Paper: Fuelling Open-Source Drug Discovery: 177 Small-Molecule Leads against Tuberculosis


As it was announced last year, some of our collaborators in GSK Tres Cantos just published the results of a large antimycobacterial phenotypic screening campaign against Mycobacterium bovis BCG with hit confirmation in M. tuberculosis H37Rv. After the screening and in silico cascade, a set of 177 potent non-cytotoxic H37Rv hits was identified, providing a plethora of diverse potential starting points for new synthetic lead-generation activities to the global scientific community.

The dataset is hosted in ChEMBL and can be downloaded from here with a short description here.
