The article considers the study in silico of the affinity of 3-[2-oxo-2-(4-phenyl-1-piperazinyl)ethyl]-4(3H)-quinazolinone (VMA-10-21 compound) to the benzodiazepine binding site of the GABA А receptor by molecular docking method. The computational experiment was carried out using a set of Autodock programs. As a result, the method for predicting the affinity of the simulated compounds to the benzodiazepine binding site of the GABA A receptor was developed. The highest correlation coefficient between the pKi value and the average docking energy in the benzodiazepine binding site (0.54) was obtained using a set of amino acids Tyr 58 and Tyr 159. The predicted Ki value of the VMA-10-21 compound is 2.864 nM, which suggests a high affinity of the studied compound to this receptor.
