This chapter describes two powerful 3D ligand-based shape similarity and scoring methods called ROCS and EON, their basic operation and selected validation data. The steps required to prepare a database of molecules for successful use with ROCS and EON are described and selected examples of their application in prospective lead discovery experiments are summarized.

The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channel belongs to the transient receptor potential channel superfamily and participates in many physiological processes. TRPV1 modulators (both agonists and antagonists) can effectively inhibit pain caused by various factors and have curative effects in various diseases, such as itch, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the development of TRPV1 channel modulators is of great importance.

The cyclooxygenase-2 receptor is a therapeutic target for planning potential drugs with anti-inflammatory activity. The selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor rofecoxib was selected as a pivot molecule to perform virtual ligand-based screening from six commercial databases. We performed the search for similarly shaped Rapid Overlay of Chemical Structures (ROCS) and electrostatic (EON) compounds.

(Linnaeus, 1762; Diptera: Culicidae) is the main vector transmitting viral diseases such as dengue fever, dengue haemorrhagic fever, urban yellow fever, zika and chikungunya. Worldwide, especially in the Americas and Brazil, many cases of dengue have been reported in recent years, which have shown significant growth. The main control strategy is the elimination of the vector, carried out through various education programs, to change human habits, but the most usual is biological control, together with environmental management and chemical control.

is the main vector of dengue fever transmission, yellow fever, Zika, and chikungunya in tropical and subtropical regions and it is considered to cause health risks to millions of people in the world. In this study, we search to obtain new molecules with insecticidal potential against via virtual screening. Pyriproxyfen was chosen as a template compound to search molecules in the database Zinc_Natural_Stock (ZNSt) with structural similarity using ROCS (rapid overlay of chemical structures) and EON (electrostatic similarity) software, and in the final search, the top 100 were selected.
