Non-HTS Hit Recognition
A retrospective analysis of the drug discovery routes other than HTS
highlights four efficacious strategies giving access to hits and/or lead
compounds:

• Analogue design modification of existing active molecules to create


an improved medicine (or new intellectual property)

• Serendipitous observations of unexpected clinical or pharmacolog-


ical activities (trinitrine, hypoglycemic sulfonamides, sildenafil, etc.)

• Rational design of drugs resulting from the knowledge of the


molecular mechanism and its role in disease (captopril, cimetidine)

• Selective optimization of side activities of known drugs on new


pharmacological targets (SOSA Approach)

SOSA: New Leads from Old Drugs
SOSA = Selective Optimization of Side Activities

1 – Start screening with a limited set of carefully chosen, structurally diverse, drug
molecules (a smart library of about 1000 compounds). Already bioavailability and
toxicity studies have been performed and as they have proven usefulness in human
therapy, all hits that will be found are “drug-like”!

2 – Optimize hits (by means of traditional or parallel chemistry) in order to increase


the affinity for the new target and decrease the affinity for the other targets. The
objective is to prepare analogues of the hit molecule in order to transform the
observed “side activity” into the main effect and to strongly reduce or abolish the
initial pharmacological activity.

Istanbul, September 10-14, 2008
Rationale of the «SOSA» Approach
The rationale behind the SOSA approach lies in the fact that, in
addition to their main activity, almost all drugs used in human
therapy show one or several side effects.

In other words, if they are able to exert a strong interaction with the
main target, they exert also less strong interactions with some other
biological targets. Most of these targets are unrelated to the primary
therapeutic activity of the compound.

The objective is then to proceed to a reversal of the affinities, the


identified side effect is becoming the main effect and vice-versa.

SOSA: Patentability & Interference Risk
• The risk with the SOSA approach is to prepare a molecule already
synthesized by the initial inventors and their early competitors.

• In fact, in optimizing another therapeutic profile than that of the


initial one, the medicinal chemist will rapidly prepare analogues with
chemical structures very different from that of the original hit.

• As an example, a medicinal chemist interested in phospho-


diesterases and using diazepam as lead, will rapidly prepare
compounds which are out of scope of the original patents, precisely
because they exhibit dominantly PDE inhibiting properties and almost
no more affinity for the benzodiazepine receptor.

SOSA: Safety & Bioavailability
• During years of practicing SOSA approaches, we observed that
starting with a drug molecule as lead substance in performing
analogue synthesis, increased notably the probability of obtaining
safe new chemical entities.
• In addition most of them satisfy Lipinski’s1, Veber’s2, Bergström’s3,
and Wenlock’s4 recommendations in terms of solubility, oral
bioavailability, and drug-likeness.

What Is A Pharmacophore ?

“A pharmacophore is the ensemble of steric and electronic


features that is necessary to ensure the optimal supra-
molecular interactions with a specific biological target and to
trigger (or block) its biological response.”

Why Use Pharmacophore Models ?

• Universal
- Pharmacophore models represent chemical functions,
valid not only for the currently bound, but also unknown
molecules

• Computationally Efficient
- Due to their simplicity, they are suitable for large scale virtual
screening (>109 compounds, also in parallel settings)

• Comprehensive & Editable


- Selectivity-tuning by adding or omitting chemical feature
constraints, information can be easily traced back

Implemented Procedure
1. Detect ligand and clean-up the binding site in the protein
(all amino acids within 7Å distance from the ligand)
2. Interpret hybridization status and bond types in the ligand
3. Perform chemical feature recognition for the ligand
(H-bond donor, H-bond acceptor, positive ionizable, negative
ionizable, hydrophobic, aromatic ring, metal ion coordination)
4. Search for corresponding chemical features of the protein
5. Add interaction features to the model only if a corresponding
feature pair is found in the complex
6. Add excluded volume spheres for opposite hydrophobic features

How Can This Information Be Used ?
• Pharmacophores only give geometric fit
values
• Don’t forget about other parameters:
– solvation / entropy
– kinetic parameters
– conformational strain energy …
• Pharmacophores are excellent filter tools
for rapid pre-screening of large compound
libraries
Summer School on Drug Design and Molecular Modeling

Summary ...
First published examples of applications of extensive
parallel screening approach based on pharmacophores
• Multitude of pharmacophore models (up to several thousand …)
• Large set of molecules (up to several million …)

Results indicate
• Correct assignment of selectivity in most cases
• Independent of search algorithms used

Fast, scalable in silico activity profiling is now possible !

Conclusions
• SOSA together with parallel pharmacophore-based
virtual screening is a straightforward and rapid
method for the generation of new lead compounds
• Combined with informatics-based molecular building
tools, optimized design of novel and promising
compounds will become feasible
• Assessment of risks in later development stages
becomes possible on a rational & transparent basis
