In recent years, polypharmacology has increasingly gained attention. Pharmaceutical companies have discovered more and more cases of multiple drugs binding to a given target (promiscuous targets) and conversely, a given drug binding to more than one molecular target (promiscuous ligands). This is clearly of great importance when considering drug side-effects.

We previously introduced the notion of spherical harmonic-based « consensus shapes » to help deal with these targets [1]. This approach allows one or more “pseudo-molecules” to be created and used as VS query structures. In a previous study on some 15 diverse families of CCR5 inhibitors, which could not all be superposed together, we found that the ligands may be clustered into four main super-consensus families, and we predicted that these might bind within three sub-sites in the CCR5 extra-cellular pocket in a manner consistent with experimental site-directed mutagenesis information and other computational studies. Thus, consensus clustering seems to offer a straightforward way to understand how multiple ligands might distribute themselves within a given binding site.

Here we present our shape-based approach which uses spherical harmonic (SH) representations [2,3] to compare molecular surfaces very efficiently. We have applied our approach to compare targets by the SH similarity of their ligands and also of their binding pockets. This allows promiscuous ligands and targets to be predicted very rapidly [4,5,6]. We present details of our approach applied to a subset of the MDL Drug Data Report (MDDR) database containing 65,367 compounds distributed over 249 diverse pharmacological targets. The similarity of each ligand to each target’s ligand set is quantified and used to predict promiscuity. Our results indicate that our approach is a useful way to study polypharmacology relationships, and it could provide a novel way to propose new targets for drug repositioning.
