Abstract Genetic mutations in APC or CNTBB1 gene with aberrant canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway are responsible for more than 90% of colorectal carcinogenesis. Tankyrases (TNKS) are known to downregulate Wnt signaling by stabilizing AXIN protein through poly(ADP ribose)polymerization or PARSylation process and subsequently, promoting degradation of intracellular β-catenin. Tankyrase enzymes are modulated by a range of known inhibitors that bind individually to any of the nicotinamide or induced adenosine pockets or as dual binding antagonists. Hence, for designing dual tankyrase inhibitors as Wnt signaling antagonist; we carried out 3D-QSAR studies using a data set of 51 molecules of reported 3,4,5-trisubstituted 4H-1,2,4-triazole derivatives. These reported 51 molecules were divided into a training set (39 molecules) and test set (12 molecules), aligned and subjected to generate CoMFA, CoMSIA, and HQSAR models. CoMFA analysis showed q2 value of 0.694, r2ncv value of 0.991 and r2pred value of 0.641. Optimized CoMSIA analysis (SEHA) showed q2 value of 0.624, r2ncv value of 0.909 and r2pred value of 0.850. Both internal and external validations were performed for generated models of CoMFA and CoMSIA (SEHA) and satisfactory results were obtained. HQSAR analysis showed q2, r2, and r2pred values of 0.781, 0.901, and 0.811, respectively. Applicability domain was also found to be satisfactory with all compounds falling within the range and no outlier was observed. Contour maps from all studies provided significant results with identification of desired spatial arrangement of different atoms or functional groups in a molecule. Triazole ring system-based molecules were reported as potent tankyrase inhibitors. These noteworthy results were employed for the design of different triazole derivatives as potent tankyrase inhibitors, wherein a series of 20 different molecules were designed for evaluation of their potentials as novel tankyrase inhibitors.
