SYNOPSIS
3. INTRODUCTION & DEFINITION
G. Paris, 1998.
“Chemoinformatics is a generic term that encompasses the
design, creation, organization, management, retrieval, analysis,
dissemination, visualization, and use of chemical information.”
J. Gasteiger, 2004
“Chemoinformatics is the application of informatics methods to
solve chemical problems.”
F.K. Brown, 1998
“Chemoinformatics is the mixing of those information resources
to transform data into information and information into
knowledge for the intended purpose of making better decisions
faster in the area of drug lead identification and optimization.”
Varnek, 2007
“Chemoinformatics is a field dealing with molecular objects
(graphs, vectors) in multidimentional chemical space.”

5. Who & Why Uses Cheminformatics?
•Life sciences, biochemistry, drug industries use
cheminformatics.
20 years ago: 80% in lab – 20% in front of computer
Now: 20% in lab - 70% in front of computer
Examples:
• Organic chemistry – automated reaction planning,
Beilstein search
• Physical chemistry – modeling of structure
properties (boiling points)
• Inorganic chemistry – ligand bond interactions
• Analytical chemistry – structure elucidation of
small compounds
• Biochemistry – protein/small molecule interaction
networks

6. HISTORY
The first edition of Beilstein’s Handbuch der Organischen Chemie was published
in 1881 and contained two volumes, registering 1500 compounds, with more than
2000 pages.
Chemical Abstracts have been published since 1907.
Cambridge Structural Database, was developed to contain three-dimensional
crystal structures of conformations of compounds and it was developed in
1965.
Gasteiger in 1975, the Journal of Chemical Documentation changed its name to
Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Sciences.
In 1997, the National Cancer Institute built and publicly distributed their database
with compounds a associated biological anti-tumor data.
Chemical Informatics Letters, an open web access journal published since 2000,

8. BASIC CONCEPT
Chemistry Space: Chemistry space is the term given to the space
that contains all of the theoretically possible molecules and is therefore
theoretically infinite.
Chemical space
Drug like chemical space
Hits space
Drug

9. BASIC CONCEPT
Molecular Descriptors: "The molecular descriptor is the final result of a logic and
mathematical procedure which transforms chemical information encoded within a
symbolic representation of a molecule into a useful number or the result of some
standardized experiment.“
Two main categories: experimental measurements, such as log P, molar refractivity,
dipole moment, polarizability, and, in general, physico-chemical properties, and
theoretical molecular descriptors, which are derived from a symbolic
representation of the molecule and can be further classified according to the different
types of molecular representation.
Basic requirements for optimal descriptors
Structural interpretation
Good correlation with at least one property
Preferably discriminate among isomers
Possible to apply to local structure
Possible to generalize to "higher" descriptors
Not be based on experimental properties
Not be trivially related to other descriptors
Should be possible to construct efficiently
Should use familiar structural concepts
Change gradually with gradual change in structures
The correct size dependence, if related to the molecule size

Cheminformatics
10. BASIC CONCEPT
High-Throughput Screening
Rapid
use well plates (96, 384, or 1536 wells)
Two extremes are evident in many HTS programs:
diverse and focused screening libraries.
The Similar-Structure, Similar-Property Principle
Much of chemoinformatics is essentially based on the fundamental
assertion that similar molecules will also tend to exhibit similar
properties; this is known as the similar-structure, similar-property
principle, often simply referred to as the similar property principle.

18. Pharmacophore Models
The term pharmacophore was first used by Paul Ehrlich
(1854–1915) in 1909
Structure-Based Pharmacophores.
Ligand-Based Pharmacophores.
Molecular Scaffolds and Scaffold Hopping
Used to describe the core structure of molecule
Scaffold hopping (leapfrogging, lead-hopping, chemotype switching,
and scaffold searching)

De Novo Design
Virtual Combinatorial Synthesis
Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships
Molecular Docking
Docking consists of two components:
Search algorithm – generation of plausible structures
Scoring function – to identify which of the identified structures are of
most interest
Common programs for molecular docking:
Dock
Autodock
FlexX
ArgusLab
GOLD (Genetic Optimization for Ligand Docking) 19

FUTURE
The computer is used to analyze the interactions between the drug and
the receptor site and design molecules with an optimal fit. Once targets
are developed, libraries of compounds are screened for activity with one
or more relevant assays using High Throughput Screening. Hits are then
evaluated for binding, potency, selectivity, and functional activity.
Seeking to improve:
Potency
Absorption
Distribution
Metabolism
Elimination
22. APPLICATIONS OF CHEMOINFORMATICS
1. Chemical Information
Storage and retrieval of chemical structures and associated data to
manage the flood of data by the softwares are available for
drawing and databases.
Dissemination of data on the internet
Cross-linking of data to information
2. All fields of chemistry
rediction of the physical, chemical, or biological properties of
compounds
3. Analytical Chemistry
Chemical(s) of concern Chemical Specific data Structural analogue
Property analogue Biological or mechanistic analogue Data bases
ata mining Structure searchable Structure activity relationships 20
Analysis of data from analytical chemistry to mak predictions on
the quality, origin, and age of the investigated objects
Elucidation of the structure of a compound based on spectroscopic
data 22
