The recent availability of several GPCR crystal structures now contributes decisively to the perspective of structure-based ligand design. In this context, computational approaches are extremely helpful, particularly if properly integrated in drug design projects with cooperation between computational and medicinal chemistry teams. Here, we present the pipelines used in one such project, devoted to the design of novel potent and selective antagonists for the different adenosine receptors. The details of the computational strategies are described, and particular attention is given to explain how these procedures can effectively guide the synthesis of novel chemical entities.
最近几种GPCR晶体结构的可得性现在对基于结构的配体设计观点起到了决定性作用。在这种背景下,计算方法极其有用,特别是当与计算化学团队和药物化学团队合作,适当地整合到药物设计项目中时。在此,我们展示了在一个这样的项目中使用的流程,该项目致力于为不同的腺苷受体设计新型强效和选择性拮抗剂。描述了计算策略的细节,并特别关注解释这些程序如何能有效地指导新型化学实体的合成。
