Examination of the correlation between the Predicted Efficacy Scores (PES) of the candidate kinetic stabilizers and their Thyroid Hormone Receptor Experimental Efficacy Scores (THREE Scores). THREE Score values for individual compounds were calculated using Equation 3. The cutoff line at 0.667 represents 1 inhibitor bound per TTR tetramer as described in Figure 3. Solid black data points represent the percentage of compounds within the 0.2 PES bins that exceed the 0.667 cutoff. As in Figure 3, the highest proportion of potent and selective TTR aggregation inhibitors occurs at PES values >1.8; however, at PES values above 2.5, binding to the TH receptor decreases the THREE score values significantly. Thus, the most promising potent and selective TTR amyloidogenesis inhibitors that display minimal binding to the TH receptor are predicted in the PES = 1.8–2.5 range (i.e., the area shaded grey). Please refer to Table S1 in the Supporting Information for a complete tabulation of all values.
