The continuous discovery of new small molecule drugs is essential to the success of modern medicine, in particular to address unmet medical needs, to combat emerging infectious diseases, and to improve existing therapies. Recently, it has become increasingly difficult to develop such new drugs, largely due to lack of efficacy, side effects and toxicity issues. These difficulties have raised the attention to the problem of carefully designing drugs taking multiple parameters into accounts, and have spurred the development of computer-aided drug design as key discipline to support drug discovery. Part of these efforts are devoted to de novo drug design, an approach which aims to select molecules by virtual screening (VS) to focus efforts on the most promising compounds and increase productivity. We have contributed to this field by enumerating the Chemical Universe Databases, which list all organic molecules that are possible following simple rules of chemical stability and synthetic feasibility, and represent an extremely vast reservoir of potential new drugs. In this proposal, we will expand our exploration of chemical space in search for new drugs in three projects addressing enumeration and VS methodology and their application in drug discovery.
