Formoterol pharmacophore extraction of the 1280-compound Sigma LOPAC

Chemical fingerprints defined within the MOE software package were used to cluster compounds based on molecular similarity as measured from the TC. Analysis of the data using a TC of 60% identified 23 compounds of 1280 (or 1.8%) compounds from LOPAC that matched formoterol based on chemical similarity. RPTC were treated with the 23 identified LOPAC compounds (5 μM) for 24 h and examined for changes in FCCP-OCR. This assay identified nisoxetine, which increases FCCP-OCR 15% above vehicle control.
