CNS MPO Lead-like Library

With the aging population and increasing competitive pressures, neurodegenerative diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) have become a serious medical challenge in modern society, including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, brain tumors, and multiple sclerosis. The CNS MPO (Multi-Parameter Optimization) score is a widely recognized algorithm in medicinal chemistry. Developed by Pfizer, this method is based on an analysis of approved CNS drugs and their interior CNS drug candidates, establishing the CNS MPO rules. It incorporates six key physicochemical properties (ClogP, ClogD, MW, TPSA, HBD, and pKa) to prospectively optimize CNS drug attributes—such as high blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, low P-gp efflux liability, low metabolic clearance, and high safety—thereby improving the clinical success rate of CNS drug candidates. The CNS MPO compound library is a collection of compounds with CNS MPO scores greater than 5, specifically designed for CNS drug discovery.
