Focused On-demand Library for Caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 9

Focused On-demand Libraries - Reaxense Collaboration

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.

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.

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 employ our advanced, specialised process to create targeted libraries.

Our methodology employs molecular simulations to explore a wide array of proteins, capturing their dynamic states both individually and within complexes. Through ensemble virtual screening, we address conformational mobility, uncovering binding sites within functional regions and remote allosteric locations. This thorough exploration ensures no potential mechanism of action is overlooked, aiming to discover novel therapeutic targets and lead compounds across an extensive spectrum of biological functions.

Several key aspects differentiate our library:

Receptor.AI compiles an all-encompassing dataset on the target protein, including historical experiments, literature data, known ligands, and structural insights, maximising the chances of prioritising the most pertinent compounds.
The platform employs state-of-the-art molecular simulations to identify potential binding sites, ensuring the focused library is primed for discovering allosteric inhibitors and binders of concealed pockets.
Over 50 customisable AI models, thoroughly evaluated in various drug discovery endeavours and research projects, make Receptor.AI both efficient and accurate. This technology is integral to the development of our focused libraries.
In addition to generating focused libraries, Receptor.AI offers a full range of services and solutions for every step of preclinical drug discovery, with a pricing model based on success, thereby reducing risk and promoting joint project success.

Background:

Caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 9 (CARD9) is a pivotal adapter protein that orchestrates innate immune responses against fungal pathogens. It facilitates signaling complexes downstream of C-type lectin receptors, crucial for antifungal immunity, especially against Ascomycota fungi. CARD9's activation leads to the recruitment of BCL10 and MALT1, triggering NF-kappa-B and MAP kinase pathways, which are instrumental in the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.

Therapeutic significance:

CARD9's role in immunodeficiency 103, characterized by susceptibility to fungal infections, underscores its therapeutic potential. The protein's involvement in immune responses and fungal clearance, particularly Candida albicans, highlights the possibility of targeting CARD9 pathways for innovative treatments against fungal infections and related immunodeficiencies.
