Evotec Achieves Two Milestones in Fragment-based Drug Discovery Alliance with Shionogi
The collaboration was initiated in October 2010 to identify small molecule modulators of various protein-protein interaction targets selected by Shionogi. Evotec has applied its proprietary and integrated fragment-based drug discovery platform EVOlutionSM to the selected targets. Active fragments have been further characterised by X-ray crystallography to obtain structural information to aid selection of the best fragment optimization strategy. A team of medicinal chemists, biologists, computational chemists and structural biologists will in close collaboration with Shionogi progress the molecules through the fragment to lead and lead optimization stages.
