Computation of the physio-chemical properties and data mining of large molecular collections

Very large data sets of molecules screened against a broad range of targets have become available due to the advent of combinatorial chemistry. This information has led to the realization that ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) and toxicity issues are important to consider prior to library synthesis. Furthermore, these large data sets provide a unique and important source of information regarding what types of molecular shapes may interact with specific receptor or target classes. Thus, the requirement for rapid and accurate data mining tools became paramount. To address these issues Pharmacopeia, Inc. formed a computational research group, The Center for Informatics and Drug Discovery (CIDD).* In this review we cover the work done by this group to address both in silico ADME modeling and data mining issues faced by Pharmacopeia because of the availability of a large and diverse collection (over 6 million discrete compounds) of drug-like molecules. In particular, in the data mining arena we discuss rapid docking tools and how we employ them, and we describe a novel data mining tool based on a ID representation of a molecule followed by a molecular sequence alignment step. For the ADME area we discuss the development and application of absorption, blood-brain barrier (BBB) and solubility models. Finally, we summarize the impact the tools and approaches might have on the drug discovery process.

Influence of neutral cyclodextrin concentration on plate numbers in capillary electrophoresis

A quantitative theory of plate number N in capillary electrophoresis was developed for buffers containing neutral cyclodextrins (CDs) capable of forming inclusion complexes. In the theory, N was modeled by longitudinal diffusion, injection extent, width of the detection window, and the detector time constant. The apparent mobility was modeled as a weighted sum of the mobilities of the free-solution analyte and the inclusion complex. The apparent diffusion coefficient was modeled as a similarly weighted sum. Both the apparent mobility and diffusion coefficient were corrected by functions that compensated for increases of buffer temperature caused by Joule heat. The experimental N's and apparent mobilities of neutral thiourea and of the anions, dansyl D- and L-leucine, dansyl D- and L-aspartic acid, benzoate, and 4-nitrophenolate, were determined in buffers containing from 0 to 15 mM beta-CD. The binding constants, and mobilities and diffusion coefficients of the free-solution analyte and inclusion complex, were calculated as regression coefficients by fitting theory to these determinations. The regression coefficients were shown to have physicochemical meaning, as assessed by literature values, independent measurements, and theoretical predictions. The assessment showed the Nernst-Einstein equation does not relate mobilities and diffusion coefficients at the electrolyte concentration used. The interdependence of mobilities, diffusion coefficients, binding constants, and other dispersion sources was interpreted to evaluate the factors affecting the variation of N with CD concentration. From the interpretation, an approximate equation for N in low-concentration CD buffers was derived. The equation depends on free-solution and inclusion-complex mobilities and diffusion coefficients, the binding constant, the potential difference over the effective capillary length, and the number of plates in a CD-free buffer.

Aminonaphthalic anhydrides as red-emitting materials: electroluminescence, crystal structure, and photophysical properties

The red and orange emitters (ANA-1-3) consisting of a 4-amino-1,8-naphthalic anhydride group were synthesized. The lowest absorption band of these ANA molecules centered at approximately 450 nm is assigned to be a charge-transfer transition with emission at 514-536 nm in nonpolar solvents such as n-hexane and at approximately 590-640 nm in polar solvents such as THF and CH(2)Cl(2) and in the solid states. Emission lifetimes are measured with time-correlated single photon counting. Shorter lifetimes are observed for the ANA molecules when dissolved in polar solvents compared with those in nonpolar solvents. Strong dipole-dipole interaction of ANA molecules with solvents is indicated. At high concentrations the measured emission lifetimes, generally shortened from self-quenching, are found to remain about the same order of magnitude in ANAs. This implies that the exciton states of aggregates are formed and they exhibit a relatively long lifetime. Crystallographic data of 4-(phenyl antracen-9-yl) (ANA-2) and 4-(phenyl-2-naphthyl) amino-1,8-naphthalic anhydrides (ANA-3) show that the molecules exist as dimeric structures with antiparallel head-to-tail stacking of naphthalic anhydride planes in addition to other pi-pi stacking. The strong dipole-dipole interactions and the pi-pi stacking account for the observed red-shifted emissions of ANAs in the powders. For films prepared from vacuum sublimation, a structure similar to that in the crystal but with less crystalline order is expected based on the emission wavelength. Several electroluminescent devices based on these ANAs are reported here; they emit orange-red light at 602-628 nm with high brightness and steady external quantum efficiency.
