  1. Physiochemical property space distribution among human metabolites, drugs and toxins Varun Khannaand Shoba Ranganathan Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia vkhanna@cbms.mq.edu.au

  2. Outline of the presentation • Introduction • Chemoinformatics and current drug discovery approach • Drug-likeness and related measures • Molecular bioactivity space • Results • Conclusion

  3. Chemoinformatics • Chemistry + Informatics = Chemoinformatics • Brown 1998; Willett 2007 • Involves many sub-disciplines today, such as: • Similarity and diversity analysis • CASD-Computer Aided Synthesis Design • CASE-Computer Aided Structure Elucidation • QSAR-Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship

  4. Current drug discovery process: 10-15 years & US $1 billion Target identification Lead identification Preclinical testing Disease Market Approved by regulatory authorities Human clinical trials

  5. Toxicity: major cause of drug failures • Schuster D, Laggner C, Langer T: Why drugs fail - a study on side effects in new chemical entities. Curr Pharm Des 2005, 11(27):3545-3559. • Gut J, Bagatto D: Theragenomic knowledge management for individualised safety of drugs, chemicals, pollutants and dietary ingredients. Expert Opin Drug Metab Toxicol 2005, 1(3):537-554. • However, there is no comparison of toxins to drugs or any other drug-like set of molecules. • Data resources available: • Distributed Structure-Searchable Toxicity (DSSTox) Carcinogenic Potency Database (potency.berkeley.edu)

  6. Outline of the presentation • Introduction • Chemoinformatics and current drug discovery approach • Drug-likeness and related measures • Molecular bioactivity space • Results • Conclusion

  7. A very brief history of “drug-likeness” • Lipinski’s Rule of Five (Ro5) dominated drug design and discovery since 1997 • A molecule is “non-drug-like” if it has >5 five hydrogen bond donors, >10 hydrogen bond acceptors, molecular mass >500 and lipophilicity (measured as AlogP) >5. • Recently, metabolite-likeness is important for designing targeted drugs, that act on specific metabolic pathways (Dobson et al., 2009) • Data resources available are: • Human Metabolite Database (www.hmdb.ca) • DrugBank (www.drugbank.ca)

  8. Molecular bioactivity space

  9. Large scale physiochemical property comparison In this paper, we present • Comprehensive analysis of • Drugs • Metabolites • Toxins • Comparison of • Ro5 • 1D • 3D • Clustered (or representative) vs. unclustered (or raw) datasets (for the first time)

  10. Clustered and unclustered (raw) datasets

  11. Properties of drug-like molecules • Lipinski properties (Ro5) • 1D properties • Number of atoms • Number of nitrogen and oxygen atoms • Number of rings • Number of rotatable bonds • 3D properties • Molecular volume • Molecular surface area • Molecular polar surface area • Molecular solvent accessible surface area Analysis Software • SciTegic Pilot (accelrys.com/products/scitegic) • Clustering: Using “Cluster Clara” algorithm and employing ECFP_4 fingerprints as molecular descriptors.

  12. Outline of the presentation • Introduction • Chemoinformatics and current drug discovery approach • Drug-likeness and related measures • Molecular bioactivity space • Results • Conclusion

  21. Conclusions • 70% of the metabolites are outside Lipinski universe whereas 90% of the toxins abide by Lipinski’s rule. • Ro5 does not explicitly take toxicity into account and therefore present day drugs are more akin to toxins. • Empirical rules like the “Ro5” can be refined to increase the coverage of drugs or drug-like molecules that are clearly not close to toxic compounds. • Clustered and unclustered datasets are very similar, except in the case of the number of oxygen atoms, the molecular polar surface area and the number of rings.
