Abstract
The potential role of Autotaxin (ATX) in physiological and pathological processes turned it in an attractive drug target for pharmacological therapeutic development. However, potent and selective non-lipid as well lipid inhibitors of ATX are currently not available as drugs. In this paper we tried to review all the known progress on ATX inhibition using two dimensional (2D)-Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) and three dimensional (3D) mapping techniques. Furthermore, we tried to compare and extract conclusions analyzing with 3D mapping techniques vastly diverse structures of non-lipid ATX inhibitors which have been reported in patents. McGowan’s Volume (MgVol) molar volume and Molar Refractivity (MR) of substituents seems to govern the ATX inhibition. 3D-mapping results point to the role of steric properties (Volume and Polar Surface Area-PSA). Steric factors are obviously important. The role of hydrophilicity was also highlighted. Electronic parameters are not found to be present.
Keywords: 2D-QSAR, 3D-mapping, autotoxin inhibitors, inflammation, lipid mediators, non lipid, PK descriptors.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
