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.
Our selection of compounds is from a large virtual library of over 60 billion molecules. The production and distribution of these compounds are managed by our partner Reaxense.
In the library, a selection of top modulators is provided, each marked with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 parameters related to physicochemical properties and drug-likeness. Also, every compound comes with its best docking poses, affinity scores, and activity scores, providing a comprehensive overview.
We use our state-of-the-art dedicated workflow for designing focused libraries for enzymes.

It includes in-depth molecular simulations of both the catalytic and allosteric binding pockets, with ensemble virtual screening focusing on their conformational flexibility. For modulators, the process includes considering the structural shifts due to reaction intermediates to boost activity and selectivity.
Our library stands out due to several important features:

Background:
Sialidase-4, also known as N-acetyl-alpha-neuraminidase 4, plays a crucial role in the catabolism of glycolipids, glycoproteins, and oligosaccharides. It catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of terminal sialic acids, impacting various biological processes including cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth. Its activity on gangliosides and sialylated antigens like sialyl Lewis A and X modulates cell surface interactions and signaling.
Therapeutic significance:
Understanding the role of Sialidase-4 could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies. Its involvement in modulating cell surface glycan epitopes and neurite outgrowth suggests its potential in targeting diseases where these processes are dysregulated.
