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.
From a virtual chemical space containing more than 60 billion molecules, we precisely choose certain compounds. Our collaborator, Reaxense, aids in their synthesis and provision.
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 use our state-of-the-art dedicated workflow for designing focused libraries.

Our methodology leverages molecular simulations to examine a vast array of proteins, capturing their dynamics in both isolated forms and in complexes with other proteins. Through ensemble virtual screening, we thoroughly account for the protein's conformational mobility, identifying critical binding sites within functional regions and distant allosteric locations. This detailed exploration ensures that we comprehensively assess every possible mechanism of action, with the objective of identifying novel therapeutic targets and lead compounds that span a wide spectrum of biological functions.
Our library stands out due to several important features:

Background:
Ion channel TACAN, also known as Transmembrane protein 120A and induced by tumor necrosis factor alpha, plays a pivotal role in sensing mechanical pain. It contributes to mechanosensitive currents in nocireceptors, facilitating the detection of mechanical pain stimuli. Additionally, TACAN is implicated in adipogenesis, highlighting its versatile functions in human physiology.
Therapeutic significance:
Understanding the role of Ion channel TACAN could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies. Its involvement in mechanosensation and adipogenesis presents unique opportunities for targeting in pain management and metabolic disorders.
