Molecular Libraries Small Molecule Repository MLSMR

Inspired by this work (24), we used Bayesian methods (24) with molecular function class fingerprints of maximum diameter 6 (53) to identify substructures that were shown to be important in recent TB screening datasets (21-23). Bayesian models were built with the previously described Molecular Libraries Small Molecule Repository (MLSMR) 220,463 library (4,096 active compounds) (15) and dose-response data using 2,273 molecules (475 active compounds). In addition, these models were tested (15) with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) data and GVK Biosciences (Hyderabad, India) datasets used by Prathipati et al. (24). We have validated the models with compounds left out of the original models, in some cases showing up to tenfold enrichments in finding active compounds in the top-ranked 600 molecules (22). 

It is only in the past 5 years or so that chemical probe development has really taken off. This has largely been driven by the NIH roadmap initiative which engaged a network (Molecnlar Libraries Probe Production Centers Network http //mli.nih.gov/mli/ mlpcn/mlpcn/) of academic-based centers that provided state-of-the-art high-throughput screening (HTS) capabilities of a large diverse small-molecule library (the Molecular Libraries Small Molecule Repository (MLSMR) >350,000 compounds) as well as much expertise in the activities of assay development and downstream hit to probe (http //mli.nih.gov/mli/). Prior to this initiative, HTS was almost exclusively conducted within pharmacentical...

Essential to this pilot phase was the creation of a chemical library the Molecular Libraries Small Molecule Repository, or MLSMR. This library, which is accessible by querying MLSMR in PubChem Substance, was subjected to MLSCN bioactivity screening between 2004 and 2008 for a total of 691 assays that were uploaded to PubChem. These included 242 primary, 402 confirmatory and 8 summary assays, which covered 171 targets and 29 phenotypic screens. These numbers continue to grow as pilot phase projects are completed.
