Reactivity of Covalent Fragments and Their Role in Fragment Based Drug Discovery
Fragment based drug discovery has long been used for the identification of new ligands and interest in targeted covalent inhibitors has continued to grow in recent years, with high profile drugs such as osimertinib and sotorasib gaining FDA approval.

Fragment‐based drug discovery—the importance of high‐quality molecule libraries
Fragment‐based drug discovery (FBDD) is now established as a complementary approach to high‐throughput screening (HTS). Contrary to HTS, where large libraries of drug‐like molecules are screened, FBDD screens involve smaller and less complex molecules ...

A practical method for determining the rate of covalent modification of fragments and leads [PDF]
The clinical success of covalent drugs such as sotorasib has renewed interest in covalency for rational drug design. The most rigorous potency metric for covalent modifiers is the second-order rate constant k inact /K I.

Covalent fragment-based drug discovery for target tractability
An important consideration in drug discovery is the prioritization of tractable protein targets that are not only amenable to binding small molecules, but also alter disease biology in response to small molecule binding. Covalent fragment-based drug discovery has emerged as a powerful approach to aid in the identification of such protein targets.

Covalent fragment inhibits intramembrane proteolysis
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a serious public health crisis with only one current modifying treatment. The reduction of amyloid load by targeting γ-secretase (GS) has been a leading approach in AD drug discovery and development.

Structure-based design of a phosphotyrosine-masked covalent ligand targeting the E3 ligase SOCS2
The Src homology 2 (SH2) domain recognizes phosphotyrosine (pY) post translational modifications in partner proteins to trigger downstream signaling. Drug discovery efforts targeting the SH2 domains have long been stymied by the poor drug-like properties
