Semicarbazone--a versatile therapeutic pharmacophore for fragment based anticonvulsant drug design.
During the last fifteen years, semicarbazones have been extensively investigated for their anticonvulsant properties. 4-(4-Flurophenoxy) benzaldehyde semicarbazone (C0102862, V102862) was discovered as a lead molecule and is being developed as a potent antiepileptic drug, with maximal electroshock (MES) ED₅₀ of i.p. 12.9 mg kg⁻¹. In MES (oral screen), this compound has a protective index (PI = ...
متن کاملRapid: Randomized Pharmacophore Identiication for Drug Design
This paper describes a randomized approach for nding invariants in a set of exible and chemically distinct ligands (drug molecules) that underlies an integrated software system called RAPID currently under development. An invariant is a collection of features embedded in < 3 which is present in one or more of the possible low-energy conformations of each ligand. Such invariants are called pharm...
متن کاملPharmacophore Modeling for Anti-Chagas Drug Design Using the Fragment Molecular Orbital Method
BACKGROUND Chagas disease, caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is a neglected tropical disease that causes severe human health problems. To develop a new chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of Chagas disease, we predicted a pharmacophore model for T. cruzi dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (TcDHODH) by fragment molecular orbital (FMO) calculation for orotate, oxonate, and 43 orotate deriv...
متن کاملGroupBuild: a fragment-based method for de novo drug design.
A novel method for de novo drug design, GroupBuild, has been developed to suggest chemically reasonable structures which fill the active sites of enzymes. The proposed molecules provide good steric and electrostatic contact with the enzyme and exist in low-energy conformations. These structures are composed entirely of individual functional groups (also known as "building blocks" or "fragments"...
متن کاملSERAPhiC: A Benchmark for in Silico Fragment-Based Drug Design
Our main objective was to compile a data set of high-quality protein-fragment complexes and make it publicly available. Once assembled, the data set was challenged using docking procedures to address the following questions: (i) Can molecular docking correctly reproduce the experimentally solved structures? (ii) How thorough must the sampling be to replicate the experimental data? (iii) Can com...
