Summary of Meeting
The purpose of this meeting is to highlight exciting new opportunities in the discovery of small molecule drug candidates, including the following: • Novel targets for small molecules, including disruption of protein-protein interactions, allosteric modulation of receptors and enzymes, and direct interactions with transcription factors. • Enabling technologies for the discovery of new small molecule leads, including diversity-oriented screening, fragment screening, and affinity screening. • The most successful structure-based design approaches to the optimization of leads. A focus of the conference will be successful applications structure-based design in the discovery of therapeutics for the treatment of HCV infection (protease inhibitors) and cancer (protein kinase inhibitors). A session comprising first-time disclosures of Phase 2 clinical candidates will illustrate successful applications of structure-based design in drug discovery.
