Background: 1, 8-naphthimide is a novel tumor inhibitor targeting nuclear DNA, which makes it applicable to the design and development of anti-osteosarcoma drugs.

Objective: The aim of this study is to establish a satisfactory model based on 1, 8-naphthimide derivatives that makes reliable prediction as DNA-targeted chemotherapy agents for osteosarcoma.

Methods: All compounds are constructed using ChemDraw software and subsequently optimized using Sybyl software. COMSIA method is used to construct QSAR model with the optimized compound in Sybyl software package. A series of new 1, 8-naphthalimide derivatives are designed and their IC values are predicted using the QSAR model. Finally, the newly designed compounds are screened according to IC values, and molecular docking experiments are conducted on the top ten compounds of IC.

Results: The COMSIA model shows that q is 0.529 and the optimum number of components is 6. The model has a high r value of 0.993 and a low SEE of 0.033, with the F value and the r predicted to be 495.841 and 0.996 respectively. The statistical results and verification results of the model are satisfactory. In addition, analyzing the contour maps is conducive to finding the structural requirements.

Conclusion: The results of this study can provide guidance for medical chemists and other related workers to develop targeted chemotherapy drugs for osteosarcoma.

Purpose: Nowadays, cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors have been approved for treating metastatic breast cancer and have achieved inspiring curative effects. But some discoveries have indicated that CDK 4/6 are not the requisite factors in some cell types because CDK2 partly compensates for the inhibition of CDK4/6. Thus, it is urgent to design CDK2/4/6 inhibitors for significantly enhancing their potency.
