3D Analog Library Generation Using Pubchem and Zinc
Hello! This short write up is designed to make it easier for the group and other users that may stumble across this writeup curate a library of compounds analogous to compounds identified experimentally as active for the purpose of a secondary or follow-up virtual screen. First, we want a list of the actives compound's ZINC ID and smiles string. The example Il use here is ZINC000019831888 who's smile string is: OC(COC=1C=CC(=CC1)C(=O)C=2C=CC=CC2)CN3CCN(CC3)C=4C=CC=CC4Cl.
After collecting the pertinent information for the compounds were interested in, we can head to https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov This will bring up a screen that looks like this:
We want to select the Structure Search bar on the right hand side of the screen:
Then we are taken to this page: https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/search/search.cgi
