Integrating DNA-encoded chemical libraries with virtual combinatorial library screening: Optimizing a PARP10 inhibitor.

ABSTRACT: Two critical steps in drug development are 1) the discovery of molecules that have the desired effects on a target, and 2) the optimization of such molecules into lead compounds with the required potency and pharmacokinetic properties for translation. DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DECLs) can nowadays yield hits with unprecedented ease, and lead-optimization is becoming the limiting step. Here we integrate DECL screening with structure-based computational methods to streamline the development of lead compounds. The presented workflow consists of enumerating a virtual combinatorial library (VCL) derived from a DECL screening hit and using computational binding prediction to identify molecules with enhanced properties relative to the original DECL hit. As proof-of-concept demonstration, we applied this approach to identify an inhibitor of PARP10 that is more potent and druglike than the original DECL screening hit.

Template-based combinatorial enumeration of virtual compound libraries for lipids.

Project description:A variety of software packages are available for the combinatorial enumeration of virtual libraries for small molecules, starting from specifications of core scaffolds with attachments points and lists of R-groups as SMILES or SD files. Although SD files include atomic coordinates for core scaffolds and R-groups, it is not possible to control 2-dimensional (2D) layout of the enumerated structures generated for virtual compound libraries because different packages generate different 2D representations for the same structure. We have developed a software package called LipidMapsTools for the template-based combinatorial enumeration of virtual compound libraries for lipids. Virtual libraries are enumerated for the specified lipid abbreviations using matching lists of pre-defined templates and chain abbreviations, instead of core scaffolds and lists of R-groups provided by the user. 2D structures of the enumerated lipids are drawn in a specific and consistent fashion adhering to the framework for representing lipid structures proposed by the LIPID MAPS consortium. LipidMapsTools is lightweight, relatively fast and contains no external dependencies. It is an open source package and freely available under the terms of the modified BSD license.

Navigating the DNA encoded libraries chemical space.

Project description:DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology is a novel ligand identification strategy that allows the synthesis and screening of unprecedented chemical diversity more efficiently than conventional methods. However, no reports have been published to systematically study how to increase the diversity and improve the molecular property space that can be covered with DEL. This report describes the development and application of eDESIGNER, an algorithm that comprehensively generates all possible library designs, enumerates and profiles samples from each library and evaluates them to select the libraries to be synthesized. This tool utilizes suitable on-DNA chemistries and available building blocks to design and identify libraries with a pre-defined molecular weight distribution and maximal diversity compared with compound collections from other sources.

Optimizing nucleotide sequence ensembles for combinatorial protein libraries using a genetic algorithm.

Project description:Protein libraries are essential to the field of protein engineering. Increasingly, probabilistic protein design is being used to synthesize combinatorial protein libraries, which allow the protein engineer to explore a vast space of amino acid sequences, while at the same time placing restrictions on the amino acid distributions. To this end, if site-specific amino acid probabilities are input as the target, then the codon nucleotide distributions that match this target distribution can be used to generate a partially randomized gene library. However, it turns out to be a highly nontrivial computational task to find the codon nucleotide distributions that exactly matches a given target distribution of amino acids. We first showed that for any given target distribution an exact solution may not exist at all. Formulated as a constrained optimization problem, we then developed a genetic algorithm-based approach to find codon nucleotide distributions that match as closely as possible to the target amino acid distribution. As compared with the previous gradient descent method on various objective functions, the new method consistently gave more optimized distributions as measured by the relative entropy between the calculated and the target distributions. To simulate the actual lab solutions, new objective functions were designed to allow for two separate sets of codons in seeking a better match to the target amino acid distribution.

Universal encoding of next generation DNA-encoded chemical libraries.

Project description:DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DELs) are useful tools for the discovery of small molecule ligands to protein targets of pharmaceutical interest. Compared with single-pharmacophore DELs, dual-pharmacophore DELs simultaneously display two chemical moieties on both DNA strands, and allow for the construction of highly diverse and pure libraries, with a potential for targeting larger protein surfaces. Although methods for the encoding of simple, fragment-like dual-display libraries have been established, more complex libraries require a different encoding strategy. Here, we present a robust and convenient "large encoding design" (LED), which facilitates the PCR-amplification of multiple codes distributed among two partially complementary DNA strands. We experimentally implemented multiple coding regions and we compared the new DNA encoding scheme with previously reported dual-display DEL modalities in terms of amplifiability and performance in test selections against two target proteins. With the LED methodology in place, we foresee the construction and screening of DELs of unprecedented sizes and designs.

Optimized Reaction Conditions for Amide Bond Formation in DNA-Encoded Combinatorial Libraries.

Project description:DNA-encoded combinatorial libraries are increasingly being used as tools for the discovery of small organic binding molecules to proteins of biological or pharmaceutical interest. In the majority of cases, synthetic procedures for the formation of DNA-encoded combinatorial libraries incorporate at least one step of amide bond formation between amino-modified DNA and a carboxylic acid. We investigated reaction conditions and established a methodology by using 1-ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)carbodiimide, 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole and N,N'-diisopropylethylamine (EDC/HOAt/DIPEA) in combination, which provided conversions greater than 75% for 423/543 (78%) of the carboxylic acids tested. These reaction conditions were efficient with a variety of primary and secondary amines, as well as with various types of amino-modified oligonucleotides. The reaction conditions, which also worked efficiently over a broad range of DNA concentrations and reaction scales, should facilitate the synthesis of novel DNA-encoded combinatorial libraries.

An Integrated Microfluidic Processor for DNA-Encoded Combinatorial Library Functional Screening.

Project description:DNA-encoded synthesis is rekindling interest in combinatorial compound libraries for drug discovery and in technology for automated and quantitative library screening. Here, we disclose a microfluidic circuit that enables functional screens of DNA-encoded compound beads. The device carries out library bead distribution into picoliter-scale assay reagent droplets, photochemical cleavage of compound from the bead, assay incubation, laser-induced fluorescence-based assay detection, and fluorescence-activated droplet sorting to isolate hits. DNA-encoded compound beads (10-μm diameter) displaying a photocleavable positive control inhibitor pepstatin A were mixed (1920 beads, 729 encoding sequences) with negative control beads (58 000 beads, 1728 encoding sequences) and screened for cathepsin D inhibition using a biochemical enzyme activity assay. The circuit sorted 1518 hit droplets for collection following 18 min incubation over a 240 min analysis. Visual inspection of a subset of droplets (1188 droplets) yielded a 24% false discovery rate (1166 pepstatin A beads; 366 negative control beads). Using template barcoding strategies, it was possible to count hit collection beads (1863) using next-generation sequencing data. Bead-specific barcodes enabled replicate counting, and the false discovery rate was reduced to 2.6% by only considering hit-encoding sequences that were observed on >2 beads. This work represents a complete distributable small molecule discovery platform, from microfluidic miniaturized automation to ultrahigh-throughput hit deconvolution by sequencing.

DNA-encoded library versus RNA-encoded library selection enables design of an oncogenic noncoding RNA inhibitor.

Project description:Nature evolves molecular interaction networks through persistent perturbation and selection, in stark contrast to drug discovery, which evaluates candidates one at a time by screening. Here, nature's highly parallel ligand-target search paradigm is recapitulated in a screen of a DNA-encoded library (DEL; 73,728 ligands) against a library of RNA structures (4,096 targets). In total, the screen evaluated ∼300 million interactions and identified numerous bona fide ligand-RNA three-dimensional fold target pairs. One of the discovered ligands bound a 5'GAG/3'CCC internal loop that is present in primary microRNA-27a (pri-miR-27a), the oncogenic precursor of microRNA-27a. The DEL-derived pri-miR-27a ligand was cell active, potently and selectively inhibiting pri-miR-27a processing to reprogram gene expression and halt an otherwise invasive phenotype in triple-negative breast cancer cells. By exploiting evolutionary principles at the earliest stages of drug discovery, it is possible to identify high-affinity and selective target-ligand interactions and predict engagements in cells that short circuit disease pathways in preclinical disease models.

Target-induced formation of neuraminidase inhibitors from in vitro virtual combinatorial libraries.

Project description:Neuraminidase, a key enzyme responsible for influenza virus propagation, has been used as a template for selective synthesis of small subsets of its own inhibitors from theoretically highly diverse dynamic combinatorial libraries. We show that the library building blocks, aldehydes and amines, form significant amounts of the library components resulting from their coupling by reductive amination only in the presence of the enzyme. The target amplifies the best hits at least 120-fold. The dynamic libraries synthesized and screened in such an in vitro virtual mode form the components that possess high inhibitory activity, as confirmed by enzyme assays with independently synthesized individual compounds.

Direct screening of solution phase combinatorial libraries encoded with externally sensitized photolabile tags.

Project description:Solution phase combinatorial chemistry holds an enormous promise for modern drug discovery. Much needed are direct methods to assay such libraries for binding of biological targets. An approach to encoding and screening of solution phase libraries has been developed based on the conditional photorelease of externally sensitized photolabile tags. The encoding tags are released into solution only when a sought-for binding event occurs between the ligand and the receptor, outfitted with an electron-transfer sensitizer. The released tags are analyzed in solution revealing the identity of the lead ligand or narrowing the range of potential leads.
