Focused On-demand Library for ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 4

Focused On-demand Libraries - Reaxense Collaboration

Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation

This comprehensive focused library is produced on demand with state-of-the-art virtual screening and parameter assessment technology driven by Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This approach outperforms traditional methods and provides higher-quality compounds with superior 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.

The library includes a list of the most effective modulators, each annotated with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 physicochemical and drug-likeness parameters. Furthermore, each compound is shown with its optimal docking poses, affinity scores, and activity scores, offering a detailed summary.

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.

Key features that set our library apart include:

The Receptor.AI platform integrates extensive information about the target protein, such as historical experiments, academic research, known ligands, and structural insights, thereby increasing the likelihood of identifying highly relevant compounds.
The platform’s sophisticated molecular simulations are designed to discover potential binding sites, ensuring that our focused library is optimal for the discovery of allosteric inhibitors and binders for cryptic pockets.
With over 50 customisable AI models, verified through extensive testing in commercial drug discovery and research, Receptor.AI is efficient, reliable, and precise. These models are essential in the production of our focused libraries.
Receptor.AI not only produces focused libraries but also provides full services and solutions at every stage of preclinical drug discovery, with a success-based pricing structure that aligns our interests with the success of your project.

Background:

ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 4 (ABCG4) is identified as an ATP-dependent transporter within the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family, primarily implicated in the cellular efflux of sterols, notably cholesterol and desmosterol. This protein plays a pivotal role in transporting these molecules to high-density lipoprotein (HDL), facilitating their removal from cells. Additionally, ABCG4 is involved in the clearance of amyloid-beta peptides from the brain, a process potentially hindered by desmosterol. The exact mechanism, whether direct transport of amyloid-beta peptides or alteration of the membrane lipid environment to enable peptide export, remains to be fully elucidated. Furthermore, ABCG4 has been shown to induce apoptosis in various cell types.

Therapeutic significance:

Understanding the role of ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 4 could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies, particularly in the management of cholesterol-related disorders and Alzheimer's disease, by targeting the protein's transport and apoptotic functions.
