Protein-Directed Dynamic Combinatorial Chemistry: An Efficient Strategy in Drug Design
ACS OMEGA(2020)
Abstract
Protein-directed dynamic combinatorial chemistry (P-D DCC) is considered a powerful strategy to identify ligands to pharmacologically relevant protein targets. The protein selects its affinity ligands in situ through a thermodynamic templated effect in which the library composition shifts to the formation of specific library members at the expense of other (nonbinding) species. The increase in concentration of the selected species is known as amplification and leads to the discovery of new hit compounds for protein targets. This Mini-Review contains an updated overview of the protein-directed DCC applications and the fundamental aspects to take into account when designing a P-D DCC experiment such as the most biocompatible reversible reactions and the methodology used to analyze the experiments.
