Abstract
A computer based technique for the global investigation of property spaces is described. More particularly, a technique is described for the global investigation of chemical space, with reference to drugs, using a system comprised of molecules and descriptors that allows systematic mapping of the chemical space. The technique is used to generate a map of N-dimensional chemical space that allows one to examine, in a consistent manner with existing tools, the inner relationship between various molecules. The technique therefore allows one to investigate unexplored regions of the chemical space, avoiding redundancy, generating compounds with similar chemical information content, or to focus on subsets of the chemical space that are relevant to drug-like structures, without additional errors due to extrapolation.
