This worked example uses StarDrop’s Surflex eSim3D module to assess a small library of compounds for their similarity to known Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90) ligands. The library, created by a de novo design process, contains compounds with a beta resorcylic acid core. The objective in this example is to use the Surflex eSim3D module to develop an understanding of the 3D structure-activity relationships (SAR) and then use multi-parameter optimisation to assess the similarity score together with the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) and physicochemical properties of the library.
