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.

Natural products and semi-synthetic compounds continue to be a significant source of drug candidates for a broad range of diseases, including coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is causing the current pandemic. Besides being attractive sources of bioactive compounds for further development or optimization, natural products are excellent substrates of unique substructures for fragment-based drug discovery. To this end, fragment libraries should be incorporated into automated drug design pipelines. However, public fragment libraries based on extensive collections of natural products are still limited. Herein, we report the generation and analysis of a fragment library of natural products derived from a database with more than 400,000 compounds. We also report fragment libraries of a large food chemical database and other compound datasets of interest in drug discovery, including compound libraries relevant for COVID-19 drug discovery. The fragment libraries were characterized in terms of content and diversity.
