Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation
The focused library is created on demand with the latest virtual screening and parameter assessment technology, supported by the Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This method is more effective than traditional methods and results in higher-quality compounds with better 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.
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.
We employ our advanced, specialised process to create targeted libraries for receptors.

The method involves detailed molecular simulations of the receptor in its native membrane environment, with ensemble virtual screening focusing on its conformational mobility. When dealing with dimeric or oligomeric receptors, the whole functional complex is modelled, and the tentative binding pockets on and between the subunits are established to address all possible mechanisms of action.
Our library stands out due to several important features:

Background:
The Type-1 angiotensin II receptor (AT1AR), also known as AT1BR, plays a pivotal role in regulating blood pressure and sodium retention by the kidney. This receptor, upon binding with angiotensin II, activates G-alpha proteins and phospholipase C, leading to increased cytosolic Ca(2+) concentrations and stimulation of protein kinase C. Additionally, AT1AR is implicated in the internalization of the SARS-CoV-2 virus through a complex with ACE2 and the viral spike protein, mediated by dynamin 2-dependent endocytosis.
Therapeutic significance:
Renal tubular dysgenesis, a severe disorder characterized by abnormal renal tubular development leading to perinatal death, is associated with mutations affecting AT1AR. Understanding the role of AT1AR could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies for this condition and other blood pressure-related diseases.
