Brief History (how I met Yvonne)
• First contact: EuroQSAR 1992 (Strasbourg), where she
expressed interest in one of my posters
• Continuing contact: EuroQSARs, Gordon Conferences
(QSAR/CADD), MUGs, CUPs
• Yvonne loves to visit New Mexico
• I followed her in leading the QSAR Society
• (in style, too)
• We renamed it The Cheminformatics and QSAR Society
• Disclosure: I have yet to visit Abbott Labs

So, what Is A Chemical Probe?
• Answer A: It has not been decided yet
• Answer B: A chemical probe is a somewhat selective,
somewhat potent (sub-micromolar?) structure that works on
the target / phenotypic assay of interest; it should be
reasonably …soluble (I guess)
• Chemical Probes are not necessarily anticipated to work in
vivo (though it will be preferred) and not expected to lead to
drugs either
• Chemical Probes could be used for assay development &
optimization, for imaging, radio-labeling, for flow cytometric
analyses, etc. (not necessarily used to query biological
space only)

Thus,
Why Bother with Drug Properties?
• Drug Discovery scientists sometimes think that
the name of the game is to get high affinity to
the target receptor, and then…
game over
• Not quite…

Relenza vs Tamiflu
• Both potent neuraminidase inhibitors
• Relenza: Zanamivir delivered by using Diskhaler
• Tamiflu simple tablet formulation
•
Deesterified in plasma long plasma T½
• Tamiflu (marketed by Roche)
•
took 65% U.S. market-share from Relenza in 7 weeks
• Q1/Q2 2002 sales Relenza vs Tamiflu
•
Relenza market share fallen to 10%

or taxol are leads!) or from “druglike” leads that are marketed
structures (e.g., salbutamol or HTS actives from “normal” combichem)

Is There a Preferred Property Space
for Leads & Chemical Probes?
• There is a tendency in the academic sector to
ignore past mistakes from the pharmaceutical
industry, e.g., the “tyranny of Lipinski” and “we
don’t care about in vivo, we just want chemical
probes”, which is unfortunate…
since the output of academic research ought to
result in tools to better understand biology
(pharmacology, chemical biology, etc)
• So the reason for this talk is to learn from drug
discovery, and from the failures in the pharma
sector?

This analysis can give us trends & boundaries for this property space,
e.g., we could use tail-end values from the above to filter for lead- or
“pub”-like-ness (is there a preferred space for chemical probes?)
•
Learn from the WOMBAT “nM” ligands: these are failed medchem
projects from big pharma (i.e., not too good as leads). Data very useful
for ideas, but I would not advise anyone to use these as leads
•
Note: if working with natural products, these filters will fail

46.6% of the WB nM ligands, and 64.8% of the WB μM ligands.
•
At ClogP > 4.1 & LogSw < -4.1, we find 15.1% of the actives, 19.4% of the
drugs, 39.5% of the WB nM ligands, and 27.8% of the WB μM ligands
•
Obs: none of the above combinations yields Ro5 ≥ 2 violations!!!

(Revised) Guidelines for Probe Discovery
•
The following (restrictive!) properties could be considered when evaluating
chemical probes, in particular when many HTS primary hits come out:
• 100  MW  432.5, -4  ClogP  5.1, LogSw ≥ -5.1,
0  Hdon  4, 0  Hacc  9 (inspired from the tail-end of Actives)
• Obs.: MW cut-off in Ro5 is 427, according to Michal Vieth
• SMCM  73.2, RTB  14, RNG  5 (from the tail-end of Drugs)
•
Good probes require that subtle interplay between solubility and
permeability, in order to work in cells and in vivo.
• For further progression (lead opt.), additional properties are required:
• %F ≥ 30, CL  30 mL/min, %PPB  99 (in rat PK models)
• KD ≥ 100 mM for drug-metabolizing P450s (no DDIs)
• Preferably, no acute toxicity, no carcinogenicity, etc.
•
These cut-off values will change with each target, its location (e.g., brain vs.
stomach vs. bone vs. kidney), with the intended admin. mode…
These values are not the pharma equivalent of the Planck constant

Conclusions
• The MLSMR & NCB actives (N=198) has similar property
distribution with the historical Leads (N=385).
• It’s interesting to compare the differences between the
property distribution values of the 569 Actives and the
5,784 high-activity molecules (WB9).
• The WB9 subset contains molecules that are, on average,
larger, more hydrophobic and less soluble than any of the
other datasets examined here.
• Pub-like Actives are, on average, smaller, less complex,
less hydrophobic and more soluble than the other
datasets.

Conclusions 2
• As we discover new chemical probes, the issue of what
constitutes high-quality probes is under scrutiny.
• Arguments such as ‘‘historical bias’’ are used when it comes
to defining property boundaries (the ‘tyranny of Lipinski’).
• Yet, the number of new approved drugs /year continued to
decline in the past decade, despite significantly larger
numbers of molecules & targets explored.
• Whether the boundary limits will be extend beyond the Ro5
‘‘cube’’, only time will tell.
• Over 55% of the top 200 oral drug products in the United
States, Great Britain, Japan and Spain are ‘‘high-solubility
drugs’’ [*], and that only 18 of the 133 active principles from
these drugs have ClogP values greater than 4.0.
