LibINVENT

LibINVENT generates focused, core-sharing virtual chemical libraries by reaction-based scaffold decoration to support de novo drug design and lead optimization.

Key Features:

• Core-Sharing Library Design: Creates virtual chemical libraries in which all compounds share a defined molecular scaffold (core), facilitating comparative analysis during lead optimization.
• Reaction-Based Scaffold Decoration: Uses user-specified chemical reactions to guide scaffold decoration and control the chemical diversity of generated compounds.
• Maximization of Desirable Properties: Optimizes molecular properties such as potency, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic profiles during library design.
• Synthesis Feasibility: Produces libraries whose members share a common core and adhere to predefined synthetic pathways to facilitate synthesis under similar conditions.

Scientific Applications:

• Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery: Generates focused virtual libraries to support identification of lead compounds in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery projects.
• Lead Optimization: Produces structurally related series that enable comparative evaluation and optimization of potency, selectivity, and pharmacokinetics.
• Exploration of Chemical Space: Enables efficient exploration of chemical space by generating core-sharing libraries with controlled diversity.

Methodology:

Employs a reaction-based scaffold decoration approach in which users input specific chemical reactions to guide computational generation of compound libraries that conform to predefined synthetic pathways.
