We have integrated two complementary methods, high-throughput virtual screening with a "high-content" wet screening technique based on frontal affinity chromatography with mass spectrometry detection (FAC-MS), for identification of hits against the erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular B2 (EphB2) receptor tyrosine kinase domain. Both an EphB2-directed virtual screen combining docking and scoring and a kinase-directed pharmacophore search strategy were used to identify a compound set enriched in bioactive compounds against EphB2. The coupling of virtual screening methodologies with FAC-MS is a unique hybrid approach that can be used to increase the efficacy of both hit discovery and optimization efforts in drug discovery and has successfully identified hits, in particular 19a (36% shift, IC 50 ) 5.2 µM, K d ) 3.3 µM), as inhibitors for EphB2, a potential cancer target.
