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.
We use our state-of-the-art dedicated workflow for designing focused libraries for enzymes.

The procedure entails thorough molecular simulations of the catalytic and allosteric binding pockets, accompanied by ensemble virtual screening that factors in their conformational flexibility. When developing modulators, the structural modifications brought about by reaction intermediates are factored in to optimize activity and selectivity.

Background:
The Sodium-dependent serotonin transporter, also known as 5HT transporter or Solute carrier family 6 member 4, plays a pivotal role in serotonin homeostasis. It transports serotonin across the plasma membrane, limiting its intercellular signaling. This protein is essential in the central nervous system for serotonin uptake, influencing the spatial organization of cortical neurons and the elaboration of sensory circuits. Additionally, it modulates serotonin levels in the gastrointestinal tract and regulates blood serotonin levels, crucial for enteric neurogenesis and gastrointestinal reflexes.
Therapeutic significance:
Understanding the role of the Sodium-dependent serotonin transporter could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies. Its critical function in serotonin homeostasis and signaling termination at synapses highlights its potential as a target for treating disorders related to serotonin imbalance.
