3ANS, 3ANT - PubMed Abstract: 
Ligand efficiency is frequently used to evaluate fragment compounds in fragment-based drug discovery. We applied ligand efficiency indices in a conventional virtual screening-initiated lead generation study of soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors. From a considerable number of screening hits, we carefully selected a compound exhibiting relatively weak inhibitory activity but high ligand efficiency ...
