# Molport Drug-Like Compound Library
The **Molport Drug-Like Compound Library** contains **2,140,604 pre-filtered drug-like compounds** selected from Molport’s 5.8M purchasable compound database. This curated library is designed to support **computational chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and drug discovery workflows**, saving researchers time by focusing only on compounds that comply with the **Lipinski Rule of 5 (Ro5)** and additional filters.
## Problem
Public chemical databases often contain millions of compounds. While this diversity is valuable, it also creates challenges: **virtual screenings** against biological targets can become time-consuming and computationally heavy, as researchers must first filter out non-drug-like molecules. Without pre-processing, valuable time is lost before experiments can begin.
## Solution
Molport has pre-filtered its 5.8M in-stock database into a **drug-like focused collection** of ~2.1M compounds. By applying physicochemical property filters and excluding problematic chemotypes, this dataset allows researchers to immediately begin screening and hit discovery against their targets.
## Applied Filters
The following property criteria were used to select the **drug-like subset**:
| Property | Lower Limit | Upper Limit |
|------------------|-------------|-------------|
| MW (without salts) | 120 | 450 |
| cLogP | -5 | 4.25 |
| RotB | 0 | 8 |
| HBA | 0 | 10 |
| HBD | 0 | 5 |
| Fsp3 | 0.29 | 1 |
| TPSA | – | 140 |
| nArR | – | 3 |
| PAINS (DW) | – | 0 |
| NASTY MOIETIES | – | 0 |
## Distribution of Chemical Properties
The following chart shows the distribution of key calculated physicochemical properties across the **2.1M drug-like compounds**, including MW, cLogP, HBA, HBD, TPSA, Fsp3, RotB, and nArR.
