The Age of Lipinski HTS alerts • HTS lead generation biases chemistry
Design Criteria • Library Design Buzzwords and Concepts • “Diverse“ • “Universal” • Pharmacophore mapping libraries • Drug-like properties • Lipinski etal Adv Drug Del. Rev. 1997, 23, 3-25 • Sadowski, J. Med. Chem, 1998. 41, 3325. • Ajay etal, J.Med.Chem, 1998, 41, 3314 • focussed libraries etc etc.
Our experiences ?? • by 1998 • 75%+ screening bank Combi derived • applied current design criteria • focussed upon “drug-like libraries” • we are looking for drug-like potency - • do we find it ?? 3000 hits 1e6 screen points
Charnwood Confirmed HTS Hits 3000 hits 1e6 screen points • In > 1e6 screen tests - not 1 nM hit • probability of a nM hit < 1e-6 • But hits are already drug-like size
Bang for your Buck • Andrews analysis (J Med Chem 1984, 27, 1648.) • scoring without a protein • analysed 200 good ligands for their receptor • assume all interactions are optimally made • apply fn group counts = regression vs potency DG (kcal/mol) = -14 -0.7nDOF + 0.7 nCsp2 + 0.8 nCsp3 +11.5nN++1.2nN +8.2n CO2- + 10n PO4- + 2.5n OH + 3.4 n C=O +1.1 nO,S +1.3nhal D Williams DGHB = 0.5-1.5 kcal/mol DGlipo = 0.7 kcal/mol -CH3 DGrot= 0.4 - 1.4 kcal/mol Williams etal Chemtracts, 1994, 7, 133
Andrews Analysis Training set • Significant ,model incl by 2 outliers Biotin
Andrews - Coloured by Charge • Multiply charged compounds overpredicted • oral targets 0,1 charge
HTS screening Hits Andrews predictions • probabilities • predicted • p(<10nM) = 22% • obsd • p(<10nM) <e-8% HTS Obsd activities Many hits underperform
HTS Screening Hits • Drug-like hits • potency of many underperform • binding via weak non-specific interactions • not all interactions made or very suboptimal • would explain “flat SAR” in Hit-to-Lead activities • small mM leads easier to optimise than large mM • “easy” and “difficult” hit-to-lead projects • easy to increase Mwt/logP - increase potency • easy to demonstrate SAR, increase potency 10x • difficult because of flat SAR • difficult to reduce Mwt and logP maintaining potency
HtL Examples - GPCR Project IC50 = 0.55 mM Mwt 350 clogP 3.7 IC50 = 4.6 mM Mwt 268 ClogP 3.4 IC50 = 0.18 mM Mwt 380 ClogP = 4.5
GPCR Hit-to-Lead • Both series dropped - Many analogues same or loss potency Many analogues same potency
GPCR Hit-to-Lead • Rapid Hit-to-Lead optimisation • clear SAR • drug-like series with good DMPK • patentable IC50 = 4.6 mM Mwt 268 ClogP 3.4 IC50 = 0.02 mM Mwt 336 ClogP 5.3 (:-<)
“Difficult” Project - 2 Renin Inhibitors No renin inhibitor went passed PII all failed due to poor bioavailability, high cost
Process Lead Optimisation • Optimisation Hypothesis Lead-like PDR Outside drug space old Combi Library
Bang for your Buck - 2 Would a lead-like compound “hit” in HTS ? • Andrews analysis of leads • estimated pKi for “leadlike” ligand • 15,000 “random” drugs designed • random numbers of “features bounded by oral drugs filtered by est Mwt - and 0,1 charge DG (kcal/mol) = -14 - 0.7n DOF(n = 1-8) + 0.75 nCsp2+sp3(n=4-18) + 11.5nN+(n=0,1) + 1.2nN(n=0-4) + 2.5n OH(n=0,1) + 3.4 n C=O(n=0-2) + 1.1 nO,S(n=0-2) + 1.3nhal(n=0,1)
Leadlike Bang for your Bucks • HTS screening environment • Small leads probably need 1 charge @10mM
Lead-like Profile • Mwt 200-350 • optimisation adds ca. 100 • logP 1-3 • optimisation may increase by 1-2 logunits • single charge • positive charge preferred • secondary or tertiary amine • 1998: less than 600 solid compounds with mwt <250 and clogP <2 • 1999: 3000 added by purchase. Synthesis added >30000

Screening File Split • Step taken by some companies - drivers • logical conclusion of leadlike paradigm • cost/feasibility some HTS technologies Screening file Bad - topical/desperate file Good oral file
Summary • HTS • starting points are crucial to speed throughout process • screening file should reflect what chemists can easily work upon • ideally we all want to find drugs in our screening file • but generally a HTS finds only leads not drugs • file-size isnt everything = quality is equally important • Libraries • Many approaches - targeted libraries v successful • kinase libraries - 4x hit rate - screening file • libraries should reflect what you wish to find • leads not drugs Teague, Leeson, Oprea, Davis, Angew Chem 1999, 38, 3743
