Experimental and computational approaches to estimate solubility and permeability in drug discovery and development settings

TL;DR: Experimental and computational approaches to estimate solubility and permeability in discovery and development settings are described in this article, where the rule of 5 is used to predict poor absorption or permeability when there are more than 5 H-bond donors, 10 Hbond acceptors, and the calculated Log P (CLogP) is greater than 5 (or MlogP > 415).

Drug-like properties and the causes of poor solubility and poor permeability

TL;DR: There are currently about 10000 drug-like compounds, and true diversity does not exist in experimental combinatorial chemistry screening libraries because current ADME experimental screens are multi-mechanisms, and predictions get worse as more data accumulates.

A diarylquinoline drug active on the ATP synthase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

TL;DR: A diarylquinoline, R207910, is identified that potently inhibits both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro and mutants selected in vitro suggest that the drug targets the proton pump of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase.

Drug–target residence time and its implications for lead optimization

TL;DR: The potential advantages of long residence time in terms of duration of pharmacological effect and target selectivity are described, as quantified by the dissociative half-life of the drug–target binary complex.
