  1. Computational strategies and methods for building drug-like libraries Tim Mitchell, John Holland and John Woods Cambridge Discovery Chemistry & Oxford Molecular

  2. Computational strategies and methods for building drug-like libraries • What makes a molecule “drug-like” ? • Drug-like screening libraries from commercial sources • Reagent selection • Combinatorial library design

  3. Drug-like properties • Solubility, bio-availability • Mw, LogP, H-bonds • Toxicity, reactivity • Topkat • Relatively quick and easy to calculate • Robust desk-top access can be an issue

  4. Quantitative structure-toxicity relationships log (1/[T*i]) = log Ai - (Gi/2.303 RT) + logK T: Measure of toxicity • LOAEL, Carcinogenicity, LD50, etc. A (Pre-exponential factor): Transport quantifiers • Shape (k), Symmetry (S) G (Free energy term): Electronic properties • Atomic charges, E-state indices Kier, Quant.

  7. Core Library Compound Selection • Identify ~15,000 compounds from the ~425,000 compounds in our database of commercially available suppliers • Previous experience of Maybridge, BioNet, Menai Organics, AsInEx, ChemStar, Contact Service & Specs indicates their compounds are what they say they are and are >80% pure

  8. Screening Library Selection • Remove unsuitable compounds using calculated properties • Mol wt. between 200 and 600 • ALogP between -2 and 6 • Estimated LD50 > 100 mg/kg (removes reactive compounds) • Estimated Ames mutagenicity probability <0.9 (removed hyper-conjugated and activated aromatic) • Rotatable bonds <= 12 • Likely to be insoluble in 10% DMSO/Water • Cluster on atom & bond fingerprint and select representatives • Visually inspect

  9. Property Based Compound Selection

  11. Screening Library Property Profiles Mean 2.5 80% 0.6-4.1 Mean 335 80% 246-427

  12. Screening Library Property Profiles Mean 5.4 Mean 1.1 Mean 3.3

  13. Screening Library from Commercial Sources • 15K Compound Screening Library • Drug-like • Non toxic/reactive • Enhanced solubility • Diverse • Visually checked • Samples available for collaborators • 2mg / well • 80 compounds / plate

  14. Structure & property-based reagent selection • Customer request to include b-Ph cinnamaldehyde • Unsuitable for chemistry (reductive amination) • Suggest alternatives • Similarity • 166 hits, 9 aldehydes • Substructure + property • 47 hits, 47 aldehydes MR = 67 AlogP = 3.5# Ar6 = 2

  15. Structure & property-based reagent selection

  16. Structure & property-based reagent selection

  17. Library design strategies • Focused library design: Reagent-based selection • Maximum diversity is not required in focused libraries • Systematically optimise substituents • Synthesise fully enumerated libraries • Difficult to cherry-pick and fully enumerate • Reagent selection is compatible with plate layout (8x12 etc.) • We never know everything about a target • Some diversity always necessary • Diverse library design: Product-based selection • Balance of diversity vs. practical issues • Product based reagent selection • 2-D fingerprint / 3-D pharmacophore / 3-D similarity • Drug like properties become increasingly more important as a project progresses from lead discovery to lead optimisation

  18. Library enumeration & profiling • SD file of enumerated library • Calculate properties (TSAR, Batch TSAR, Diamond Discovery) • Direct calculation from SD file / RS3 Database • Mol wt., Log P, H-bond donors & acceptors • Toxicity • Analyse profiles (DIVA) • Replace any “problem” reagents • Check for pharmacophores (Chem-X) • Register as “Work in Progress”

  19. Precursor and property based virtual library selection • Register the ID’s of the precursors associated with each product • Select reagent combinations and/or property ranges from large virtual libraries

  20. Library Profiles (DIVA) • Rapidly identify precursors which result in undesirable product properties

  21. Product-based reagent selection • Select reagent sub-set and maintain product diversity

  23. Reagent selection & enumeration • Reject high molecular wt., reactivity • Enumerate 24K products (Afferent) • Calculate product properties (Tsar) • Mol wt, AlogP • Estimated Tox. (LD50, Ames) • Diversity • Profile & select (Diva) R1 = 11 R2 = 94 R3 = 68 R1 = 9 R2 = 40 R3 = 68 Greg Pearl

  26. Reagent screen & virtual library profile • Screen reagents • 70,312 (11x94x68)  24,480 (9x40x68) • Reduce Virtual Lib / Maintain Diversity • 24,480 (9x40x68)  8,160 (3x40x68) • Remove likely toxic compounds • 8,160 (3x40x68) 6549 (3x37x59)

  27. Computational strategies and methods for building drug-like libraries • The ability to calculate, store and search descriptors of hundreds of thousands of compounds is key to both compound selection and library design • Estimated toxicity calculations are useful additions to “standard” molecular descriptors • Calculated properties and analysis tools are readily accessible from a chemists desktop • Property and diversity profiles are very effective, and ensure chemists buy-in to the design process Oxford Molecular / Cambridge Discover Chemistry Booth 737-740
