WEDNESDAY, MAY 21

10:20 Structurally Informed Epigenetic Chemical Probe Design

7:00 am Registration and Morning Coffee

UPDATES ON NEW COMPOUNDS AND TARGETS
8:00 Chairperson’s Opening Remarks
8:05 Tackling the Conformational Sampling of Larger Flexible
Compounds and Macrocycles in Pharmacology and Drug
Discovery
Nicolas Foloppe, Ph.D., Principal Scientist, Chemistry, Vernalis R&D Ltd.
Computational conformational sampling underpins much of molecular design
in pharmaceutical work. We have tested in detail the sampling of larger
more flexible compounds including therapeutic peptides, macrocycles, and
inhibitors of protein–protein interactions. The tested mainstream low-mode
based sampling approaches yielded very encouraging results, showing that
one can productively tackle the computational the conformational search of
larger flexible compounds for drug discovery.

8:35 Peptide Recognition of Bromodomain Reader Proteins
Yong Tang, Ph.D., Scientist, Structural Biology Department, Constellation
Pharmaceuticals
High-resolution crystal structures of bromodomain reader proteins in
complex with modified lysine peptide substrates have been determined.
These studies have been complimented by solution biophysical assays
as well as mutagenesis experiments. The molecular mechanism of these
recognition events will be discussed.

9:05 Structure-Based Design of BACE Inhibitors for
Alzheimer’s Disease
Andrew W. Stamford, Ph.D., Executive Director, Discovery Chemistry, Merck
Research Laboratories
Structure-based design applied to hits derived from a BACE1 fragment
screen led to the discovery of the iminoheterocycle class of BACE inhibitors,
foremost of which is MK-8931 currently in Phase 3 clinical trials for the
treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. This presentation will discuss the key role
of X-ray crystallography-guided structure-based design in the discovery and
optimization of novel, brain penetrant iminoheterocyclic BACE inhibitors.

9:35 Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing

Dafydd Owen, Ph.D., Associate Research Fellow, Biotherapeutics Worldwide
R&D, Pfizer Worldwide Medicinal Chemistry
Pfizer is a member of a public-private partnership led by the Structural
Genomics Consortium (SGC) to help identify a suite of high-quality chemical
probes for epigenetic targets. Epigenetic proteins are amenable to structure
based drug design and this has been a vital platform in the discovery of first
in class tool compounds for bromodomains and histone methyl transferases.
Our most recent progress in chemical probe discovery will be presented.

10:50 Protein Active Site Comparison with
SiteHopper: Phylogeny to Polypharmacology

Sponsored by

Gregory L Warren, Ph.D., Senior Applications Scientist,
OpenEye Scientific Software, Inc
Recent attempts to use sequence alignment to predict cross-reactivity and
polypharmacology have been made with varying degrees of success. We
present a new method, SiteHopper, which rapidly aligns and compares threedimensional representations of protein active or binding sites. Case studies will
be presented to show that SiteHopper is able to find similarity between binding
sites for targets that bind the same ligand but have very different sequences.

PROPERTIES OF FRAGMENTS
11:20 Knowledge-Based Scoring Revisited – From Voronoi
Tessellation to Non-Bonded Potentials
Marcel Verdonk, Director, Computational Chemistry & Informatics, Astex
The large number of available protein-ligand X-ray structures represents a
wealth of information on non-bonded interactions. However, it is far from
straightforward to convert this data into a form that is useful for structurebased design purposes. Here, we revisit the use of large numbers of proteinligand complexes to derive knowledge-based potentials that provide superior
performance in virtual screening, when compared to empirical scoring functions
and force field based methods.

11:50 Inhibiting Protein-Protein Interactions Using Fragments
and Structure-Based Drug Design
Steve Swann, Ph.D., Senior Scientist, Fragment Based Drug Discovery, Takeda
My talk will focus on several narratives describing the use of biophysical
techniques to identify low molecular weight, yet efficient chemical starting
points that bind at a protein-protein interface. Each of these fragment
starting points, were optimized using structure-based drug design to yield
potent inhibitors which ultimately modulated cell signalling and apoptosis.

12:20 pm Fishing for Fragments to Complement Known Binders

3:35 GPCR Mutagenesis: Leveraging Data to Aid in Drug Discovery

Daniel A. Erlanson, Ph.D., President, Carmot Therapeutics, Inc.
Finding fragments is now routine, but advancing them to leads can be
difficult. Linking two fragments is complicated by getting the linker just right.
In contrast, using a known binder as an anchor from which to “fish” for
fragments identifies only those connected by suitable linkers. Chemotype
Evolution applies this strategy to provide a general solution to the problem of
how to turn promising fragments into promising leads.

Karen A. Rossi, MS, Senior Research Investigator, Computer-Assisted Drug
Design, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company
The recent emergence of several pharmaceutically relevant GPCR crystal
structures has led to a heightened interest in GPCR homology modeling
and mutagenesis. We have developed a system for capturing, analyzing
and mapping mutagenesis data onto 3D structures. This has improved the
translation of the experimental data into structural insights, such as binding
pocket identification and homology model refinement. In this presentation,
we will describe this system and its application to drug discovery.

GPCRS AND OTHER MEMBRANE PROTEINS
2:00 Chairperson’s Remarks
2:05 High End GPCR Design: Crafted Ligand Design and
Druggability Analysis Using Protein Structure, Lipophilic
Hotspots and Explicit Water Networks
Jonathan S. Mason, Ph.D., FRSC, Senior Research Fellow, Heptares Therapeutics
UK
Full SBDD for GPCRs is now possible using a combination of advanced
experimental and computational data: Conformational thermostabilisation
of StaR® proteins enable biophysical screening and crystal structures with
both potent and weak ligands. Explicit water networks are a critical ‘third
dimension’ for SBDD, key for understanding ligand binding energies and
kinetics. Binding site energetic surveys using GRID for lipophilic hotspots are
found to be key drivers for binding.

as Tools for Virtual Screening

4:05 Refreshment Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing

5:00 A Robust Solution for Accurate Binding
Energy Predictions Using Free Energy

Science, Schrödinger, Inc.

5:30 Water Modeling: A Safe-Conduct to Understand ProteinLigand Interactions
Jose Duca, Ph.D., Head, Computer-Aided Drug Discovery, Novartis
For many years it has been well appreciated that water plays a key role in
governing protein structure and function. However, a true grasp of the full
extent and nature of water’s role is only now beginning to emerge. This talk
will overview a new paradigm that attributes protein structure and function
largely to the structure-free energy relationships of solvating water, including a
description of the theory and its reduction to practice in drug design settings.

Kerim Babaoglu, Ph.D., Associate Principal Scientist, Computational Chemistry,
Merck
Multiple GPCR models can be built using different templates in various
states. However, one still needs some way to discern which model is the
most “correct” or which is the most useful. One strategy is the use of
molecular docking along with available ligand binding data to gauge the
validity of the models created. This methodology was applied in an attempt
to reproduce a model of the recently solved CCR5 Receptor. The resulting
model serves as viable template for virtual screening and recapitulates
the binding mode of Maraviroc. This methodology has also been applied
prospectively against an in-house target and the metrics of that virtual
screen will be discussed.

6:00 Welcome Reception in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing

3:05 Challenges in GPCR Drug Discovery: Ligands, Orphans and
Homology Modeling

Carlos J. Camacho, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Computational Biology,
University of Pittsburgh; Co-Founder & Co-Chairman, Scientific Advisory
Board, Carmolex
We present a novel pharmacophore-based interactive screening technology
that builds on the role anchor residues, or deeply buried hot spots, have in
PPIs, to increase hit rates by redesigning these entry points with anchorbiased virtual multicomponent reactions (MCR). This chemistry delivers
hundreds of millions of readily synthesizable novel compounds especially
suitable to disrupt PPIs, which typically are not amenable to traditional small
molecule intervention.

Carleton Sage, Ph.D., Fellow, Computational Systems, Arena
Pharmaceuticals
As the number of crystal structures for GPCRs increases rapidly, the promise
of applying homology modeling to GPCR drug discovery with high fidelity
becomes a reality. However, the number of orphan receptors still remains
significant and ligand-based approaches reign supreme. This talk will present
the use and limitations of ligand and homology based approaches in GPCR
ligand discovery.

9:15 Identification of Novel Weak Agonists for PPARg through
Virtual Screening
Anders Hogner, Ph.D., Associate Director, Computational Chemistry, CVMD
Innovative Medicines, AstraZeneca
This presentation will give an overview of the hit identification process
targeting PPARg at AstraZeneca using various virtual screening approaches.
Crystal structures of the hits in complex with PPARg demonstrates (as
predicted) that the compound utilizes a binding mode distinct from other
classical PPARg ligands, presumably explaining the compound’s weak
agonistic effect as well as the efficacy in inhibiting phosphorylation.

10:45 Structure-Based Design and Property Optimization of
Potent and Selective Pyrazole Carboxamide Interleukin-2
Inducible T-Cell Kinase (ITK) Inhibitors for the Treatment of
Inflammatory Diseases
Jason Burch, Ph.D., Scientist, Medicinal Chemistry, Genentech
X-ray crystallography and computational methods were used to evolve
a double-digit nanomolar pyrazole carboxamide HTS hit into a selective
sub-nanomolar ITK inhibitor (>300X potency improvement). Highlights
included optimization of the pi-stacking and lipophilic interactions with the
phenylalanine “sentinels” of the active site. Further evolution of this scaffold
involved optimization of the pharmaceutical properties of the lead matter
through the use of calculated properties (e.g. TPSA, solubility index) to guide
target selection.

In my presentation, I will discuss our partnership
with nine large pharmaceutical companies to
generate structure enabled, freely available,
chemical probes; our collaborations with a network of academic
labs to use these probes to dissect biological and disease
networks; our plans to further improve target validation by using
patient derived primary cells, and a new initiative to advance
new clinical candidates into Phase IIa studies, pre-competitively.

Healthtech.com/StructureBased-Drug-Design Structure- and Dynamics-Based Design Strategies Pre-Conference Dinner Short Course* Tuesday, May 20 | 6:00-9:00 pm *Separate Registration Required Steven LaPlante, Ph.D., Founder & CEO, NMX Research & Solutions; Adjunct Professor, Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) This course will reveal design strategies that led to drugs currently in the clinic and on the market. An emphasis will be made on the exploitation of the bioactive ligand conformations using combinations of NMR, X-ray, calculations and SAR. Rational design and the implications of other properties will be addressed which include atropisomer chirality, drug self-aggregation and ADMET. WEDNESDAY, MAY 21 10:20 Structurally Informed Epigenetic Chemical Probe Design 7:00 am Registration and Morning Coffee UPDATES ON NEW COMPOUNDS AND TARGETS 8:00 Chairperson’s Opening Remarks 8:05 Tackling the Conformational Sampling of Larger Flexible Compounds and Macrocycles in Pharmacology and Drug Discovery Nicolas Foloppe, Ph.D., Principal Scientist, Chemistry, Vernalis R&D Ltd. Computational conformational sampling underpins much of molecular design in pharmaceutical work. We have tested in detail the sampling of larger more flexible compounds including therapeutic peptides, macrocycles, and inhibitors of protein–protein interactions. The tested mainstream low-mode based sampling approaches yielded very encouraging results, showing that one can productively tackle the computational the conformational search of larger flexible compounds for drug discovery. 8:35 Peptide Recognition of Bromodomain Reader Proteins Yong Tang, Ph.D., Scientist, Structural Biology Department, Constellation Pharmaceuticals High-resolution crystal structures of bromodomain reader proteins in complex with modified lysine peptide substrates have been determined. These studies have been complimented by solution biophysical assays as well as mutagenesis experiments. The molecular mechanism of these recognition events will be discussed. 9:05 Structure-Based Design of BACE Inhibitors for Alzheimer’s Disease Andrew W. Stamford, Ph.D., Executive Director, Discovery Chemistry, Merck Research Laboratories Structure-based design applied to hits derived from a BACE1 fragment screen led to the discovery of the iminoheterocycle class of BACE inhibitors, foremost of which is MK-8931 currently in Phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. This presentation will discuss the key role of X-ray crystallography-guided structure-based design in the discovery and optimization of novel, brain penetrant iminoheterocyclic BACE inhibitors. 9:35 Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing Cambridge Healthtech Institute, 250 First Avenue, Suite 300, Needham, MA 02494 www.healthtech.com Dafydd Owen, Ph.D., Associate Research Fellow, Biotherapeutics Worldwide R&D, Pfizer Worldwide Medicinal Chemistry Pfizer is a member of a public-private partnership led by the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) to help identify a suite of high-quality chemical probes for epigenetic targets. Epigenetic proteins are amenable to structure based drug design and this has been a vital platform in the discovery of first in class tool compounds for bromodomains and histone methyl transferases. Our most recent progress in chemical probe discovery will be presented. 10:50 Protein Active Site Comparison with SiteHopper: Phylogeny to Polypharmacology Sponsored by Gregory L Warren, Ph.D., Senior Applications Scientist, OpenEye Scientific Software, Inc Recent attempts to use sequence alignment to predict cross-reactivity and polypharmacology have been made with varying degrees of success. We present a new method, SiteHopper, which rapidly aligns and compares threedimensional representations of protein active or binding sites. Case studies will be presented to show that SiteHopper is able to find similarity between binding sites for targets that bind the same ligand but have very different sequences. PROPERTIES OF FRAGMENTS 11:20 Knowledge-Based Scoring Revisited – From Voronoi Tessellation to Non-Bonded Potentials Marcel Verdonk, Director, Computational Chemistry & Informatics, Astex The large number of available protein-ligand X-ray structures represents a wealth of information on non-bonded interactions. However, it is far from straightforward to convert this data into a form that is useful for structurebased design purposes. Here, we revisit the use of large numbers of proteinligand complexes to derive knowledge-based potentials that provide superior performance in virtual screening, when compared to empirical scoring functions and force field based methods. 11:50 Inhibiting Protein-Protein Interactions Using Fragments and Structure-Based Drug Design Steve Swann, Ph.D., Senior Scientist, Fragment Based Drug Discovery, Takeda My talk will focus on several narratives describing the use of biophysical techniques to identify low molecular weight, yet efficient chemical starting points that bind at a protein-protein interface. Each of these fragment starting points, were optimized using structure-based drug design to yield potent inhibitors which ultimately modulated cell signalling and apoptosis. “All relevant topics on structure-based drug design with excellent speakers and a well run conference.” - Associate Professor, Physics, University of North Carolina, Charlotte

Healthtech.com/StructureBased-Drug-Design 12:20 pm Fishing for Fragments to Complement Known Binders 3:35 GPCR Mutagenesis: Leveraging Data to Aid in Drug Discovery Daniel A. Erlanson, Ph.D., President, Carmot Therapeutics, Inc. Finding fragments is now routine, but advancing them to leads can be difficult. Linking two fragments is complicated by getting the linker just right. In contrast, using a known binder as an anchor from which to “fish” for fragments identifies only those connected by suitable linkers. Chemotype Evolution applies this strategy to provide a general solution to the problem of how to turn promising fragments into promising leads. Karen A. Rossi, MS, Senior Research Investigator, Computer-Assisted Drug Design, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company The recent emergence of several pharmaceutically relevant GPCR crystal structures has led to a heightened interest in GPCR homology modeling and mutagenesis. We have developed a system for capturing, analyzing and mapping mutagenesis data onto 3D structures. This has improved the translation of the experimental data into structural insights, such as binding pocket identification and homology model refinement. In this presentation, we will describe this system and its application to drug discovery. 12:50 Luncheon Presentations (Sponsorship Opportunity Available) or Lunch on Your Own GPCRS AND OTHER MEMBRANE PROTEINS 2:00 Chairperson’s Remarks 2:05 High End GPCR Design: Crafted Ligand Design and Druggability Analysis Using Protein Structure, Lipophilic Hotspots and Explicit Water Networks Jonathan S. Mason, Ph.D., FRSC, Senior Research Fellow, Heptares Therapeutics UK Full SBDD for GPCRs is now possible using a combination of advanced experimental and computational data: Conformational thermostabilisation of StaR® proteins enable biophysical screening and crystal structures with both potent and weak ligands. Explicit water networks are a critical ‘third dimension’ for SBDD, key for understanding ligand binding energies and kinetics. Binding site energetic surveys using GRID for lipophilic hotspots are found to be key drivers for binding. 2:35 Low-End GPCR Design: Ligand Steered Homology Models as Tools for Virtual Screening 4:05 Refreshment Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing WATER IN DRUG DESIGN 5:00 A Robust Solution for Accurate Binding Energy Predictions Using Free Energy Perturbation Sponsored by Woody Sherman, Ph.D., Vice President, Applications Science, Schrödinger, Inc. 5:30 Water Modeling: A Safe-Conduct to Understand ProteinLigand Interactions Jose Duca, Ph.D., Head, Computer-Aided Drug Discovery, Novartis For many years it has been well appreciated that water plays a key role in governing protein structure and function. However, a true grasp of the full extent and nature of water’s role is only now beginning to emerge. This talk will overview a new paradigm that attributes protein structure and function largely to the structure-free energy relationships of solvating water, including a description of the theory and its reduction to practice in drug design settings. Kerim Babaoglu, Ph.D., Associate Principal Scientist, Computational Chemistry, Merck Multiple GPCR models can be built using different templates in various states. However, one still needs some way to discern which model is the most “correct” or which is the most useful. One strategy is the use of molecular docking along with available ligand binding data to gauge the validity of the models created. This methodology was applied in an attempt to reproduce a model of the recently solved CCR5 Receptor. The resulting model serves as viable template for virtual screening and recapitulates the binding mode of Maraviroc. This methodology has also been applied prospectively against an in-house target and the metrics of that virtual screen will be discussed. 6:00 Welcome Reception in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing 3:05 Challenges in GPCR Drug Discovery: Ligands, Orphans and Homology Modeling Carlos J. Camacho, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Computational Biology, University of Pittsburgh; Co-Founder & Co-Chairman, Scientific Advisory Board, Carmolex We present a novel pharmacophore-based interactive screening technology that builds on the role anchor residues, or deeply buried hot spots, have in PPIs, to increase hit rates by redesigning these entry points with anchorbiased virtual multicomponent reactions (MCR). This chemistry delivers hundreds of millions of readily synthesizable novel compounds especially suitable to disrupt PPIs, which typically are not amenable to traditional small molecule intervention. Carleton Sage, Ph.D., Fellow, Computational Systems, Arena Pharmaceuticals As the number of crystal structures for GPCRs increases rapidly, the promise of applying homology modeling to GPCR drug discovery with high fidelity becomes a reality. However, the number of orphan receptors still remains significant and ligand-based approaches reign supreme. This talk will present the use and limitations of ligand and homology based approaches in GPCR ligand discovery. Cambridge Healthtech Institute, 250 First Avenue, Suite 300, Needham, MA 02494 www.healthtech.com THURSDAY, MAY 22 8:00 am Morning Coffee INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO ENABLE DISCOVERY 8:40 Chairperson’s Remarks 8:45 Google™-Like Technologies as Alternative to FragmentBased Drug Discovery “Good quality, up-to-date presentations made this a stimulating and informative conference.” - Chief Scientific Officer, De Novo Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

Healthtech.com/StructureBased-Drug-Design 9:15 Identification of Novel Weak Agonists for PPARg through Virtual Screening Anders Hogner, Ph.D., Associate Director, Computational Chemistry, CVMD Innovative Medicines, AstraZeneca This presentation will give an overview of the hit identification process targeting PPARg at AstraZeneca using various virtual screening approaches. Crystal structures of the hits in complex with PPARg demonstrates (as predicted) that the compound utilizes a binding mode distinct from other classical PPARg ligands, presumably explaining the compound’s weak agonistic effect as well as the efficacy in inhibiting phosphorylation. 9:45 Sponsored Presentations (Opportunities Available) 10:15 Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing 10:45 Structure-Based Design and Property Optimization of Potent and Selective Pyrazole Carboxamide Interleukin-2 Inducible T-Cell Kinase (ITK) Inhibitors for the Treatment of Inflammatory Diseases Jason Burch, Ph.D., Scientist, Medicinal Chemistry, Genentech X-ray crystallography and computational methods were used to evolve a double-digit nanomolar pyrazole carboxamide HTS hit into a selective sub-nanomolar ITK inhibitor (>300X potency improvement). Highlights included optimization of the pi-stacking and lipophilic interactions with the phenylalanine “sentinels” of the active site. Further evolution of this scaffold involved optimization of the pharmaceutical properties of the lead matter through the use of calculated properties (e.g. TPSA, solubility index) to guide target selection. »» KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: Structures, 11:15 Chemical Probes, New Biology, New Targets for Drug Discovery: Is This the Right Sequence? Chas Bountra, Ph.D., Head, Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC); Professor, Translational Medicine; Associate Head, Medical Sciences, University of Oxford In my presentation, I will discuss our partnership with nine large pharmaceutical companies to generate structure enabled, freely available, chemical probes; our collaborations with a network of academic labs to use these probes to dissect biological and disease networks; our plans to further improve target validation by using patient derived primary cells, and a new initiative to advance new clinical candidates into Phase IIa studies, pre-competitively. 12:00 pm Close of Conference “The selection of speakers and presentations strongly demonstrated the expansive breadth and impact of structurebased drug design.” Cambridge Healthtech Institute, 250 First Avenue, Suite 300, Needham, MA 02494 www.healthtech.com - Director of Bioinformatics, ActivX Biosciences
