Sulfonimidamides as bioisosteres in peptide-based drug discovery
Last month, a group of researchers posted an article called ‘Antibacterial sulfonimidamide-based oligopeptides as type I signal peptidase inhibitors: Synthesis and biological evaluation’.
The goal of the study was to determine if changing an amine group to sulfonamide or sulfonimidamide in peptides will result in marked differences in their properties.We caught up the concept and prepared a set of sulfonimidamides for your research!

Boronic acids in medicinal chemistry
Last September, a group of researchers published a review called ‘Boronic Acids and Their Derivatives in Medicinal Chemistry: Synthesis and Biological Applications’. In this review, several activities of boronic acids, such as anticancer, antibacterial, antiviral activity, and even their application as sensors and delivery systems are addressed.
We at Chemspace also have a great selection of boronic acids, this is why we prepared a set for you! - 12 August 2021

Augmented fragment libraries
We are starting our series of posts on Fragment-Based Drug Discovery today!
Last April, a group of researchers posted an amazing minireview called 'Library Design Strategies to Accelerate Fragment-Based Drug Discovery'. It provides an overview of library design strategies used to accelerate FBDD by facilitating more efficient fragment screening and/or subsequent fragment-to-hit chemistry.

Oxazolidinone Scaffolds as Antibacterial Drugs
This July, a group of researchers posted an article called ‘Current landscape and future perspective of oxazolidinone scaffolds containing antibacterial drugs’. This work is important because it covers an increasingly serious problem - bacterial resistance to drugs.
The core structure gets modified in order to achieve better molecule parameters and higher activity against bacteria.We at Chemspace prepared a set of compounds based on phenyl oxazolidinone scaffold for you!

Building Blocks for Analogs of Belumosudil
This July, Belumosudil (REZUROCK) received approval by the FDA as the treatment of chronic graft versus host disease (cGvHD).
It is an orally available inhibitor of Rho-associated coiled-coil kinase 2 (ROCK 2).
Belumosudil contains quinazoline moiety in its backbone.
We have made a set of Building Blocks, which contain such parts – the perfect start for your research!

Reducing lipophilicity with the help of azaspiro[3.3]heptanes
In 2019, a group of researchers discovered, that azaspiro[3.3]heptanes can act as replacements for morpholines, piperidines, and piperazines in a medicinal chemistry context.
The authors concluded that azaspiro[3.3]heptanes are most likely not suitable as bioisosteres, when not used as terminal groups.
We prepared a set of azaspiro[3.3]heptanes, that can become a great start for your research! - 22 July 2021

Bioisosteric replacement of some common fragments
This April, a group of researchers posted an article called 'The powerful symbiosis between synthetic and medicinal chemistry'.
It combines synthetic chemistry and medicinal chemistry approaches - shows some novel synthetic bioisostere replacements for a number of functional groups.Based on that, we at Chemspace prepared three great compound sets!
