Abstract
Compounds containing a specific pharmacophore - the minimum structural features necessary for enzyme binding - can be retrieved from a database such as the National Cancer Institute repository by means of three-dimensional (3D) searching, which allows the retrieval of all compounds possessing a specified set of atoms with a given 3D geometry. The ways in which pharmacophores can be found and characterized and the details of the 3D searching methods are described. Elaboration of compounds found in such searches and their subsequent development as lead drugs is also discussed.Keywords
