Computer Aided Molecular Design A Strategy for Meeting the Challenges We Face
An Organized Guide • Build Chemical Insight • Discover new molecules • Predict their properties
Working at the Intersection • Structural Biology • Biochemistry • Medicinal Chemistry • Toxicology • Pharmacology • Biophysical Chemistry • Information Technology
Structural Biology • Fastest growing area of biology • Protein and nucleic acid structure and function • How proteins control living processes
Medicinal Chemistry • Organic Chemistry • Applied to disease • Example: design new enzyme inhibitor drugs • doxorubicin (anti-cancer)
Pharmacology • Biochemistry of Human Disease • Different from Pharmacy: distribution of pharmaceuticals, drug delivery systems
New Ideas From Nature • Natural Products Chemistry • Chemical Ecology • During the next two decades: the major activity in organismal biology • Examples: penicillin, taxol (anti-cancer)
Working at the Intersection • Structural Biology • Biochemistry • Medicinal Chemistry • Toxicology • Pharmacology • Biophysical Chemistry • Information Technology
Principles • Structure-Function Relationships • Binding • Step 1: Biochemical Mechanism • Step 2: Understand and control macromolecular binding
Binding • Binding interactions are how nature controls processes in living cells • Enzyme-substrate binding leads to catalysis • Protein-nucleic acid binding controls protein synthesis
Principles • Structure-Function Relationships • Binding • Understand and control binding ->disease • Molecular Recognition • How do enzymes recognize and bind the proper substrates • Guest-Host Chemistry • Molecular Recognition in Cyclodextrins
Molecular Recognition • Hydrogen bonding • Charge-charge interactions (salt bridges) • Dipole-dipole • p – p interactions (aromatic) • Hydrophobic (like dissolves like)
Molecular Design • Originated in Drug Design • Agricultural, Veterinary, Human Health • Guest - Host Chemistry • Ligands for Inorganic Complexes • Materials Science • Polymer Chemistry • Supramolecular Chemistry • Semi-conductors, nonlinear phenomena
Information Technology • Chemical Abstracts Service registered over one million new compounds last year • Expected to increase every year • Need to know the properties of all known compounds: • pharmaceutical lead compounds • environmental behavior
Information Technology • Store and Retrieve • Molecular Structures and Properties • Efficient Retrieval Critical Step • Multi-million $ industry • Pharmaceutical Industry • $830 million to bring a new drug to market • Need to find accurate information • Shorten time to market, minimize mistakes
CAMD • Computational techniques to guide chemical intuition • Design new hosts or guests • Enzyme inhibitors • Clinical analytical reagents • Catalysts
CAMD Steps • Determine Structure of Guest or Host • Build a model of binding site • Search databases for new guests (or hosts) • Dock new guests and binding sites • Predict binding constants or activity • Synthesize guests or hosts
Structure Searches • 2D Substructure searches • 3D Substructure searches • 3D Conformationally flexible searches • cfs
2D Substructure Searches • Functional groups • Connectivity • Halogen substituted aromatic and a carboxyl group
2D Substructure Searches • Query: • Halogen substituted aromatic and a carboxyl group
3D Substructure Searches • Spatial Relationships • Define ranges for distances and angles • Stored conformation • usually lowest energy
Conformationally Flexible Searches • Rotate around all freely rotatable bonds • Many conformations • Low energy penalty • Get many more hits • Guests adapt to hosts and Hosts adapt to guests
Conformationally Flexible Searches • Small energy penalty
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme • Zn containing protease • Converts Angiotensin I • Asp-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phe-His-Leu • -> Angiotensin II • Raises blood pressure • Vascular constriction • Restricts flow to kidneys • Diminishing fluid loss Losartan
