Abstract
Overexpression of the CREB-binding protein (CBP), a bromodomain-containing transcription coactivator involved in a variety of cellular processes, has been observed in several types of cancer with a correlation to aggressiveness. We have screened a library of nearly 1500 fragments by high-throughput docking into the CBP bromodomain followed by binding energy evaluation using a force field with electrostatic solvation. Twenty of the 39 fragments selected by virtual screening are positive in one or more ligand-observed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. Four crystal structures of the CBP bromodomain in complex with in silico screening hits validate the pose predicted by docking. Thus, the success ratio of the high-throughput docking procedure is 50% or 10% if one considers the validation by ligand-observed NMR spectroscopy or X-ray crystallography, respectively. Compounds 1 and 3 show favorable ligand efficiency in two different in vitro binding assays. The structure of the CBP bromodomain in the complex with the brominated pyrrole 1 suggests fragment growing by Suzuki coupling.

Protein-templated fragment ligations - from molecular recognition to drug discovery
The understanding and manipulation of molecular recognition events is the key to modern approaches in drug discovery. Protein-templated fragment ligation is a novel concept to support drug discovery and can help to improve the efficacy of already existing protein ligands. Protein-templated fragment ligations are chemical reactions between small molecules ("fragments") that utilize a protein´s surface as a template to combine and to form a protein ligand with increased binding affinity. The...

Abstract
(19)F-NMR has proved to be a valuable tool in fragment-based drug discovery. Its applications include screening libraries of fluorinated fragments, assessing competition among elaborated fragments and identifying the binding poses of promising hits. By observing fluorine in both the ligand and the...

Abstract
Fragment-based lead discovery (FBLD) has proven fruitful during the past two decades for a variety of targets, even challenging protein-protein interaction (PPI) systems. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy plays a vital role, from initial fragment-based screening to lead generation, because of its power...

Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has evolved into a powerful tool for fragment-based drug discovery over the last two decades. While NMR has been traditionally used to elucidate the three-dimensional structures and dynamics of biomacromolecules and their interactions, it can also be a very valuable tool for the reliable...
