EUbOPEN: Enabling and Unlocking biology in the OPEN

Descripción del proyecto

Descubrimiento de fármacos a gran escala

Existe una necesidad apremiante de descubrir nuevos fármacos que actúen e inhiban de forma selectiva proteínas humanas como los portadores de solutos y las ubiquitinas ligasas E3. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos EUbOPEN tiene como objetivo generar la mayor biblioteca de compuestos de acceso gratuito, que abarque un tercio del genoma farmacológico. Los socios caracterizarán la selectividad, la potencia y la actividad celular de inhibidores de las proteínas, prestando especial interés a la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal, el cáncer y la neurodegeneración. Se espera que las tecnologías creadas acorten de forma significativa los procesos de identificación de moléculas de partida y mejoren el proceso general de descubrimiento de fármacos. EUbOPEN se asociará con otros proyectos grandes para coordinar los esfuerzos de descubrimiento de fármacos a escala mundial.

Objetivo

The EUbOPEN partnership of excellence will aim to generate the largest freely available set of high-quality chemical inhibitors for human proteins. These compounds will include chemical probes for solute carriers (SLCs), E3-ubiquitin ligases (E3s) and other proteins, and a chemogenomic library (CGL) of 3000-5000 compounds covering one third of the druggable genome. All compounds in the sets will be comprehensively characterised defining their selectivity, potency and cellular activity. The compounds will be annotated with a series of established and novel biochemical and cell-based assays, including many derived from primary patient cells. Diseases of particular focus will be inflammatory bowel disease, cancer and neurodegeneration.
EUbOPEN partners have proven track records leading large international open science projects, developing unencumbered key reagents, and exploring new target areas. A strong commitment to open data and open science will accelerate the dissemination of knowledge and reagents as well as mitigate ethical issues that might arise by working with patient-derived cells.
EUbOPEN will partner extensively with other large projects (e.g. ReSOLUTE, Illuminating the Druggable Genome) to minimize duplication of effort and to maximize global coordination. EUbOPEN will provide via the EFPIA partners the public access to industry’s deep medicinal chemistry skills.
Sustainability of the project’s resources will be ensured through already established partnerships with chemical vendors and cheminformatics/database providers, which will ensure the long-term availability of the new chemical tool sets, all associated profiling data and established protocols.
The EUbOPEN project will form the foundation for future efforts to generate chemical modulators for the entire druggable genome and will develop new technologies significantly shortening hit and lead identification processes.
