Advancements in hit identification for membrane protein drug discovery

Drug Target Review

GPCRs are critical targets for drug development due to their involvement in numerous disease pathologies, with many medications working by either activating or inhibiting these receptors. 2022) Why 90% of clinical drug development fails and how to improve it?, References Sun D, et al. doi:10.1016/j.apsb.2022.02.002.

Target-directed cancer: protein-ligand interactions  

Drug Target Review

In terms of compound libraries, we have a high-throughput screening library of about 200,000 ligands. For fragment screening, which are much smaller compounds, we have a library of about 3000 fragments. We can screen with many different formats and modalities.

The second virtual screen focused on optimization of a hit from a previous crystallographic fragment screen. Fragment-to-lead optimization was guided by searches in a library of millions of compounds combined with docking screens to select the best candidate. 2021;374(6575):1586-1593. Clinicaltrials.gov.
