It is over 20 years since the first fragment-based discovery projects were disclosed. The methods are now mature for most ‘conventional’ targets in drug such as enzymes (kinases and proteases) but there has also been growing success on more challenging targets, disruption of protein–protein interactions. main application to identify tractable chemical startpoints that non-covalently modulate activity a biological molecule. In this essay, we overview current practice discuss how they have had an impact lead – generating large number fragment-derived compounds clinical trials two medicines treating patients. addition, some recent applications biology providing tools investigate molecules, mechanisms systems.

Targeted covalent inhibitors (TCIs) are designed to bind poorly conserved amino acids by means of reactive groups, the so-called warheads. Currently, targeting noncatalytic cysteine residues with acrylamides and other α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is predominant strategy in TCI development. The recent ascent drugs has stimulated considerable efforts characterize alternative warheads for covalent-reversible irreversible engagement as well acids. This Perspective article provides an overview warheads-beyond amides-recently used design targeted ligands. Promising groups that have not yet demonstrated their utility development also highlighted. Special emphasis placed on discussion reactivity case studies illustrating applications medicinal chemistry chemical biology.

Abstract In contrast to the traditional mechanism of drug action that relies on reversible, noncovalent interaction a ligand with its biological target, targeted covalent inhibitor (TCI) is designed such initial, reversible association followed by formation bond between an electrophile and nucleophilic center in protein. Although this approach offers variety potential benefits (high potency extended duration action), concerns over possible toxicological consequences protein haptenization have hindered development TCI concept. Recently, approaches mitigate risk serious adverse reactions new class agent emerged, thus stimulating interest field leading authorization first cadre TCIs be marketed. The rapidly gaining acceptance as valuable tool discovery, poised make major impact design enzyme inhibitors receptor modulators.

Although Michael acceptors display a potent and broad spectrum of bioactivity, they have largely been ignored in drug discovery because their presumed indiscriminate reactivity. As such, dearth information exists relevant to the thiol reactivity natural products analogues possessing this moiety. In midst recently approved acrylamide-containing drugs, it is clear that good understanding hetero-Michael addition reaction relative reactivities biological thiols with under physiological conditions needed for design use these compounds as tools potential therapeutics. This Perspective provides will contribute understanding, such kinetics reactions, bioactivities, well steric electronic factors influence electrophilicity reversibility acceptors. focused on α,β-unsaturated carbonyls given preponderance bioactive products.

CavityPlus is a web server that offers protein cavity detection and various functional analyses. Using three-dimensional structural information as the input, applies CAVITY to detect potential binding sites on surface of given structure rank them based ligandability druggability scores. These can be further analysed using three submodules, CavPharmer, CorrSite, CovCys. CavPharmer uses receptor-based pharmacophore modelling program, Pocket, automatically extract features within cavities. CorrSite identifies allosteric ligand-binding motion correlation analyses between CovCys detects druggable cysteine residues, which especially useful identify novel for designing covalent ligands. Overall, provides an integrated platform analysing comprehensive properties Such are many aspects drug design discovery, including target selection identification, virtual screening, de novo design, covalent-binding design.
