Summary
To compare chemical structures, we can look at a number of 2D and 3D characteristics. In this paper, a group of 358 drugs with overlapping pharmacology were assessed for chemical similarity, using a new framework.
The method generates a chemical similarity score for new molecules based on a known set of molecules with a shared effect. For prediction of primary targets, the benefit of 3D over 2D was relatively small, but for prediction of off-targets, the added benefit was large.
