Useful scaffolds

Hence there are multiple solutions for the final set of 10000 compounds. The final selection can be diversity driven using for example cluster analysis based on multiple fingerprints [63], hole filling strategies by using scaffold/ring analysis (LeadScope [66], SARVision [66]) or pharmacophore analysis [67, 68]. For a review of computational approaches to diversity and similarity-based selections, see the paper of Mason and Hermsmeier [69] and the references therein. 

The second way of using complexes is to use a crystallization scaffold (Derewenda, 2004). Some proteins will not crystallize on their own, but will form crystals as part of a complex. This complex does not have to be of any biological relevance, except to promote crystallization. The first way of doing this is to make use of the affinity tag used to purify a protein (if one was used). His-tagged proteins are very commonly used for purifying proteins, and could be left on for crystallization studies. This is not usually a useful scaffold, as the poly-His plus linker sequence is usually very flexible. 

They can serve as templates or useful scaffolds from which peptidomimetic drugs with enhanced activity can be designed. ... 

A range of pyrazino[2,3-g]quinoxalines were prepared using scaffold-directed small molecular heterocycle synthesis <2007JCC70>. A range of peralkynylated pyrazino[2,3-g]quinoxalines has also been reported <20060L757>. 

Another useful scaffold, discovered recently by chance in our laboratories during an array synthesis, is now available for combinatorial chemistry [12]. All wells containing 2-picolinic amine reacted in an unexpected way. Detailed inspection of these reactions provided a novel MCR towards 1,2,4-trisubstituted lH-imidazol-4-yl-pyridines. Typical examples and their yields are given in Scheme 3.7. During... 

The most useful scaffolds would have modified functional groups such as-NH2, -COOH, - SH, at C-2, C-3, C-4, and C-6. Our laboratory is developing a... 

Calixarenes and their derivatives (Scheme 9.3) are among the most widely used scaffolds in anion-binding chemistry. Strategies for their functionalization have been reviewed recently [36,37]. The popularity of calixarenes reflects to a large extent the ease with which the cores themselves can be modified as well as the fact that they... 

Attempts to extend this work to the keto-oxime substrate 54 derived from D-glucosamine with an JV-phthalimido group resulted in the formation of a completely different product (Scheme 40). In this case, cyclization was initiated by reduction of the phthalimido carbonyl group to its corresponding ketyl radical anion followed by cyclization onto the ketone, providing an a-hydroxylactam 55 which was proposed to be a potentially useful scaffold for diversity-oriented synthesis. 

Fabrication. Porosity and surface roughness are important physical parameters for any useful scaffold. The scaffold can be classified into two basic forms either fibrous or foam-like. In order to form woven or non-woven meshes the scaffold must be amenable to spinning and this limits the number of materials that can be produced in this form. The most important fibre forming scaffold are the a-hydroxy acid based materials. Other fibre... 

Moreover, the excellent chiral functionality of arabinose enone and its functionalized new synthons will create additional possibilities of interdisciplinary approaches not only in pure synthetic organic chemistry but also in peptide and combinatorial chemistry. The latter is especially appealing for functionalizing this molecule by creating a number of useful scaffolds.

A scaffolding monomer having multi-interaction sites for the target molecule is a general approach that can utilize the principles of both covalent and noncovalent imprinting. Many cases have been described using scaffold multi-mers, which interact with the template via multiple binding interactions and subsequently cross-linked...
