Abstract

FieldScreen, a ligand-based Virtual Screening (VS) method, is described. Its use of 3D molecular fields makes it particularly suitable for scaffold hopping, and we have rigorously validated it for this purpose using a clustered version of the Directory of Useful Decoys (DUD). Using thirteen pharmaceutically relevant targets, we demonstrate that FieldScreen produces superior early chemotype enrichments, compared to DOCK. Additionally, hits retrieved by FieldScreen are consistently lower in molecular weight than those retrieved by docking. Where no X-ray protein structures are available, FieldScreen searches are more robust than docking into homology models or apo structures.

Dokholyan, and Alexander TropshaJournal of Chemical Information and Modeling2012 52 (1), 16-28Poor performance of scoring functions is a well-known bottleneck in structure-based virtual screening (VS), which is most frequently manifested in the scoring functions’ inability to discriminate between true ligands vs known nonbinders (therefore ...

Virtual Screening Data Fusion Using Both Structure- and Ligand-Based Methods
Fredrik Svensson, Anders Karlén, and Christian SköldJournal of Chemical Information and Modeling2012 52 (1), 225-232Virtual Screening Data Fusion Using Both Structure- and Ligand-Based Methods
Fredrik Svensson, Anders Karlén, and Christian SköldJournal of Chemical Information and Modeling2012 52 (1), 225-232Virtual screening is widely applied in drug discovery, and significant effort has been put into improving current methods. In this study, we have evaluated the performance of compound ranking in virtual screening using five different data fusion ...

SHAFTS: A Hybrid Approach for 3D Molecular Similarity Calculation. 1. Method and Assessment of Virtual Screening

Xiaofeng Liu, Hualiang Jiang, and Honglin LiJournal of Chemical Information and Modeling2011 51 (9), 2372-2385We developed a novel approach called SHAFTS (SHApe-FeaTure Similarity) for 3D molecular similarity calculation and ligand-based virtual screening. SHAFTS adopts a hybrid similarity metric combined with molecular shape and colored (labeled) chemistry ...

Paul Bamborough, Murray J. Brown, John A. Christopher, Chun-wa Chung, and Geoff W. MellorJournal of Medicinal Chemistry2011 54 (14), 5131-5143A kinase-focused screening set of fragments has been assembled and has proved successful for the discovery of ligand-efficient hits against many targets. Here we present some of our general conclusions from this exercise. Notably, we present the first ...
