Improving the hit-to-lead process: data-driven assessment of drug-like and lead-like screening hits

Wunberg T, Hendrix M, Hillisch A, Lobell M, Meier H, Schmeck C, Wild H and Hinzen B
Drug Discovery Today

Drug-like and lead-like hits derived from HTS campaigns provide good starting points for lead
optimization. However, too strong emphasis on potency as hit-selection parameter might hamper the
success of such projects. A detailed absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicology
(ADME–Tox) profiling is needed...
