Alchemical analysis of FDA approved drugs

Philippe Schwaller, Daniel Probst, Jean-Louis Reymond, Markus Orsi

Chemical space maps help visualize similarities within molecular sets. However, there are many different molecular similarity measures resulting in a confusing number of possible comparisons. To overcome this limitation, we exploit the fact that tools desi ...

Anti-microbial dendrimers against multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa enhance the angiogenic effect of biological burn-wound bandages

Dominique Pioletti, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Jean-Louis Reymond, Paris Jafari

Multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa has increased progressively and impedes further regression in mortality in burn patients. Such wound infections serve as bacterial reservoir for nosocomial infections and are associated with signi cant morbidity ...

Discovery of a Selective Aurora A Kinase Inhibitor by Virtual Screening

Pierre Gönczy, Sachin Kotak, Maria Josefina Marcaida Lopez, Jean-Louis Reymond

Here we report the discovery of a selective inhibitor of Aurora A, a key regulator of cell division and potential anticancer target. We used the atom category extended ligand overlap score (xLOS), a 3D ligand-based virtual screening method recently develop ...

PDB-Explorer: a web-based interactive map of the protein data bank in shape space

Luc Patiny, Daniel Kostro, Michaël Giuseppe Zasso, Jean-Louis Reymond

Background: The RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB) provides public access to experimentally determined 3D-structures of biological macromolecules (proteins, peptides and nucleic acids). While various tools are available to explore the PDB, options to access the ...

Bridged bicyclic peptides as potential drug scaffolds: synthesis, structure, protein binding and stability

Jean-Louis Reymond

Double cyclization of short linear peptides obtained by solid phase peptide synthesis was used to prepare bridged bicyclic peptides (BBPs) corresponding to the topology of bridged bicyclic alkanes such as norbornane. Diastereomeric norbornapeptides were in ...

MQN-Mapplet: Visualization of Chemical Space with Interactive Maps of Drug Bank, ChEMBL, Pub Chem, GDB-11, and GDB-13

Jean-Louis Reymond

The MQN-mapplet is a Java application giving access to the structure of small molecules in large databases via color-coded maps of their chemical space. These maps are projections from a 42-dimensional property space defined by 42 integer value descriptors ...

Synthesis of glycopeptide dendrimers, dimerization and affinity for Concanavalin A

Ronan Euzen, Jean-Louis Reymond

We described herein the synthesis of second generation glycopeptide dendrimers G2a-g presenting variable amino acids placed internally into the multivalent scaffold. The effect of such structural modulation on recognition processes by Concanavalin A (Con A ...
