10 HTS LIBRARY DESIGN lifechemicals.com Design of scaffold library

1. Scaffold selection is a crucial step in design of HTS library.

2. Around 200 scaffolds are selected yearly.

3. Chemoinformatics definition of scaffold is used to obtain scaffold is a combination of core ring systems, linkers combining them, and attachment points. Therefore, different side chains are assigned to the same scaffold.

4. The resulting scaffold contains one strong and 1–2 weak diversity points.

5. The resulting scaffold contains 2–4 (preferably 2–3) rings and 1–2 ring systems

6. Diversity points should be present in every ring system, preferably in every ring. For bi- and polycyclic scaffolds with one ring system, diversity points must be present in at least two different rings, preferably distant ones.

11 HTS LIBRARY DESIGN lifechemicals.com Design of scaffold library, continued

7. The scaffold should represent an attractive chemotype: • No bad groups, reactive groups, PAINS etc. • No isolated benzene rings • No more than 1 benzene ring (even fused) • No chain amides/sulfamides/ureas/sulfides etc. • HAC < 20 (preferably ≤ 15) • Rotatable bonds ≤ 4 (preferably ≤ 3) • Heteroatom count: 1–6 (preferably 2–5) • At least 1 aliphatic and 1 aromatic ring • Approved by MedChem visual expertize 8. The scaffold does not belong to the existing Life Chemicals Stock HTS Collection

9. The scaffold should not be represented in E-molecules (≤ 50 cpds, ≤ 100 cpds for especially attractive chemotypes) 10. The scaffold should show <85% similarity to templates from LC database

12 HTS LIBRARY DESIGN lifechemicals.com Design of scaffolds selected

Examples of scaffolds:

Scaffold-based building blocks

1. At least 4 variations are for a weak diversity point of a scaffold, preferably 5–6 and up to 10 variations can be included.

2. Desirable Substituents: • H, Me, i-Pr, CF3, CF3CH2, c-Pr, c-Bu, i-Bu, t-Bu, OH, OMe, CH2OH, SO2Me, F(arylation agents are avoided), C(O)NH2, THP, Py and other hetaryls, fused alicyclic rings (for 2 adjacent week DPs), etc • n-Alkyl groups are avoided • limited use of benzene derivatives is allowed (e.g. fluorine-substituted)

Safety of the process involving the use of highly explosive and toxic CH2H2 is achieved by: • The use of a procedure in which diazomethane is generated in low concentration in octane solution (generator) and then is blown out by argon to the reactors; therefore,

dangerous concentration of CH2N2 is not possible • Neutralization of unreacted diazomethane by acetic acid (trap) • Strict monitoring of the reaction in order to avoid accumulation of diazomethane in the reactors

Trifluoromethyl diazomethane: • The reagent is synthesized in free state and reacts as a gas • Know-how in use and optional employment of Cu, Rh catalysts
