Scaffold-Induced Molecular Graph (SIMG): Effective Graph Sampling Methods for High-Throughput Computational Drug Discovery

10 Sep 2021  ·  Austin Clyde, Ashka Shah, Max Zvyagin, Arvind Ramanathan, Rick Stevens ·

Scaffold based drug discovery (SBDD) is a technique for drug discovery which pins chemical scaffolds as the framework of design. Scaffolds, or molecular frameworks, organize the design of compounds into local neighborhoods. We formalize scaffold based drug discovery into a network design. Utilizing docking data from SARS-CoV-2 virtual screening studies and JAK2 kinase assay data, we showcase how a scaffold based conception of chemical space is intuitive for design. Lastly, we highlight the utility of scaffold based networks for chemical space as a potential solution to the intractable enumeration problem of chemical space by working inductively on local neighborhoods.
