Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation
This extensive focused library is tailor-made using the latest virtual screening and parameter assessment technology, operated by the Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This technique is more effective than traditional methods, offering compounds with improved activity, selectivity, and safety.
The compounds are cherry-picked from the vast virtual chemical space of over 60B molecules. The synthesis and delivery of compounds is facilitated by our partner Reaxense.
The library features a range of promising modulators, each detailed with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 physicochemical and drug-likeness parameters. Plus, each compound is presented with its ideal docking poses, affinity scores, and activity scores, ensuring a thorough insight.
We employ our advanced, specialised process to create targeted libraries for receptors.

This includes comprehensive molecular simulations of the receptor in its native membrane environment, paired with ensemble virtual screening that factors in its conformational mobility. In cases involving dimeric or oligomeric receptors, the entire functional complex is modelled, pinpointing potential binding pockets on and between the subunits to capture the full range of mechanisms of action.

Background:
The Antiviral innate immune response receptor RIG-I, also known as ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX58, plays a pivotal role in the innate immune system. It detects viral RNAs in the cytoplasm, triggering a signaling cascade that results in the production of type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines. This receptor's ability to sense both positive and negative strand RNA viruses, including influenza, hepatitis C, and SARS-CoV-2, underscores its critical function in antiviral defense.
Therapeutic significance:
RIG-I's involvement in Singleton-Merten syndrome 2, characterized by aortic calcification and skeletal abnormalities, highlights its potential as a therapeutic target. Understanding the role of RIG-I could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies for treating viral infections and associated immune disorders.
