Zusammenfassung: | Drug Guru™ (drug generation using rules) is a new web-based computer software program for medicinal chemists that applies a set of transformations, that is, rules, to an input structure. The transformations correspond to medicinal chemistry design rules-of-thumb taken from the historical lore of drug discovery programs. The output of the program is a list of target analogs that can be evaluated for possible future synthesis. A discussion of the features of the program is followed by an example of the software applied to sildenafil (Viagra
®) in generating ideas for target analogs for phosphodiesterase inhibition. Comparison with other computer-assisted drug design software is given. |
