Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation
This extensive focused library is tailor-made using the latest virtual screening and parameter assessment technology, operated by the Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This technique is more effective than traditional methods, offering compounds with improved 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.

Background:
Glutamate receptor 4, also known as AMPA-selective glutamate receptor 4, GluR-D, and Glutamate receptor ionotropic, AMPA 4, plays a pivotal role in the central nervous system. It acts as a ligand-gated ion channel, essential for excitatory synaptic transmission. The binding of L-glutamate to this receptor induces a conformational change, leading to the opening of the cation channel and conversion of the chemical signal to an electrical impulse.
Therapeutic significance:
The protein is linked to a neurodevelopmental disorder with or without seizures and gait abnormalities, highlighting its critical role in neurological health. Understanding the role of Glutamate receptor 4 could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies for treating such disorders.
