Abstract

A process for objective identification and filtering of undesirable compounds that contribute to high-throughput screening (HTS) deck promiscuity is described. Two methods of mapping hit promiscuity have been developed linking SMARTS-based structural queries with historical primary HTS data. The first compares an expected assay hit rate to actual hit rates. The second examines the propensity of an individual compound to hit multiple assays. Statistical evaluation of the data indicates a correlation between the resultant functional group filters and compound promiscuity. These data corroborate a number of commonly applied filters as well as producing some unexpected results. Application of these models to HTS collection triage reduced the number of in-house compounds considered for screening by 12%. The implications of these findings are further discussed in the context of the HTS screening set and combinatorial library design as well as compound acquisition.
