Human phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein 1 (hPEBP1) is a novel target affecting many cellular signaling pathways involved in the formation of metastases. It can be used in the treatment of many cases of cancer. For these reasons, pharmaceutical companies use computational approaches, including multi-QSAR (2D, 3D, and hologram QSAR) analysis, homology modeling, molecular docking analysis, and molecular dynamic simulations, to speed up the drug discovery process.

A valid 3 D-QSAR (R= 0.89, q=0.
