Abstract

We report a de novo design study driven by synthetic tractability and aimed at the multi-objective prioritization of computer-generated 5-HT2B receptor ligands with accurately predicted target-binding affinities. Relying on quantitative Gaussian process bioactivity models we designed and synthesized structurally novel, selective, nanomolar and ligand-efficient 5-HT2B modulators. Cellular drug-target engagement revealed remarkable accuracy of the in silico prediction models. Our results suggest that a seamless amalgamation of computational activity prediction and microfluidics-assisted synthesis is suitable for the automated de novo design of small molecules with designer polypharmacology.
