The number of protein kinase inhibitors (PKIs) approved worldwide continues to grow steadily, with 39 drugs in the period between 2001 and January 2018. PKIs on market have been subject many reviews, structure-property relationships specific this class inferred. However, large under development is often overlooked. In paper, we present PKIDB (Protein Kinase Inhibitor Database), a monthly-updated database gathering as well currently clinical trials. compiles 180 ranging from phase 0 4 trials...
In the treatment of AIDS, efficacy all drugs, including non-nucleoside inhibitors (NNRTIs) HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT), has been limited by rapid appearance drug-resistant viruses. Lys103Asn, Tyr181Cys, and Tyr188Leu are some most common RT mutations that cause resistance to NNRTIs in clinic. We report X-ray crystal structures for complexed with three different pyridinone derivatives, R157208, R165481, R221239, at 2.95, 2.9, 2.43 Å resolution, respectively. All ligands exhibit nanomolar...
The emergence of multidrug-resistant strains Mycobacterium tuberculosis and resistance to current anti-TB drugs call for the discovery development new effective drugs. TMC207 is lead candidate a novel class antimycobacterial agents, diarylquinolines, which specifically inhibit mycobacterial ATP synthase displays high activity against both drug-susceptible tuberculosis. This article covers synthesis pathways as well qualitative quantitative analyses structure-activity relationships...
Since the first approval of a protein kinase inhibitor (PKI) by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2001, 55 new PKIs have reached market, many inhibitors are currently being evaluated clinical trials. This is clear indication that kinases still represent major drug targets for pharmaceutical industry. In previous work, we introduced PKIDB, publicly available database, gathering already been approved (Phase 4), as well those trials (Phases 0 to 3). database updated frequently, an analysis...

A preceding paper (Bonfanti et al. J. Med Chem. 2007, 50, 4572−4584) reported the optimization of pharmacokinetic profile substituted benzimidazoles by reducing their tissue retention. However, modifications that were necessary to achieve this goal also led a significant drop in anti-RSV activity. This describes molecular modeling study followed lead program recovery initial potent antiviral activity and selection TMC353121 as clinical candidate.
Compound selectivity is an important issue when developing a new drug. In many instances, lack of can translate to increased toxicity. Protein kinases are particularly concerned with this because they share high sequence and structural similarity. However, may be assessed early on using data generated from protein kinase profiling panels. To guide lead optimization in drug discovery projects, we propose herein two metrics, namely window score (WS) ranking (RS). These metrics applied standard...
The accurate prediction of molecular properties, such as lipophilicity and aqueous solubility, are great importance pose challenges in several stages the drug discovery pipeline. Machine learning methods, graph-based neural networks (GNNs), have shown exceptionally good performance predicting these properties. In this work, we introduce a novel GNN architecture, called directed edge graph isomorphism network (D-GIN). It is composed two distinct sub-architectures (D-MPNN, GIN) achieves an...
R207910 is an enantiomeric compound from a new class of antimycobacterial agents, the diarylquinolines [Science; 307 :223 (2005)]. As enantiospecific interaction required for biologic activity, we have undertaken combined nuclear magnetic resonance and molecular modeling study to gain insights into its conformation in solution absolute configuration. A conformational analysis using Monte‐Carlo method has been performed on each four possible stereomers this leading identification their most...

Over the past two decades, use of fragment-based lead generation has become a common, mature approach to identify tractable starting points in chemical space for drug discovery process. This naturally involves study binding properties highly heterogeneous ligands. Such datasets challenge computational techniques provide comparable free energy estimates from different modes. The performance range statistically robust ensemble-based calculation protocols, called ESMACS (enhanced sampling...
