NICEdrug.ch, a workflow for rational drug design and systems-level analysis of drug metabolism

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Noushin Hadadi, Jasmin Maria Hafner, Anush Chiappino-Pepe, Homa Mohammadi Peyhani

The discovery of a drug requires over a decade of intensive research and financial investments – and still has a high risk of failure. To reduce this burden, we developed the NICEdrug.ch resource, which incorporates 250,000 bioactive molecules, and studied ...

Methods for the generation of large combinatorial macrocycle libraries

Sevan Mleh Habeshian

Macrocycles are an attractive class of molecules due to their good binding properties and yet rather small size that allows, in many cases, crossing membranes to reach intracellular targets. In comparison to classical small molecule drugs, macrocycles are ...

Novel irreversible covalent BTK inhibitors discovered using DNA-encoded chemistry

Sevan Mleh Habeshian, Ying Zhang

Libraries of DNA-Encoded small molecules created using combinatorial chemistry and synthetic oligonucleotides are being applied to drug discovery projects across the pharmaceutical industry. The majority of reported projects describe the discovery of rever ...

Image- and Fluorescence-Based Test Shows Oxidant-Dependent Damages in Red Blood Cells and Enables Screening of Potential Protective Molecules

Gerardo Turcatti, Michel Prudent, Benjamin Rappaz, Manon Sandra Bardyn, David Crettaz

An increase of oxygen saturation within blood bags and metabolic dysregulation occur during storage of red blood cells (RBCs). It leads to the gradual exhaustion of RBC antioxidant protective system and, consequently, to a deleterious state of oxidative st ...

Can Precision Electrophile Signaling Make a Meaningful and Lasting Impression in Drug Design?

Yimon Aye, Amogh Kulkarni

For several years, drugs with reactive electrophilic appendages have been developed. These units typically confer prolonged residence time of the drugs on their protein targets, and may assist targeting shallow binding sites and/or improving the drug-prote ...

Drug-to-Antibody Ratio Estimation via Proteoform Peak Integration in the Analysis of Antibody-Oligonucleotide Conjugates with Orbitrap Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry

Yury Tsybin, Laure Menin, Anton Kozhinov, Natalia Gasilova, Konstantin Nagornov

The therapeutic efficacy and pharmacokinetics of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in general, and antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates (AOCs) in particular, depend on the drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) distribution and average value. The DAR is considered a cr ...

An Oculus to Profile and Probe Target Engagement In Vivo: How T-REX Was Born and Its Evolution into G-REX

Chloé Rogg, Yimon Aye

Here we provide a personal account of innovation and design principles underpinning a method to interrogate precision electrophile signaling that has come to be known as "REX technologies". This Account is framed in the context of trying to improve methods ...

Chiral Alkyl Amine Synthesis via Catalytic Enantioselective Hydroalkylation of Enecarbamates

Xile Hu, Deyun Qian, Srikrishna Bera

Chiral alkyl amines are omnipresent as bioactive molecules and synthetic intermediates. The catalytic and enantioselective synthesis of alkyl amines from readily accessible precursors is challenging. Here we develop a nickel-catalyzed hydroalkylation metho ...

DUBS: A Framework for Developing Directory of Useful Benchmarking Sets for Virtual Screening

Guillaume André Jean Fraux

Benchmarking is a crucial step in evaluating virtual screening methods for drug discovery. One major issue that arises among benchmarking data sets is a lack of a standardized format for representing the protein and ligand structures used to benchmark the ...
