As the cost of research and development in pharmaceutical drugs rises significantly, it is imperative that clinical candidates should be designed with an improved probability of success.[1] Bridging the gap between chemical and biological space would make the quantum leap in the efficiency of drug discovery, and effective utilization of bioinformatics and chemoinformatics is becoming recognized as a valuable component of drug design.[2] The number of crystal structures of proteins or protein-ligand complexes has been growing at an approximately exponential rate.[3] Analysis and comparison of the tertiary structures of a protein complexed with different small ligands can be utilized to guide the rational drug design with the aim of exploring further chemical space to identify novel fragments of ligands.[4] These new fragments or scaffolds may provide a range of more efficient starting points that can be further developed. Generally, a sizable compound library can be generated from such fragments by optimization of their physicochemical properties including absorption, dissolution, metabolic stability, plasma protein binding, distribution, elimination, toxicological profiles, cost of synthesis, and other pharmaceutical properties.[5] The compounds identified to comply with Lipinski’s drug-like “rule of five”[6] and Hann and Oprea’s lead-like criteria [7] are then selected for further molecular docking. The promising compounds can be extracted using suitable algorithms that may efficiently and accurately predict their conformations.[8] In this communication, we applied a combined bioinformatics and chemoinformatics approach to the cost-effective design and identification of novel asymmetric bivalent AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid) receptor positive allosteric modulators with remarkable potency in vitro and efficacy in vivo for preventing neuroapotosis.
