This Perspective summarizes successful fragment-to-lead (F2L) studies that were published in 2023 and is the ninth installment in an annual series. A tabulated summary of the relevant articles published in 2023 is provided (17 entries from 16 articles), and a comparison of the target classes, screening methods, and overall fragment or lead property trends for 2023 examples and for the combined entries over the years 2015-2023 is discussed. In addition, we identify several trends and innovations in the 2023 literature that promise to further increase the success of fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD), particularly in the areas of NMR and virtual screening, fragment library design, and fragment linking.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness, safety, and patient preferences associated with switching from intravenous to subcutaneous vedolizumab treatment for inflammatory bowel diseases over a 52-week period.
  • A total of 70 patients were included, with high rates of clinical and biochemical remission observed in both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease groups, while 17.1% discontinued the treatment primarily due to loss of response.
  • Overall, switching to subcutaneous administration showed effective treatment persistence, stable remission rates, and no new safety concerns.
