The use of spirocyclic scaffolds in drug discovery

Open access

Abstract

Owing to their inherent three-dimensionality and structural novelty, spiro scaffolds have been increasingly utilized in drug discovery. In this brief review, we highlight selected examples from the primary medicinal chemistry literature during the last three years to demonstrate the versatility of spiro scaffolds. With recent progress in synthetic methods providing access to spiro building blocks, spiro scaffolds are likely to be used more frequently in drug discovery.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
