Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has evolved into a powerful tool within drug discovery over the last two decades. While traditionally being used by medicinal chemists for small molecule structure elucidation, it can also be a valuable tool for the identification of small molecules that bind to drug targets, for the characterization of targetâ??ligand interactions and for hit-to-lead optimization. Here, we describe how NMR spectroscopy is integrated into the Pfizer drug discovery pipeline and how we utilize this approach to identify and validate initial hits and generate leads.

Abstract
Solution NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool to study protein structures and dynamics under physiological conditions. This technique is particularly useful in target-based drug discovery projects as it provides protein-ligand binding information in solution. Accumulated studies have shown that NMR will play more and more important...
