The history of de novo drug design, which is concerned primarily with the use of computers to design new active drug compounds, may as well be called the history of computer-aided drug design (CADD). Quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) studies were a prominent feature of the drug design process until the second half of the 1980s. QSAR studies provide an effective technique for analyzing the correlations between molecular structure and biological activity, and can still be used as a powerful approach during the lead optimization phase of a drug discovery program. For the purposes of lead generation, however, QSAR studies cannot be used, for example, to design a molecule with a different molecular skeleton.
To overcome these issues, de novo drug design was introduced in the 1990s. Although a variety of different de novo drug design software suites have been developed, they are invariably difficult to at the practical level for real drug design. It is noteworthy that successful examples of drug design using these tools could not be found during those early days, and the use and general perception of de novo drug design consequently went into decline following its peak usage in the mid-1990s. This decline in the use of de novo drug design was attributed to scientists focusing on the magnitude of the computational binding strength with the target receptor, while ignoring the drug-like properties and the synthetic tractability of the designed compounds.
Following of from the pivot role of CADD in in silico virtual screening, de novo drug design has reappeared in the form of lead hopping or scaffold hopping during the first half of the 2000s. This reappearance owes a lot to the compound libraries generated using combinatorial chemistry and chemoinformatics technologies. The recent progress of de novo drug design was reviewed by Prof Schneider [1], where 36 kinds of software were classified according to their methodology. Furthermore, in a review by Prof Kunchukian [2], the 20 latest types of software were comprehensively added. According to Kunchukian's count, the number of the reports published every year from 2005 through 2008 increased by five to six reports until it eventually doubled in 2009. The numbers then continued to increase at the same pace afterward. The big difference in the recent popularity of de novo drug design relative to its initial release in the 1990s relates to the number of research reports in which the compounds designed on the computer were actually synthesized and evaluated. This shows that the use of de novo drug design software for drug development spot has reached a practical level. Interestingly, there are now more de novo drug design software suites available than there are in silico virtual screening programs. That is, the technology of de novo drug design is not fixed and the software has many advantages and disadvantages. In other words, de novo drug design has a hidden potential for further developments.
The number of possible combination of atoms in organic compounds (chemical space) is vast, and the number is said to be the sixtieth power of 10. De novo drug design is a combination of optimization problem that enables the user to find the most promising compound out of this vast chemical space. A variety of different optimization algorithms have been devised, including the evolutionary algorithm, Monte Carlo simulation, taboo search, depth-first search, breadth-first search, and the A* algorithm. As de novo drug design software adopts various algorithms, the software is flooded with many candidates.
Taken against this background, the publication of this special edition of “De novo Molecular Design” appears to be particularly timely. This book itself is dedicated to the concepts and ideas for de novo drug design. The potentials and limitations of the relevant techniques are critically discussed and comprehensively exemplified in 21 chapters by distinguished authors from both academia and the pharmaceutical industry. A series of well-defined chapters follow the first exciting and challenging chapter, “De novo design: from models to molecules”, with examples including structure-, fragment-, pharmacophore-, QSAR-, reaction-, polypharmacology-, combinatorial-, and biosteric-based de novo designs. As a scientist keen to recommend the use of de novo drug design in the drug discovery process, I am convinced that readers will be able to successfully apply these de novo design methods to their own drug design projects and produce many innovative compounds for the pharmaceutical drug market. It is my central hope that this book will be helpful and be used in the same way as an encyclopedia when hints and ideas are needed during the drug design process.

This book builds on the legacy of many bright minds. It does not claim completeness or truth. Its intention merely is to inspire readers to critically and creatively explore the possibilities of de novo molecular design for drug discovery and chemical biology. I am most grateful to all authors for contributing truly exciting 21 chapters. Their willingness and thoroughness allowed us to compile a formidable collection of ideas and reports on the various aspects of computer-assisted molecular design. Special thanks go to Prof Kimito Funatsu, who shares his thoughts on de novo design in the Foreword. I am equally grateful to my colleagues who agreed to act as impartial reviewers, and through their personal advice helped me not to go over the top. My beloved wife was very lenient toward me during the preparation of this volume (and not just then). Dr Heike Nöthe and Dr Frank Weinreich from Wiley-VCH did a great job supporting me in the editing process and ensured swift and professional book production. Persistent challenge by my research team at ETH helped me focus on some tough scientific questions and come up with hopefully useful answers.
This book starts off with a general overview of the scientific pillars of molecular design. In the subsequent chapters, renowned experts from industry and academia alike provide their views on the drug discovery process and the role of de novo design, receptor- and ligand-based approaches, the nature of macromolecular structure and ligand–receptor interaction, chemical space navigation, combinatorial- and fragment-based design principles, rigorous physical approaches to solve the scoring problem in drug design, and the automated generation of bioactive peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids as potential drugs of the future. I have structured the contributions so that they are attuned to one another and demonstrate the various ideas and technological concepts in a well-defined collation. This book is meant to be read from cover to cover. Nevertheless, all chapters stand on their own, and the interested reader may cherry-pick favorites. Consequently, slight redundancy of contents was unavoidable and has intentionally been kept to ensure that each chapter represents the authors' individual views on a topic, and at the same time allows the reader to learn about different thoughts and opinions.
As I have had the great privilege to witness the rise of computer-assisted de novo design from its humble beginnings to become mainstream science, I am pleased to see these fascinating techniques now being broadly applied in drug discovery and chemical biology. There is still much more to come and to expect from the amalgamation of technologies and complementary scientific thinking. I am convinced that only by constantly keeping an open mind for surprising fresh ideas and unexpected revelations will we be able to make continuous progress in molecular design. This also means that some of our “old beliefs” might need a critical overhaul, and some should better be discarded to make way for new and improved concepts that will enable researchers to conceive of innovative algorithms for molecule construction, scoring, and chemical space navigation.

Form ever follows function, and this is the law.
Where function does not change, form does not change.
Louis Sullivan, American architect (1896) [1]
Innovative bioactive agents fuel sustained drug discovery and the development of new medicines. Future success in chemical biology and pharmaceutical research alike will fundamentally rely on the combination of advanced synthetic and analytical technologies that are embedded in a theoretical framework that provides a rationale for the interplay between chemical structure and biological effect. A driving role in this setting falls on leading edge concepts in computer-assisted molecular design, by providing access to a virtually infinite source of novel druglike compounds and guiding experimental screening campaigns. In this chapter, we present concepts and ideas for the representation of molecular structure, suggest predictive models of structure–activity relationships, and discuss approaches that have proved their usefulness and will contribute to future drug discovery by generating innovative bioactive agents. We also highlight some of the current prohibitive aspects of fully automated de novo design that will require attention for future methodological breakthroughs. This chapter provides an introduction to important pillars of de novo drug design, whereas the subsequent contributions presented in this book offer in-depth treatments of current trends, methods, and approaches together with numerous practical examples. We are confident that the reading will inspire.
Ever since the first atomic models of molecules have been conceived, scientists have used such models, and their associated concepts and language, to come up with innovative chemical agents that possess sought properties [2]. So far, we tend to think of a molecule in terms of sticks and balls when it comes to visualize chemical structure. No doubt, simplistic representations have their justification for describing certain aspects of molecular constitution, configuration, and conformation and provide an intuitive access to “molecular architecture” (Figure 1.1). However, they fall far short of relating functional aspects to the objects we recognize as molecules. In the end, it is the desired function we wish to get from a molecular structure. “Form follows function” – this credo of modern architecture and industrial design is equally valid for molecular design, in particular in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology striving for new chemical entities (NCEs) as biologically active lead compounds and eventually future drugs.
Figure 1.1 Atomic models of molecular structure as depicted in John Dalton's seminal book entitled (1808). Panel (a) presents the “arbitrary signs chosen to represent the several chemical elements or ultimate particles.” Panel (b) might be considered as an early molecular design study, as it depicts Dalton's view of various arrangements of water molecules. Note the similarity between these archaic philosophies and contemporary molecular models.
