Focused On-demand Libraries - Reaxense Collaboration

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.

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.

The library includes a list of the most effective modulators, each annotated with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 physicochemical and drug-likeness parameters. Furthermore, each compound is shown with its optimal docking poses, affinity scores, and activity scores, offering a detailed summary.

Our top-notch dedicated system is used to design specialised libraries for receptors.

It includes extensive molecular simulations of the receptor in its native membrane environment and the ensemble virtual screening accounting for its conformational mobility. In the case of dimeric or oligomeric receptors, the whole functional complex is modelled, and the tentative binding pockets are determined on and between the subunits to cover the whole spectrum of possible mechanisms of action.

Several key aspects differentiate our library:

  • Receptor.AI compiles an all-encompassing dataset on the target protein, including historical experiments, literature data, known ligands, and structural insights, maximising the chances of prioritising the most pertinent compounds.
  • The platform employs state-of-the-art molecular simulations to identify potential binding sites, ensuring the focused library is primed for discovering allosteric inhibitors and binders of concealed pockets.
  • Over 50 customisable AI models, thoroughly evaluated in various drug discovery endeavours and research projects, make Receptor.AI both efficient and accurate. This technology is integral to the development of our focused libraries.
  • In addition to generating focused libraries, Receptor.AI offers a full range of services and solutions for every step of preclinical drug discovery, with a pricing model based on success, thereby reducing risk and promoting joint project success.

Background:

The Melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R) is pivotal in regulating energy homeostasis and body weight. It responds to the heptapeptide core shared by adrenocorticotropic hormone and melanocyte-stimulating hormones, influencing adenylate cyclase activity via G proteins.

Therapeutic significance:

Given its central role in energy balance, MC4R is directly linked to obesity, a condition marked by excessive body fat accumulation. Targeting MC4R presents a promising avenue for obesity treatment, highlighting its therapeutic potential.
