Archbishop Ussher's guide to efficient selection of development candidates

Molecular Design

Recent drugs, approved in 2010−2020, display no overall differences in molecular weight, lipophilicity, hydrogen bonding, or polar surface area from their target comparator compounds. Drugs are differentiated from target comparators by higher potency, ligand efficiency (LE), lipophilic ligand efficiency (LLE), and lower carboaromaticity.
