Dynamic combinatorial chemistry.

Abstract

A combinatorial library that responds to its target by increasing the concentration of strong binders at the expense of weak binders sounds ideal. Dynamic combinatorial chemistry has the potential to achieve exactly this. In this review, we will highlight the unique features that distinguish dynamic combinatorial chemistry from traditional combinatorial chemistry, and that could make a useful addition to the set of combinatorial techniques used in drug discovery.

Evaluation of a novel shape-based computational filter for lead evolution: application to thrombin inhibitors.

A novel shape-feature-based computational method is described and used to rapidly filter compound libraries. The computational model, built using three-dimensional conformations of active and inactive molecules, consists of a collection of whole molecule shapes and chemical feature positions that are ranked according to their correlation with activity. A small ensemble of these shapes and features is used to filter virtual compound libraries. The method is applied to two thrombin data sets and is shown to be efficient in identifying novel scaffolds with enhanced hit rates.

Scaffold hopping and optimization towards libraries of glycogen synthase kinase-3 inhibitors.

Using a virtual screening strategy based on a methodology derived from the CATS molecular descriptor, a novel compound class with inhibitory activity against the GSK-3 enzyme was identified through scaffold hopping. These compounds were readily synthesized, either by solid-phase or solution-phase chemistry. Compounds with inhibitory activity below 1 microM were identified.
