The computationally guided design of selective targeters of multiple proteins (STaMPs) as a new opportunity for small

Abstract:
Polypharmacology has long been an aspect of drug design for small molecules, and the multi-target pursuit has frequently behaved more akin to divine chance rather than controllable science. Targets unknown or once thought undesirable can often be revealed to be key points of intervention for the positive effects of a drug later in the development of a program or even after its approval. In this review, we look at historical examples of molecular pleiotropism and evaluate how new insights from computational systems biology and small molecule design can aid the rational design of Selective Targeters of Multiple Proteins (STaMPs).

Targets for Drug Action: Overview
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...
