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.
We carefully select specific compounds from a vast collection of over 60 billion molecules in virtual chemical space. Our partner Reaxense helps in synthesizing and delivering these compounds.
The library features a range of promising modulators, each detailed with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 physicochemical and drug-likeness parameters. Plus, each compound is presented with its ideal docking poses, affinity scores, and activity scores, ensuring a thorough insight.
We use our state-of-the-art dedicated workflow for designing focused libraries for enzymes.

The method includes detailed molecular simulations of the catalytic and allosteric binding pockets, along with ensemble virtual screening that considers their conformational flexibility. In the design of modulators, structural changes induced by reaction intermediates are taken into account to enhance activity and selectivity.

Background:
Methylthioribulose-1-phosphate dehydratase, also known as an APAF1-interacting protein, plays a pivotal role in the methionine salvage pathway. This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of methylthioribulose-1-phosphate into 2,3-diketo-5-methylthiopentyl-1-phosphate, a critical step in a pathway that is essential for cellular functions including cancer progression, apoptosis, microbial proliferation, and inflammation regulation.
Therapeutic significance:
Understanding the role of Methylthioribulose-1-phosphate dehydratase could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies. Its involvement in key biological processes such as the inhibition of CASP1-related inflammatory response, CASP9-dependent apoptotic pathway, and cytochrome c-dependent cell death highlights its potential as a target for therapeutic intervention in diseases characterized by these pathological processes.
