The scaffold hopping is an important process in Computer Aided Drug Designing (CADD).We have described an insilico methodology for selecting R groups through various receptor and ligand based approaches. This approach has been discussed in this article for PI3K scaffold of 4-thieno [3, 2-d] pyrimidin-4-ylmorpholine. The selected R groups were further ranked on the basis of interaction energy. The interaction energy results were further compared with IC50 values reported in literature.The present studies will throw light on the selection of various R groups at Insilico level without synthesis and invitro studies at initial phase of drug designing. This approach will be helpful in resource optimization during drug discovery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
