Virtual screening of LPA receptor targets: An in silico approach to identify subtype selective antagonists
by Fells, James Ibrn, Ph.D., THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS, 2009, 55 pages; 3400159

Abstract:

In the present study we utilized developed in silica workflow to rapidly screen for potential LPA3 antagonists. Potential antagonists were explored using 2D similarity searching, docking, and pharmacophore mapping. Compounds selected for subsequent screening resulted in 10 new LPA 3 antagonists. These results led to identifying antagonists with a 1.5 and 6 fold increase from our lead compound. We developed a LPA3 antagonist binary QSAR model as an additional screening tool. This model will be useful as a filtering set to screen libraries created from similarity searching.
