Lead optimization Scaffold hopping

چکیده
The aim of scaffold hopping is to discover structurally novel compounds starting from known active compounds by modifying the central core structure of the molecule. Scaffold hopping is a central task of modern medicinal chemistry requiring a multitude of techniques, which are discussed in this article. Their application has led to several molecules with chemically completely different core structures, and yet binding to the same receptor. Computational approaches for scaffold hopping highlight the challenges of the field that are still unsolved.

BoBER: web interface to the base of bioisosterically exchangeable replacements
We describe a novel freely available web server Base of Bioisosterically Exchangeable Replacements (BoBER), which implements an interface to a database of bioisosteric and scaffold hopping replacements. Bioisosterism and scaffold hopping are key concepts in drug design and optimization, and can be defined as replacements of biologically active compound's fragments with other fragments to improv...
متن کاملScaffold Hopping in Drug Discovery Using Inductive Logic Programming
In chemoinformatics, searching for compounds which are structurally diverse and share a biological activity is called scaffold hopping. Scaffold hopping is important since it can be used to obtain alternative structures when the compound under development has unexpected side-effects. Pharmaceutical companies use scaffold hopping when they wish to circumvent prior patents for targets of interest...

متن کاملScaffold Hopping and Bioisosteric Replacements Based on Binding Site Alignments
Bioisosteric replacements and scaffold hopping play an important role in modern drug discovery and design, as they enable the change of either a core scaffold or substitutes in a drug structure, thereby facilitating optimization of pharmacokinetic properties and patenting, while the drug retains its activity. A new knowledge-based method was developed to obtain bioisosteric or scaffold replacem...
