Abstract Designing covalent inhibitors is a task of increasing importance in drug discovery. Efficiently designing irreversible inhibitors, though, remains challenging. Here, we present covalentizer , computational pipeline for creating based on complex structures targets with known reversible binders. For each ligand, create custom-made focused library analogs. We use docking, to dock these tailored libraries and find those that can bind covalently nearby cysteine while keeping some the...
High throughput and rapid biological evaluation of small molecules is an essential factor in drug discovery development. Direct-to-Biology (D2B), whereby compound purification foregone, has emerged as a viable technique time efficient screening, specifically for PROTAC design evaluation. However, one notable limitation the prerequisite high yielding reactions to ensure desired indeed responsible activity. Herein, we report machine learning based yield-assay deconfounder capable deconvoluting...
