Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation
This comprehensive focused library is produced on demand with state-of-the-art virtual screening and parameter assessment technology driven by Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This approach outperforms traditional methods and provides higher-quality compounds with superior 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 includes a list of the most effective modulators, each annotated with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 physicochemical and drug-likeness parameters. Furthermore, each compound is shown with its optimal docking poses, affinity scores, and activity scores, offering a detailed summary.
We use our state-of-the-art dedicated workflow for designing focused libraries for enzymes.

It includes comprehensive molecular simulations of the catalytic and allosteric binding pockets and the ensemble virtual screening accounting for their conformational mobility. In the case of designing modulators, the structural changes induced by reaction intermediates are taken into account to leverage activity and selectivity.

Background:
Ceruloplasmin, also known as Ferroxidase, is a blue, copper-binding glycoprotein crucial in iron metabolism. It possesses ferroxidase activity, facilitating the oxidation of Fe(2+) to Fe(3+) without releasing radical oxygen species, and plays a pivotal role in iron transport across cell membranes. Additionally, it contributes to the ascorbate-mediated deaminase degradation of heparan sulfate chains of GPC1 and may influence fetal lung development or pulmonary antioxidant defense.
Therapeutic significance:
Aceruloplasminemia, an autosomal recessive disorder linked to iron metabolism abnormalities, is directly associated with Ceruloplasmin. This condition underscores the protein's critical role in iron homeostasis, manifesting in retinal degeneration, diabetes mellitus, and neurological disturbances. Understanding Ceruloplasmin's function could pave the way for innovative treatments for iron metabolism disorders.
