outline• Goal: to develop a model of the dopamine transporter (DAT)
using QSAR analysis of cocaine analogues– No crystal structure of the DAT is available, but many piperidine
analogues of cocaine have been synthesized and evaluated for binding affinity
– A highly predictive model for the DAT would facilitate development of therapeutics for cocaine abuse
• Methods– Training set of 36 compounds, test set of 6 compounds– Genetic Algorithm Similarity Program (GASP) used to generate
pharmacophore by comparing known ligands for DAT– Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) calculates steric and
electrostatic field energies– Refined with Flexible Superposition (FlexS)

Quantitative predictions are accurate
Conclusions
• Two pharmacophore models suggest multiple binding modes for ligands
• Good fit when QSAR applied to test set of 6 compounds
• Predictive power for new potential therapeutics
