Abstract
Fatty acid biosynthesis is an important process in the
microorganism life cycle. β-Ketoacyl-acyl Carrier Protein
Synthase III (FABH) catalyzes a critical step in fatty acid
biosynthesis via type ii fatty acid biosynthesis. Series of 43
Benzoyl amino benzoic acid derivatives were subjected to 2D
and 3D quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR)
analysis via multiple linear regression and partial least square
analysis respectively. Statistically significant four QSAR
models were developed with good cross-validated correlation
coefficient and external validation values. Developed QSAR
model indicated the significance of the lipophilic parameters
in an inhibitory potential of benzoyl amino benzoic acid
derivatives.
