Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation
Our detailed focused library is generated on demand with advanced virtual screening and parameter assessment technology powered by the Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This method surpasses traditional approaches, delivering compounds of better quality with enhanced 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.
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.

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.
Our library is unique due to several crucial aspects:

Background:
Cytochrome P450 7A1, also known as Cholesterol 7-alpha-hydroxylase, plays a pivotal role in cholesterol metabolism and bile acid biosynthesis. This enzyme catalyzes the hydroxylation of cholesterol at the 7-alpha position, a crucial step in converting cholesterol into bile acids, which are essential for fat digestion and cholesterol homeostasis. Its activity influences the concentration of cholesterol and oxysterols, contributing to the regulation of cholesterol levels in the body.
Therapeutic significance:
Understanding the role of Cytochrome P450 7A1 could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies. Its central function in cholesterol metabolism and bile acid synthesis makes it a promising target for addressing disorders related to cholesterol homeostasis and bile acid deficiencies.
