Metabolism of 2022 FDA approved small molecule drugs part 2 Mixing it Up By Julia Shanu-Wilson In Part 1 of this topic we looked at metabolism of the small molecule drugs approved by the FDA in 2022 that were mediated by CYP3A4. We hope it was a useful two-parter! We’re looking forward to the next crop!

By utilizing high-resolution protein structures obtained through X-ray crystallography, researchers could design small molecules that potently inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 main protease, a key enzyme essential for viral replication. These complex molecules require precise engineering to ensure optimal efficacy and safety.

The current version of Chemistry42 uses over 40 generative models, including generative autoencoders and generative adversarial networks as well as both structure-based and ligand-based drug design to generate and optimise de novo small molecules. The novel molecules were further ranked based on their ADME and selectivity profiles.

In 2022, fewer of the 19 newly FDA approved small molecule drugs contained F atoms (adagrasib, lenacapavir, oteseconazole, vonoprazan), but this was followed by 3 more approvals of F-containing drugs in the first quarter of 2023 alone (pirtobrutinib, omaveloxolone, leniolisib).
