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.
We pick out particular compounds from an extensive virtual database of more than 60 billion molecules. The preparation and shipment of these compounds are facilitated by our associate Reaxense.
The library includes a list of the most promising modulators annotated with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 physicochemical and drug-likeness parameters. Also, each compound is presented with its optimal docking poses, affinity scores, and activity scores, providing a comprehensive overview.
We utilise our cutting-edge, exclusive workflow to develop focused libraries for receptors.

This process includes extensive molecular simulations of the receptor in its native membrane environment, along with ensemble virtual screening that accounts for its conformational mobility. In the case of dimeric or oligomeric receptors, the entire functional complex is modelled, identifying potential binding pockets on and between the subunits to encompass all possible mechanisms of action.
Our library distinguishes itself through several key aspects:

Background:
The Glycine receptor subunit alpha-1, also known as the Glycine receptor 48 kDa subunit or the Glycine receptor strychnine-binding subunit, is a pivotal component of glycine receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. These channels are essential for the regulation of neuronal excitability and play a crucial role in the generation of inhibitory postsynaptic currents. Their activation is facilitated by extracellular glycine, taurine, and beta-alanine, with channel characteristics varying based on subunit composition.
Therapeutic significance:
The Glycine receptor subunit alpha-1 is implicated in Hyperekplexia 1, a neurological disorder characterized by muscular rigidity and an exaggerated startle response. Understanding the role of this protein could lead to novel therapeutic strategies for managing this condition.
