Abstract

Fragment-Based Drug Discovery (FBDD) is here to stay. Validated as a technology with the delivery of Zelboraf (Vemurafenib) for the treatment of mutant B-RafV600E melanoma, it has become embedded within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. FBDD has delivered clinical development candidates for a broad range of targets including some of the most challenging cases such as β-secretase (BACE1) and protein–protein interactions. But the best is surely still to come.
