Abstract
The drug-likeness of a compound is a key factor during the initial phases of drug discovery. It can be defined as the similarity between compounds and drugs. Here, we collate research related to the fraction of sp3 carbon atoms (Fsp3), including related high-throughput screening (HTS) cases, structural modifications based on Fsp3, and strategies to improve it. We also introduce new synthetic methods for spirocyclic scaffolds. It is likely that the reasonable rigidity of spirocyclic scaffolds will provide a new generation of drug candidates.Entities:
