Abstrakt: Drug-like properties play pivotal roles in drug adsorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity. Therefore, efficiently optimizing these properties is essential for the successful development of novel therapeutics. Understanding the structure-property relationships of clinically approved drugs can provide valuable insights for drug design and optimization strategies. Among the new drugs approved in 2023, which include 31 small-molecule drugs in the US, the structureproperty relationships of nine drugs were compiled from the medicinal chemistry literature, in which detailed information on pharmacokinetic and/or physicochemical properties was reported not only for the final drug but also for its key analogs generated during drug development. The structure- property relationships of nine newly approved drugs are summarized, including three kinase inhibitors and three G-protein-coupled receptor antagonists. Several optimization strategies, such as bioisosteric replacement and steric handle installation, have successfully produced clinical candidates with enhanced physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. The summarized structure- property relationships demonstrate how appropriate structural modifications can effectively improve overall drug-like properties. The ongoing exploration of structure-property relationships of clinically approved drugs is expected to offer valuable guidance for developing future drugs.
