Opis: Bioisosteric replacements and scaffold hopping play an important role in modern drug discovery and design, as they enable the change of either a core scaffold or substitutes in a drug structure, thereby facilitating optimization of pharmacokinetic properties and patenting, while the drug retains its activity. A new knowledge-based method was developed to obtain bioisosteric or scaffold replacements based on the extensive data existing in the Protein Data Bank. The method uses all-against-all ProBiS-based protein superimposition to identify ligand fragments that overlap in similar binding sites and could therefore be considered as bioisosteric replacements. The method was demonstrated on a specific example of drug candidate – a nanomolar butyrylcholinesterase inhibitor, on which bioisosteric replacements of the three ring fragments were performed. The new molecule containing bioisosteric replacements was evaluated virtually using AutoDock Vina; a similar score for the original and the compound with replacements was obtained, suggesting that the newly designed bioisostere compound might retain the potency of the original inhibitor.
