Using Structural Data in molecular modelling for pharmaceutical design

• Intramolecular – 3D geometry– Designing in the desired Conformer

– Validation that models have correct geometry

• Intermolecular – Interactions between molecules– Design of pharmacophores

– Validation of interactions found during modelling

– Identification of new ways to satisfy binding motifs

– Knowledge-based scoring functions for docking

Designing in the right Conformation (1)

Brameld. K.A., Kuhn, B., Reuter, D.C. and Stahl, M. J. Chem. Inf. Mod, 48(1), 1-24 2008)

It is possible using Conquest to generate incidence histograms for any geometric feature , for any substructure, if sufficient high quality structures including that substructure, are present in the CSD

Designing in the right Conformation (2)

Sulphonamide is common in drug molecules. Its conformational behaviour well captured by CSD

Ortho Substitution (Blue histogram) shifts the maximum

Pyramidalisation of the N of the sulphonamide can also be explored. This is a common effect in sulphonamides (and piperidines) but is poorly reproduced by modelling software

Validation of PDB Ligand Geometry

PDB structures suffer from less well defined electron density

Protein X-Ray refinement force fields often are poorly parameterised to reproduce ligand geometries

Sometimes protein crystallographers start with a poor ligand model

Mogul 1.3: Ring Conformations

• Mogul currently holds data on bonds, angles and torsions.

• In the 2010 release of the Cambridge Structural Database System Mogul will also contain a comprehensive ring knowledge base

• Ring libraries from α-Mogul 1.3 have been introduced into Gold 4.1 to allow knowledge- based ring-flexing during docking

Using Intermolecular information to build pharmacophores from proteins

Use intermolecular information (IsoStar) to map a protein binding site (e.g. using SuperStar, an extra module to the CSDS )

Create a pharmacophore from this information (possible in SuperStar) c.f. GRID/FLAP

Motif searching

Certain signature interaction motifs might be key to identifying inhibitor substructures of interest. Can we identify such motifs in the CSD and thereby uncover new ideas?

1. Comparison of crystal structures: polymorphs, solvates etc can identify significant ‘packing features’.

2. We can then search the CSD using ‘Packing Feature Search’

• Protein/Ligand Docking relies on a scoring function to rank binding poses

– Scoring functions may be Molecular Mechanics based, Empirical or Knowledge Based

• A Knowledge Based score is calculated by the sum of atom-atom potentials derived from a crystallographic database

The atom-atom potential = - log

• Knowledge based scoring functions (PMF, Bleep, DrugScore, ASP) have been developed using protein-ligand data (PDB)

• The CSD contains better resolved structures and a much greater variety of chemical functionality than the PDB

– DrugScoreCSD has demonstrably improved performance over DrugScore (Velec, Gohlke & Klebe, J. Med. Chem., 48 (2005), 6296 )

Uses of Small Molecule Structural Data in Drug Design: Conclusions

• Use in Model Validation -

– Geometry of designed synthetic candidates

– Geometry of X-ray derived Ligand Structures

– Intermolecular interactions of a candidate structure with a model of binding site

• Design of Pharmacophores

• Search for fragments fitting a binding motif

• Creation of robust and versatile Knowledge-Based scoring functions for docking
