Improving the prediction of drug disposition in the brain
Jan 08, 2013
K. Lanevskij, et al.
Article
Review
Expert Opinion on Drug Metabolism & Toxicology
Introduction: Ability to cross the blood–brain barrier is one of the key ADME characteristics of all drug candidates regardless of their target location in the body. While good brain penetration is essential for CNS drugs, it may lead to serious side effects in case of peripherally-targeted molecules. Despite a high demand of computational methods for estimating brain transport early in drug discovery, achieving good prediction accuracy still remains a challenging task.

Areas covered: This article reviews various measures employed to quantify brain delivery and recent advances in QSAR approaches for predicting these properties from the compound's structure. Additionally, the authors discuss the classification models attempting to distinguish between permeable and impermeable chemicals.

Expert opinion: Recent research in the field of brain penetration modeling showed an increasing understanding of the processes involved in drug disposition, although most models of brain/plasma partitioning still rely on purely statistical considerations. Preferably, new models should incorporate mechanistic knowledge since it is the prerequisite for guiding drug design efforts in the desired direction. To increase the efficiency of computational tools, a broader view is necessary, involving rate and extent of brain penetration, as well as plasma and brain tissue binding strength, instead of relying on any single property.

Raman and Infrared Spectra: Capturing the Artistry of Spectral Interpretation

Michael Boruta
Article
AppNote
American Laboratory
This article focuses on a means of capturing spectrum-to-structure correlations for Raman and infrared spectra. It discusses methods that can be used to obtain, archive, and retrieve this knowledge so that, once derived, it will remain a resource within the laboratory beyond the confines of individual analyst expertise. The aim of such a system is to not only capture the user’s own knowledge, but to combine it with the knowledge of colleagues to help the user make better decisions.

Validation of the extended Tanaka column characterization protocol by multivariate analysis of chromatographic retention of low-molecular-weight analytes on reversed phase columns using methanol and acetonitrile as organic modifiers
Sep 03, 2012
M R Euerby, et al.
Article
Third-Party Reference
Journal of Separation Science
The validity of the extended Tanaka column characterization procedure against the retention behavior of 101 analytes of widely differing properties chromatographed on five differing stationary phase chemistries has been established using a chemometric technique called principal component analysis (PCA). It was concluded that the simple and conveniently determined column characterization parameters covered the same space in the PCA loading plot as the retention times for the 101 differing analytes. This confirms that the ten column characterization parameters of the extended Tanaka protocol encode the same information as the retention times of the 101 analytes. Significant selectivity differences were observed between stationary phases and the mobile-phase modifiers – MeOH and MeCN. PCA contribution plots served as a convenient way to highlight specific selectivity differences between stationary phases. logD values exhibited a poor correlation with retention indicating that retention in RP-LC is not solely dictated by the analyte's hydrophobicity. The use of MeOH was found to generate greater selectivity differences with the five stationary phases than when MeCN is used.

ACD/Spectrus Processor Review
Jun 12, 2012
Eugene E. Kwan, Harvard University
Article
Third-Party Reference
Journal of Chemical Information and Modelling
In early 2012 ACD/Labs released ACD/Spectrus Processor, an all-in-one, multi-technique analytical data processing and chemical characterization tool for synthetic chemists. Professor Eugene Kwan of Harvard University reviewed the software and shares his impressions in this article for the Journal of Chemical Information and Modelling.

Looking specifically at the NMR capabilities of the software he discusses the ease of multiplet analysis (integration and determination of coupling constants), automatic generation of multiplet reports, and the capability for working with series of spectra and using ACD/NMR predictors in teaching.

"The bottom line is that if you want to spend more time thinking about chemistry and less time wrestling with your NMR software, this is the way to go."
Eugene E. Kwan, Harvard University

Interactive Biotransformation Maps: "ELN" Facilitates Construction, Management, and Dissemination of Key Pathways
May 15, 2012
Graham A. McGibbon, Ph. D. (ACD/Labs)
Article
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
The fate of new chemical entities in the pharmaceutical discovery and development pipeline hinges on biotransformation pathways and the outcome of metabolite safety profiles. ACD/Labs’ knowledge management solution for metabolism acts as a "biotransformation ELN" that combines the ability to create interactive biotransformation maps with advanced interpretation of analytical data including NMR, MS, and chromatography, and the ability to store the chemical context behind the interpretations.
