A new field-derived 3D method for receptor-based scaffold hopping, implemented in the software SHOP, is presented. Information from a protein-ligand complex is utilized to substitute a fragment of the ligand with another fragment from a database of synthetically accessible scaffolds. A GRID-based interaction profile of the receptor and geometrical descriptions of a ligand scaffold are used to obtain new scaffolds with different structural features and are able to replace the original scaffold in the protein-ligand complex. An enrichment study was successfully performed verifying the ability of SHOP to find known active CDK2 scaffolds in a database. Additionally, SHOP was used for suggesting new inhibitors of p38 MAP kinase. Four p38 complexes were used to perform six scaffold searches. Several new scaffolds were suggested, and the resulting compounds were successfully docked into the query proteins.

A receptor-based pharmacophore model describing the binding features required for the multi-kinase inhibition of the target kinases (VEGFR-2, FGFR-1, and BRAF) were constructed and validated. It showed a good overall quality in discriminating between the active and the inactive in a compiled test set compounds with F1 score of 0.502 and Mathew's correlation coefficient of 0.

In the current study we suggest a novel approach to curb non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) progression, and we suggest privileged scaffolds for the design of novel compounds for this aim. NASH is an advanced form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease that can further progress into fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is a widely emerging disease affecting 25% of the global population and has no current approved treatments.

Urea-functionalized anion receptors based on brominated functionalized pillar[5]arenes were prepared. The binding affinity toward halide anions was investigated and probed using H NMR titration and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). The complexation behavior was affected by the structure of the receptor and the nature of the anionic guest.

Deep learning (DL) and machine learning contribute significantly to basic biology research and drug discovery in the past few decades. Recent advances in DL-based generative models have led to superior developments in de novo drug design. However, data availability, deep data processing, and the lack of user-friendly DL tools and interfaces make it difficult to apply these DL techniques to drug design.

Centriole duplication occurs once per cell cycle and is regulated by Polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4). Overexpression of PLK4 in somatic cells can lead to the excessive formation of centrioles, directly causing chromosome segregation errors and tumorigenesis. In this study, we described our efforts to develop a series of PLK4 inhibitors with 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine core, and further structure- and receptor-based design and optimization resulted in a potent inhibitor WY29 (IC = 0.
