Abstract:"Microcystis aeruginosa causes cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) in various freshwater environments. Due to global climate change, the cHABs have even spread to estuaries and coasts. Plant-derived flavones have been reported as allelochemicals that efficiently inhibit the growth of M. aeruginosa. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) was applied to investigate the factors affecting the M. aeruginosa inhibitory activity of flavones, and to discover novel allelochemicals against M. aeruginosa. We constructed 2D and 3D-QSAR models based on the half maximum inhibitory concentration (IC(50)) of 22 flavones against M. aeruginosa, using molecular descriptors from multiple stable conformations. Both models showed satisfactory performances (2D-QSAR: r(2)=0.899, q(2)=0.596, r(test)(2)=0.801; 3D-QSAR: r(2)=0.810, q(2)=0.516, r(test)(2)=0.897). The 2D-QSAR model indicates that the anti-cyanobacterial activity is positively correlated with minimum and maximum surface electrostatic potential, and negatively correlated with polarity index and polar surface area. Through the 3D-QSAR approach, electronegative hydroxyl groups in 5- and 4(')-position were favorable for the anti-cyanobacterial activity. In addition, we selected six untested flavones that fit the 'activity-favorable' pattern of the visualized 3D-QSAR model. Five of the external flavones exhibited significant cyanobacterial inhibitory ability at their predicted IC(50) by the 3D-QSAR model. In particular, diosmetin achieved an inhibition rate of 70.50+/-4.74%, which was much higher than expected. The flavones screened by the 3D-QSAR model are novel cyanobacterial inhibitors and should be fully exploited to mitigate cHABs"
