Discovery of MAO-B Inhibitor with Machine Learning, Topomer CoMFA, Molecular Docking and Multi-Spectroscopy Approaches

= 0.824 (non-cross-validated correlation coefficient) were determined for the training and test sets, respectively. In addition, molecular docking was employed to analyze the interaction between MAO-B and inhibitors. Finally, based on our proposed prediction model, 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)propan-1-one (LB) was predicted as a potential MAO-B inhibitor and was validated by a multi-spectroscopic approach including fluorescence spectra and ultraviolet spectrophotometry.
