GPCR-Targeted Library

چکیده
Owing to historic inefficiency of mass random bioscreening, the current paradigm suggests that target-specific and pharmacokinetic properties of small molecule libraries should be addressed as early as possible in the discovery process. Computational medicinal chemistry can address this problem at the level of pre-synthetic library design. A number of advanced in silico methods have recently been developed and applied to combinatorial templates to enhance their target-specific informational content. Appropriate strategies for the design of combinatorial libraries are developed in accordance with the target, disease area, resources on hand, and the specific project goals. In this description, we present a rational, practical approach to the design of GPCR-targeted combinatorial library. The goal of the combinatorial synthesis planning strategy presented here is to construct an algorithm utilizing simple, automated procedures for designing combinatorial libraries that are expected to show GPCR-activity.

متن کاملErratum to: A desirability function-based scoring scheme for selecting fragment-like class A aminergic GPCR ligands
A physicochemical property-based desirability scoring scheme for fragment-based drug discovery was developed for class A aminergic GPCR targeted fragment libraries. Physicochemical property distributions of known aminergic GPCR-active fragments from the ChEMBL database were examined and used for a desirability function-based score. Property-distributions such as log D (at pH 7.4), PSA, pKa (str...
متن کاملCrosstalk between G-protein-coupled receptors and epidermal growth factor receptor in cancer.
EGFR and its respective ligands are overexpressed in various tumors and this over-expression correlates with poor prognosis in selected cancers. In addition to direct activation by EGFR autocrine ligands, the large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) has been reported to transactivate EGFR via both ligand-dependent and independent mechanisms. GPCRs can induce the cleavage of membrane-...
متن کاملGPCR-GRAPA-LIB-a refined library of hidden Markov Models for annotating GPCRs
GPCR-GRAPA-LIB is a library of HMMs describing G protein coupled receptor families. These families are initially defined by class of receptor ligand, with divergent families divided into subfamilies using phylogenic analysis and knowledge of GPCR function. Protein sequences are applied to the models with the GRAPA curve-based selection criteria. RefSeq sequences for Homo sapiens, Drosophila mel...
