So, what So, what IsIs A Chemical Probe? A Chemical Probe?
• Answer A: It has not been decided yet
• Answer B: A chemical probe is a somewhat selective, somewhat potent (sub-micromolar?) structure that works on the target / phenotypic assay of interest; it should be reasonably …soluble (I guess)
• Chemical Probes are not necessarily anticipated to work in vivo (though it will be preferred) and not expected to lead to drugs either
• Chemical Probes could be used for assay development & optimization, for imaging, radio-labeling, for flow cytometric analyses, etc. (not necessarily used to query biological space only)

Thus, Thus, Why Bother with Drug Properties?Why Bother with Drug Properties?
• Drug Discovery scientists sometimes think that the name of the game is to get high affinity to the target receptor, and then…

• Pharmaceutical lead discovery world-wide apply Lipinski’s Rule of 5: MW ≤ 500, cLogP ≤ 5, HDO ≤ 5, HAC ≤ 10. Any two violations = poor %Oral
• Ro5 does not discriminate “druglikeness”. Its use is intended as filter in early HTS hit analysis/discovery. Problem is, it is applied literally (but was derived from drugs, not leads).

Is There a Preferred Property Space Is There a Preferred Property Space for Leads & Chemical Probes?for Leads & Chemical Probes?
• There is a tendency in the academic sector to ignore past mistakes from the pharmaceutical industry, e.g., the “tyranny of Lipinski” and “we don’t care about in vivo, we just want chemical probes”, which is unfortunate… since the output of academic research ought to result in tools to better understand biology (pharmacology, chemical biology, etc)
• So the reason for this talk is to learn from drug discovery, and from the failures in the pharma sector?

• This analysis can give us trends & boundaries for this property space, e.g., we could use tail-end values from the above to filter for lead- or “pub”-like-ness (is there a preferred space for chemical probes?)
• Learn from the WOMBAT “nM” ligands: these are failed medchem projects from big pharma (i.e., not too good as leads). Data very useful for ideas, but I would not advise anyone to use these as leads
• Note: if working with natural products, these filters will fail

(Revised) Guidelines for Probe Discovery(Revised) Guidelines for Probe Discovery• The following (restrictive!) properties could be considered when evaluating
chemical probes, in particular when many HTS primary hits come out:
• 100 MW 432.5, -4 ClogP 5.1, LogSw ≥ -5.1, 0 Hdon 4, 0 Hacc 9 (inspired from the tail-end of Actives)
• Obs.: MW cut-off in Ro5 is 427, according to Michal Vieth• SMCM 73.2, RTB 14, RNG 5 (from the tail-end of Drugs) • Good probes require that subtle interplay between solubility and
permeability, in order to work in cells and in vivo.• For further progression (lead opt.), additional properties are required:
• %F ≥ 30, CL 30 mL/min, %PPB 99 (in rat PK models)• KD ≥ 100 M for drug-metabolizing P450s (no DDIs)• Preferably, no acute toxicity, no carcinogenicity, etc.• These cut-off values will change with each target, its location (e.g., brain vs.
stomach vs. bone vs. kidney), with the intended admin. mode… These values are not the pharma equivalent of the Planck constant
The University of New MexicoSCHOOL OF MEDICINE
ConclusionsConclusions• The MLSMR & NCB actives (N=198) has similar property
distribution with the historical Leads (N=385).
• It’s interesting to compare the differences between the property distribution values of the 569 Actives and the 5,784 high-activity molecules (WB9).
• The WB9 subset contains molecules that are, on average, larger, more hydrophobic and less soluble than any of the other datasets examined here.
• Pub-like Actives are, on average, smaller, less complex, less hydrophobic and more soluble than the other datasets.
The University of New MexicoSCHOOL OF MEDICINE
Conclusions 2Conclusions 2• As we discover new chemical probes, the issue of what
constitutes high-quality probes is under scrutiny.
• Arguments such as ‘‘historical bias’’ are used when it comes to defining property boundaries (the ‘tyranny of Lipinski’).
• Yet, the number of new approved drugs /year continued to decline in the past decade, despite significantly larger numbers of molecules & targets explored.
• Whether the boundary limits will be extend beyond the Ro5 ‘‘cube’’, only time will tell.
• Over 55% of the top 200 oral drug products in the United States, Great Britain, Japan and Spain are ‘‘high-solubility drugs’’ [*], and that only 18 of the 133 active principles from these drugs have ClogP values greater than 4.0.
