. In addition to this, a stereoselective CoMFA model was developed, which showed good predictability even for compound classes not present in the training set.
