Pharmacophore Modeling: Methods and Applications

Abstract: A pharmacophore represents the essential features of a molecular interaction and are an integral part of modern computational drug discovery. This review provides an introduction into the basic concepts and approaches of pharmacophore-based drug design using a practical example. Recently developed approaches and tools for utilizing pharmacophores are also reviewed.

“…It represents a simplification of the detailed energetic information used by docking methods and so its computational requirements are much lower. While multiple methods can be used to generate pharmacophores (84), we will present a method based on information from SILCS as described in section 3.2. The workflow for generation of a SILCS-based pharmacophore model (73, 74) is illustrated in Figure 2.…”

“…Pharmacophore models are a spatial description of the chemical features required for a molecule to have optimal binding interactions with a given pocket on a biological target [25]. Structure-based pharmacophore models can be created from conformations of that protein pocket with or without bound ligands.…”

“…Pharmacophore points can be defined through geometric rules based on the orientations of the residues in the binding sites or through information about ligand contacts with those residues. The contact information can come from bound ligands [610] or from the positions of fragment molecules in the binding sites [1,5,1113]. A growing trend is to use more than one protein structure when creating pharmacophore models to represent the conformational flexibility inherent to each system.…”

“…Просторове розміщення і типи цих властивостей (а це і є фармакофорна модель) визначаються використовуючи уже наявну інформацію щодо біологічної активності ряду сполук [3]. При цьому метод фармакофорного моделювання спирається на припущення, що саме ті стеричні та електронні властивості, які є спільними для активних молекул і водночас є відсутніми у неактивних, можуть брати участь у взаємодії активних сполук з відповідною біомішенню.…”
