Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation
The specialised, focused library is developed on demand with the most recent virtual screening and parameter assessment technology, guided by the Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This approach exceeds the capabilities of traditional methods and offers compounds with higher activity, selectivity, and safety.
From a virtual chemical space containing more than 60 billion molecules, we precisely choose certain compounds. Our collaborator, Reaxense, aids in their synthesis and provision.
Contained in the library are leading modulators, each labelled with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 physicochemical and drug-likeness qualities. In addition, each compound is illustrated with its optimal docking poses, affinity scores, and activity scores, giving a complete picture.
Our high-tech, dedicated method is applied to construct targeted libraries.

Our methodology leverages molecular simulations to examine a vast array of proteins, capturing their dynamics in both isolated forms and in complexes with other proteins. Through ensemble virtual screening, we thoroughly account for the protein's conformational mobility, identifying critical binding sites within functional regions and distant allosteric locations. This detailed exploration ensures that we comprehensively assess every possible mechanism of action, with the objective of identifying novel therapeutic targets and lead compounds that span a wide spectrum of biological functions.

Background:
Neutrophil cytosol factor 2 (NCF2), also known by alternative names such as 67 kDa neutrophil oxidase factor and p67-phox, plays a pivotal role in the body's defense mechanism. It is essential for the activation of the latent NADPH oxidase, a critical enzyme necessary for the production of superoxide, a reactive oxygen species. This process is vital for the effective functioning of phagocytes, cells that protect the body by ingesting harmful foreign particles, bacteria, and dead or dying cells.
Therapeutic significance:
NCF2's dysfunction is directly linked to Granulomatous disease, chronic, autosomal recessive, 2, a severe immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent infections and chronic inflammation. Understanding the role of NCF2 could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies for enhancing phagocyte function and treating chronic granulomatous disease.
