Does size matter?
Posted on April 23, 2010 | 1 CommentThe goal of drug discovery is to find potent and selective inhibitors for particular targets. A good ligand thus should be small (for better bio-availability) and potent. The larger is... -
Do we need those nM-inhibitors?
Posted on November 11, 2009 | 1 CommentIt’s “well known” that we all need to find the stronger inhibitors against any specific therapeutic target as possible. The motivation is that the strongest inhibitors are most probably less... -
How drug-like are vendor libraries?
Posted on October 26, 2009 | No CommentsWe use a few chemical compounds vendors in our drug discovery programs (let us call them “Provider I”, “Provider II”, and “Provider III”). Nowadays chemicals providers normally claim about 1M... -
Drug likeness: what do bioavailability and toxicity properties tell us about druglikeness?
Posted on January 9, 2008 | No CommentsDruglikeness is a qualitative concept used in drug design for an estimate on how “druglike” a prospective compound is. Usually it is estimated from the molecular structure, often even before...
