Drug Target Review

NOVEMBER 1, 2023

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.

A crystallographic fragment screen has been run against SARS-CoV-2 and a number of electrophilic fragments were screened using mass spectroscopy. These two screens serve as a launch pad for the COVID Moonshot which looks interesting (although I’d suggest easing off a bit on the propaganda).

We sampled several screening platforms in the course of our efforts, including fragment screening using ligand-observed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), DNA-encoded libraries (DEL), and SEC-MS. Each of these platforms is thoroughly vetted in protein world, but using them on RNA can yield surprising results.

It’s also worth mentioning that fragment screens have been run against SARS-CoV-2 Nsp3 macrodomain at UCSF and Diamond since there are no known inhibitors for this target.
