De novo design of drug-like molecules by a fragment-based molecular evolutionary approach.

Abstract excerpt

This paper describes a similarity-driven simple evolutionary approach to producing candidate molecules of new drugs. The aim of the method is to explore the candidates that are structurally similar to the reference molecule and yet somewhat different in not only peripheral chains but also their scaffolds. The method employs a known active molecule of our interest as a reference molecule which is used to navigate...
