The document summarizes the principles of drug discovery, including the following key points:
1) Drug discovery is a lengthy, expensive, and inefficient process involving target identification, screening, preclinical testing, and clinical trials that can take over 10 years from initial compound to approved drug.
2) Natural products, especially from plants, microbes, and marine organisms, have historically been an important source of leads for drug discovery due to their chemical diversity.
3) The modern drug discovery process involves high-throughput screening of large libraries of synthetic compounds and natural products to identify initial hits, which are then optimized in the hit-to-lead phase through medicinal chemistry and further testing.

Applied Bioinformatics & Chemoinformatics: Techniques, Tools, and OpportunitiesHezekiah Fatoki
The computational methods for in silico drug discovery have been broadly categories into two fields bioinformatics and chemoinformatics. In case of bioinformatics, major emphasis is on identification and validation of drug targets, mainly based on functional/structural annotation of genomes. In case of chemoinformatics or pharmacoinformatics, major emphasis is on designing of drug molecules or ligands and their interaction with drug targets.

Principles of drug discovery
1.
2. The processes of new drug discovery and development are long, complicated and dependent upon the expertise of a wide variety of scientific, technical and managerial groups.
3. Here are the different stages of drug discovery and development.
4. There are four stages in the drug discovery. They are
5. Synthesis or isolation of the compound which involves different techniques like extraction methods, chromatographic techniques for isolation and different methods of synthesis. This section in drug discovery takes 1-2 yrs
6.
7. Phase IV or post market surveillance is the time involving step, which cannot be predicted.
8. As the drug may be success with out any adverse effects or it is rejected or send back for further optimization.
9. Success rate in getting from an initial compound to an approved and commercially available product is very low.
10. < 2% of new compounds investigated may show suitable biological activity
11. Modification of an existing drug can yield as little as 1% suitable compounds
12. < 10% of these compounds result in successful human clinical trials and reaches the market place
13.
14. For many series of compounds, lengthening of a saturated carbon side chain from one (methyl) to five to nine atoms (pentyl to nonyl) produces an increase in pharmacological effects. Lengthening results in a sudden decrease in potency
15. This phenomenon corresponds to increased lipophilicity of the molecule to permit penetration into cell membranes until its lowered water solubility becomes problematic in its transport through aqueous media.
16.
17. Then chain branching flowers the potency of a compound because a branched alkyl chain is less lipophilic than the corresponding straight alkyl chain as a result of larger molar volumes and shapes of branched compounds.
18. This phenomenon is exemplified by the lower potency of the compounds having isoalkyl chains
19.
20.
21. Bioisosterism is an important lead modification approach that has been shown to be useful to attenuate toxicity or to modify the activity of a lead, and may have a significant role in the alteration of pharmacokinetics of a lead.
24. Typically, these chemical libraries are prepared in a systematic and repetitive way by covalent assembly of building blocks (various reactant molecules that build up parts of the overall structure)
25. To give a diverse array of molecules with a common scaffold (the parent structure in the family of compounds).
30. Because of the insolubility of the polymer, everything not attached to the polymer is removed, which allows the use of excess reagents to drive the synthetic reactions.
31. The disadvantages of this methodology are the difficulty in scaling up the reactions and the sluggishness of reactions.
32. An alternative strategy (covalent scavenger technology) is to carry out the reactions in solution with excess reagent, which is then scavenged with a polymeric-supported scavenger after the reaction is completed
33. In this approach, filtration removes the excess reagent attached to the scavenger polymer, leaving the product in solution.
34. Another approach is to use polymer-supported reagents with solution reactions.
35.
36. The result of a split synthesis is a collection of polymer beads, each containing one library member, i.e., one bead, one compound.
39. oligomers and each bead carries only about 100–500 pmol of product, which makes structure determination difficult or impossible.
40. For simple compounds mass spectrometric methods may be used but this is not applicable if the library contains many thousands or millions of members that may not be pure or are isomeric with other library members. In that case, encoding methods need to be utilized.
41. For example: how the split synthesis approach would be applied to a small (27-member) library of all possible tripeptides of three amino acids.
43. A homogeneous mixture of all of the tripeptides of His, Val, and Ser could be synthesized on a Merrifield resin
44. Note that a Merrifield synthesis starts at the ‘C’ terminus and builds to the ‘N’ terminus.
45. The homogenization step is very important to ensure that each tube contains the same mixture of resin-bound compounds.
46. The process shown in Scheme was carried out, but starting with 20 separate tubes containing methyl benzhydryl amine (MBHA) polystyrene as the resin. (This resin produces peptide amides when peptides are cleaved from it.)
47. A combinatorial library of penta=peptides containing the 20 standard amino acids was constructed on the MBHA resin, homogenized, then separated into 20 tubes.
48. To each of the 20 different tubes was added a different N-acetylamino acid, so that in each tube there was a combinatorial library of all possible resin-linked N-acetyl hexa peptides having the same N terminus.
49. Each tube contained all of the N-acetyl hexa peptides starting with a different N-terminal amino acid.
50. An aliquot from each of the 20 tubes is removed and assayed.
53. As mentioned above, with large libraries of complex molecules it is not readily possible to determine the structure of the active component.
54. In that case, encoding methods are needed. This is similar to the way in which proteins are often sequenced in biology.
55. the protein is not sequenced, but the gene that encodes the protein is Although the structure of the actual compound may not be directly elucidated, certain tag molecules that encode the structure may be determined.
56. One important approach that involves the attachment of unique arrays of readily analyzable, chemically inert, small molecule tags to each bead in a split synthesis
57. Ideal encoding tags must survive organic synthesis conditions, not interfere with screening assays, be readily decoded without ambiguity, encode large numbers of compounds the test compound and the encoding tag must be able to be packed into a very small volume.
58. In the Still method, groups of tags are attached to a bead at each combinatorial step in a split synthesis.
59. The tags create a record of the building blocks used in that step. At the end of the synthesis the tags are removed and analyzed, which decodes the structure of the compound attached to that bead.
60. one or more readily cleavable tag molecules (TagsX) are attached to about 1% of the
61.
62. However, there is an important difference between the chemistry with peptides versus nonpeptides, namely, reactivity.
63.
64. Over the years it has been recognized that when large numbers of nonpeptide analogs are screened simultaneously, many false negatives (an active compound that does not produce a hit, i.e., a compound that shows a predetermined level of activity in the assay) and false Positives (an inactive compound that gives a hit) are observed.
65. A false positive may arise from an impurity in the sample tested or as a result of a complex between more than one compound.
66. False positives are a waste of time, but false negatives mean that potential drugs (or at least lead compounds) are being overlooked.
67. It is typical for pharmaceutical companies to carry out single entity screens to avoid these problems. Because of this, individual compounds, rather than mixtures, are synthesized.
68. Nonetheless, synthesis on a solid support allows the synthesis of large numbers of individual compounds rapidly and robotically.
69. The reactions are carried out individually in separate micro tubes containing the polymeric support.
70. Because the library of compounds (in the range of 50–104 compounds in amounts of 1–50 mg) is synthesized in parallel without combining any of the tubes.S
71. One strategy that can be used for potentially more effective libraries is to select privileged structures as the scaffold.
72. Another strategy is to design a scaffold based on an important molecular recognition motif in the target receptor.
73. The libraries should incorporate different sets of (commercially available) building blocks to provide a large number of diverse structures, and they should contain as much functionality as possible as recognition elements.
75. Dixon and Villar have found that a protein can bind a set of structurally diverse molecules with similar potent binding affinities, but analogs closely related to these compounds can exhibit very weak binding.
76.
77. The first step of the process involves screening a library of small compounds, 10 at a time, by observation of the amide 15N-chemical shift in the heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) NMR spectrum.
78. Once a lead is identified, a library of analogs is screened to identify compounds with optimal binding at that site.
79. Then a second library of compounds is screened to find a compound that binds at a nearby site, and again this compound is optimized by screening a library of related compounds.
80. Based on the NMR spectrum of the ternary complex of the protein and the two bound ligands, the location and orientation of these ligands are determined, and compounds are synthesized in which the two ligands are covalently attached
81. Although each individual ligand may be a relatively weak binder, when the two are attached, the binding affinity increases dramatically.
82. This is because the free energy of binding becomes the sum of three free energies: the two ligands and the linker; the binding affinity is the multiplier of the three binding affinities.
83. There is a gain of about a factor of 100 in binding affinity by freezing out one bond rotation. Therefore, it is not necessary to optimize the lead much, because ligands with micromolar or even mill molar affinities can attain nanomolar affinities
84. When linked. An example of this is the identification of the first potent inhibitor of the enzyme stromelysin, a matrix metalloprotease (a family of zinc-containing hydrolytic enzymes responsible for degradation of extracellular matrix components such as collagen and proteoglycans
85. In normal tissue remodeling and in many disease states such as arthritis, osteoporosis, and cancer) as a potential antitumor agent
86.
87. A remarkable resemblance was demonstrated between the N-terminal tyrosine structure of these opioid peptides and the morphine phenol ring system, which suggested why they all interacted with these receptors in a similar way.
88. The design of peptidomimetics can be a lead optimization approach, which uses the desired peptide as the lead compound and modifies it to minimize (or preferably, eliminate) the undesirable pharmokinetic properties.
89. The generation of peptidomimetics is based on the conformational, topochemical, and electronic properties of the lead peptide when bound toits target receptor or enzyme.The 7 goal is to replace as much of the peptide backbone as possible with nonpeptide fragments while still maintaining the pharmacophoric groups (usually the amino acid side chains) of the peptide. This makes the compound more lipophilic, which increases its bioavailability.
90. Replacement of the amide bond with alternative groups prevents proteolysis and promotes metabolic stability.
91. Initially, conformational flexibility has to be retained to allow the pharmacophoric groups a better opportunity to find their binding sites, but further lead refinement should favor the formation of more conformationally restricted analogs that hold appropriate pharmacophoric groups in the bioactive conformation for binding to the target receptor.
92. Increased lipophilicity and conformational modification of amino acids can be designed into the peptidomimetic. These groups may not be recognized by peptidases. For example conformational restricted analogs of phenylalanine can be incorporated into peptidomimetic receptor ligands.
94. Another approach involves the design of conformationally restricted analogs that mimic characteristics of the receptor-bound conformation of the endogenous peptide, such as turns,α-helices-loops and β-strands This idea can be extended to scaffold peptidomimetics in which importantPharmacophoric residues are held in the appropriate orientation by a rigid template.
95. Compounds that block the binding of fibrinogen to its receptor (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa) can prevent platelet aggregation and are of potential value in the treatment of strokes and heart attacks. Common and important approach for the conversion of a peptide lead into a peptidomimetic is the use of peptide backbone isosteres .
96. Peptides in which the amide bonds are replaced with alternative groups are known as pseudo peptides.
