Abstract
Covalent hits for drug discovery campaigns are neither fantastic beasts nor mythical creatures, they can be routinely identified through electrophile-first screening campaigns using a suite of different techniques. These include biophysical and biochemical methods, cellular approaches, and DNA-encoded libraries. Employing best practice, however, is critical to success. The purpose of this review is to look at state of the art covalent hit identification, how to identify hits from a covalent library and how to select compounds for medicinal chemistry programmes.
药物发现活动中的共价化合物既不是神奇的野兽,也不是神话中的生物,它们可以通过亲电子先筛选活动,利用一系列不同的技术进行常规鉴定。这些技术包括生物物理和生物化学方法、细胞方法和 DNA 编码库。然而,采用最佳实践是成功的关键。本综述的目的是介绍最先进的共价反应识别技术、如何从共价化合物库中识别反应,以及如何为药物化学项目选择化合物。
期刊介绍:
Advancing Life Sciences R&D: SLAS Discovery reports how scientists develop and utilize novel technologies and/or approaches to provide and characterize chemical and biological tools to understand and treat human disease.
SLAS Discovery is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes scientific reports that enable and improve target validation, evaluate current drug discovery technologies, provide novel research tools, and incorporate research approaches that enhance depth of knowledge and drug discovery success.
SLAS Discovery emphasizes scientific and technical advances in target identification/validation (including chemical probes, RNA silencing, gene editing technologies); biomarker discovery; assay development; virtual, medium- or high-throughput screening (biochemical and biological, biophysical, phenotypic, toxicological, ADME); lead generation/optimization; chemical biology; and informatics (data analysis, image analysis, statistics, bio- and chemo-informatics). Review articles on target biology, new paradigms in drug discovery and advances in drug discovery technologies.
SLAS Discovery is of particular interest to those involved in analytical chemistry, applied microbiology, automation, biochemistry, bioengineering, biomedical optics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, cell biology, DNA science and technology, genetics, information technology, medicinal chemistry, molecular biology, natural products chemistry, organic chemistry, pharmacology, spectroscopy, and toxicology.
SLAS Discovery is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and was published previously (1996-2016) as the Journal of Biomolecular Screening (JBS).
