Fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) continues to be a fruitful approach for many biophysical and medicinal chemists when initiating screening campaigns to arrive at new small molecule drug leads. Fragment libraries as opposed to typical small molecule libraries are proving especially useful against targets that are often difficult for small molecules to bind, such as flatter and larger targets without good pockets like many protein-protein interaction (PPI) targets. Often the fragment hits highlight new chemical space to be explored for growing the fragment into a drug lead. However it’s usually not as simple as it sounds. Join us to share and discuss strategies and challenges with fellow FBDD practitioners in biopharma and academics.
