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.
We pick out particular compounds from an extensive virtual database of more than 60 billion molecules. The preparation and shipment of these compounds are facilitated by our associate Reaxense.
The library includes a list of the most promising modulators annotated with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 physicochemical and drug-likeness parameters. Also, each compound is presented with its optimal 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 comprehensive molecular simulations of the catalytic and allosteric binding pockets and the ensemble virtual screening accounting for their conformational mobility. In the case of designing modulators, the structural changes induced by reaction intermediates are taken into account to leverage activity and selectivity.

Background:
Retinol dehydrogenase 12 (RDH12) functions as a retinoids dehydrogenase/reductase, primarily converting various forms of retinal, including 9-cis, 11-cis, and all-trans-retinal, with a preference for NADP. It exhibits activity towards lipid peroxidation products, playing a crucial role in detoxifying toxic aldehyde products in photoreceptor cells. Despite its weak activity towards 13-cis-retinol, RDH12's involvement in visual processes and cellular detoxification underscores its biological significance.
Therapeutic significance:
RDH12 is implicated in severe retinal dystrophies, such as Leber congenital amaurosis 13 and Retinitis pigmentosa 53, diseases characterized by early-onset vision loss and progressive retinal degeneration. Understanding the role of RDH12 could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies, offering hope for interventions that could mitigate or reverse the progression of these debilitating visual impairments.
