In this work, marketed drug compounds (or known drug space) were used as a metric to test the principles of eliminating parent structures of the nitrenium ion (aryl-amine/nitro compounds) as well as sulphur and halogen containing molecules from screening compound collections. Molecules containing such moieties and/or atoms have biological and physiochemical properties, which possibly make them less attractive as leads in drug development. It was found that precursors to the nitrenium ion were relatively abundant in known drug space at 14%. Thus, their simple elimination from drug-like chemical space is not advisable. Interestingly, the mutagenic potential of the nitrenium ions is linked to their stability and quantum mechanical calculations...
