Abstract
We present a new method for constructing discriminating substructures by reassembling common medicinal chemistry building blocks. The algorithm can be parametrized to meet differing objectives: (1) to build features that discriminate for biological activity in a local structural neighborhood, (2) to build scaffolds for R-group analysis, (3) to construct cluster signatures that discriminate for membership in the cluster and provide a graphical representation for its members, and (4) to identify substructures that characterize major classes in a heterogeneous compound set. We illustrated the results of the algorithm on a literature dataset is of 118 compounds with in vitro inhibition data against recombinant human protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP-1B).Keywords
