Industry
Identification of novel compounds with useful and
commercially valuable biological properties.
vastly complex,
multi-disciplinary task
many stages over extended periods of time
Risk
most novel compounds do not result in a drug.
those that do may cause unexpected, long-term
side-effects.
Why CADD?
Drug Discovery today are facing a serious
challenge because of the increased cost and
enormous amount of time taken to discover
a new drug, and also because of rigorous
competition
amongst
different
pharmaceutical companies.

What is Pharmacophore?
Pharmacophore model
Set of points in space defining the binding of ligands
with target.
Key factors in developing such a model are the
determination of functional groups essential for
binding, their correspondence from one ligand to
another, and the common spatial arrangement of these
groups when bound to the receptor
Pharmacophore..?
a molecular framework that carries (phoros) the
essential features responsible for a drugs
(pharmacon) biological activity Paul Erlich, early
1990
a set of structural features in a molecule that is
recognized at a receptor site and is responsible for
that molecules activity Peter Gund, 1977
Basic Features
A set of features common to a series of active
molecules
What are the features?

Quantitative Structure-Activity
Relationships (QSAR)
A QSAR should be
3D QSAR
CoMFA and CoMSIA
Molecules are described by the values of
molecular fields calculated at points in a 3D
grid
The molecular fields are usually steric and
electrostatic
Partial least squares (PLS) analysis used to
correlate the field values with biological
activity
A common pharmacophore is required.
Allignment
Green contours stand for points where sterically bulkier groups are
anticipated to increase the biological activity.
The yellow contours are used to underscore the points where bulkier
groups could lower the biological property.
The electrostatic red plots show where the presence of a negative
charge is expected to enhance the activity.
The blue contours indicate where introducing or keeping positive
charges are expected to better the observed activity.
