Some things that are hurting Pharma
• Having to exploit targets that are weakly-linked to
human disease
• Inability to predict idiosyncratic toxicity
• Inability to measure free (unbound) physiological
concentrations of drug for remote targets (e.g.
intracellular or within blood brain barrier)

2-Dimensional representation of chemical space is used here to illustrate concepts of diversity

In this representation, similar compounds are close together

Hitting the target: The old way…

HTS is so glamorous…

So, Maria, why do you think it is that the
Russians are so much better than the
Germans at tennis these days?
Actually we startedto beat them at their national sport almost
70 years ago and...
.... as Uncle Joe was so fond of saying, quantity
has a quality all of its own.
… that even the stars of tennis have heard of it

A model for molecular complexity
This model is equally relevant to conventional and fragment-based screening. See Hann, Leach
& Harper J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci., 2001, 41, 856-864 | http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ci000403i

Degree of substitution as measure of molecular complexity
The prototypical benzoic acid can be accommodated at both sites and, provided that binding can be
observed, will deliver a hit against both targets See Blomberg et al JCAMD 2009, 23, 513-525 |
http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10822-009-9264-5 | This way of thinking about molecular complexity is
similar to the ‘needle’ concept introduced by Roche researchers. See Boehm et al J. Med. Chem.
2000, 43, 2664-2774 | http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jm000017s

Why fragments?
• Access to larger chemical space
• Counter the advantage of competitors’ large
compound collections
• Ligands are assembled from proven molecular
recognition elements
• Just a smart way to do Structure-Based Design
• Control resolution at which chemical space is
sampled
![Page 20: From screening to molecular interactions: A short tour](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/55941ffa1a28ab58128b4636/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Control of properties of compounds and materials by
manipulation of molecular properties
• Prediction-Driven or Hypothesis-Driven

(Descriptor-based) QSAR/QSPR:
Some questions
• How valid is methodology (especially for validation)
when distribution of compounds in training/test space
is highly non-uniform?
• Do models predict activity or just locate neighbours?
• Are ‘global’ models ensembles of local models?
• How well do the methods handle ‘activity cliffs’?
• How should we account for sizes of descriptor pools
when comparing models?

Molecular Recognition
• Functional behavior of molecules is determined by the
interactions of its molecules with the different
environments in which they exist
• Mutual presentation of molecular surfaces
• For association in water we need to match interaction
potential to maximise affinity.

Summary
• Screening as sampling chemical space
– Fragments are thought to allow better sampling
• Molecular design as a process of tuning
interaction potential
– Design can be hypothesis-driven or prediction-
driven
