This library has been created as a part of a project aimed at designing of a large set of protein kinase focused libraries. Taking its origin from of OTAVA’s in-house collection of 500,000 compounds, this Aurora B kinase focused library is composed of 2069 compounds which were selected by computational estimation of their interaction with one specific member in a protein kinase family (sharp-focusing approach).
Our library design method has been created to model a physical process of molecular binding as accurately as it is possible in today’s science.

To prepare this focused library, our scientists have implemented a number of crucial improvements of a calculation algorithm which include:
• specific charge assignment method as well as
• unique force field and scoring functions

Using these improvements, this Aurora B kinase focused library has been designed with powerful combination of:
• drug-likeness filtering,
• molecular docking,
• re-scoring, and
• key intermolecular hydrogen bond detection

Moreover, to enhance the result our experts visually inspected about 10,000 top-ranked docked complexes and select only those compounds that both computer software and scientists suggested to be the most promising as Aurora B kinase inhibitors.

As a result, this Aurora B kinase focused library is an excellent and essential starting point in a drug discovery program.
