Modern Drug Discovery


Whats different?
Drug

discovery process begins with a disease (rather than a treatment) disease model to pinpoint relevant genetic/biological components (i.e. possible drug targets)

Interesting facts...

Over 90% of drugs entering clinical trials fail to make it to market The average cost to bring a new drug to market is estimated at $770 million

Relating druggable targets to disease...


Analysis of Pharm industry reveals:
GPCR

Other 110 families

Over 400 proteins used as drug targets

STY kinases Cys proteases Gated ionchannel

Zinc peptidases Nuclear PDE receptor Serine proteases

Ion channels

P450 enzymes

Sequence analysis of these proteins shows that most targets fall within a few major gene families (GPCRs, kinases, proteases and peptidases)

Assessing Target Druggability


Once

a target is defined for your disease of interest, SBI can help answer the question:

Is this a druggable target?


Does it have sequence/domains similar to known targets? Does the target have a site where a drug can bind, and with appropriate affinity?

Proteomics

Proteomics studies networks of proteins by measuring, among other things, protein expression. Protein activity is regulated by post-translational modification and degradation; these cannot yet be predicted from DNA sequence. Proteomics measures protein expression directly, not via gene expression, thus achieving better accuracy. Current work uses 2-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) and mass spectrometry. New separation and characterization technologies, such as protein microarrays and high-throughput chromatography, are being developed

Proteomics in Drug Discovery

As we have seen genomics has dramatically altered the way drug discovery is now being viewed.
However, there may not be a good correlation between gene expression and protein expression as most disease processes and treatments are manifest at the protein level.

It is believed that gene-based expression analysis alone will be totally inadequate for drug discovery.

Proteomics is Drug Discovery

Proteomics has unique and significant advantages as an important complement to a genomics approach. Target/marker identification

Target/marker identification
This application of proteomics provides a protein profile of a cell, tissue and/or bodily fluids that can be used to compare a healthy with a diseased state for protein differences in the search for drugs or drug targets.

20/03/2008

Dept.of Pharmaceutics

22

Target validation/toxicology

Proteomics can be applied as an assay procedure for the potential utility of drug candidates. This can be achieved by a comparative analysis of reference protein profiles from normal or diseased states with profiles after drug treatment (Wang 1999). Proteomics technology can also be integrated with combinatorial chemistry to evaluate comparative structure-activity relationships of drug analogs.

Protein-Ligand Docking

Starting orientation of the program with 2 water molecules as the Protein and Ligand (a useful setup for testing the application). The energy of the system is in J/mol.
20/03/2008 Dept.of Pharmaceutics 24

Protein-Ligand Docking

Independent control of both molecules is allowed. The leftmost molecule is rotated using a trackball style rotation, while the second molecule remains fixed.
20/03/2008 Dept.of Pharmaceutics 25

Protein-Ligand Docking

From the previous figure, the second molecule has been independently translated up and away from the first molecule. Molecules can be arbitrarily positioned and oriented in 3D
20/03/2008 Dept.of Pharmaceutics 26

Protein-Ligand Docking

This is the same setup as the previous figure, except the viewpoint has been rotated, translated and zoomed to a different location. The energy of the system remains the same as the molecules are physically unmoved relative to each other
20/03/2008 Dept.of Pharmaceutics 27

Protein-Ligand Docking

The two oxygen atoms are just overlapping and consequently the energy of the system takes on a large negative value indicating a VERY high energy (the energy well is reversed for the purpose of the program, so large positive values indicate a favourable conformation, and large negative values indicate unfavourable conformations
20/03/2008 Dept.of Pharmaceutics 28

Protein-Ligand Docking

Here the atoms are at an optimum distance for the van der Waals Forces to hit the minimum of the well potential. However, the atoms are not aligned for any dipole-dipole interaction or hydrogen bonding
20/03/2008 Dept.of Pharmaceutics 29

Protein-Ligand Docking

The energy of the system attains a maximum with the following orientation. This is the orientation that occurs between water molecules when ice forms. This puts the hydrogen bond in its optimum orientation, and this changes makes another order of magnitude difference in the energy of the system
20/03/2008 Dept.of Pharmaceutics 30

Protein-Ligand Docking

Structure being the key to function, determining a proteins structure is a key step toward elucidating its role. The subfield of protein-ligand docking is useful in rational drug design. Laboratory prediction is time consuming and expensive, so researchers have been working on computerized prediction for several decades. Exact computational prediction is difficult but sophisticated algorithms to find approximate solutions continue to be developed.

Critical Assessment of Methods of Protein Structure Prediction


Computational groups predict structures of proteins whose structures have been found in the laboratory before the latter results are released. Tools are Classified
1.

Comparative modeling looks for amino acid similarity to proteins of known structure.

2.

Fold recognition predicts folds in regions that do not share amino acid similarity with known structures
