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.
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 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 employ our advanced, specialised process to create targeted 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:
Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 4 (TRPV4) is a versatile protein involved in osmotic sensitivity, mechanosensitivity, and plays a pivotal role in calcium ion permeability across cell membranes. Its activation is influenced by various stimuli including hypotonicity, heat, and phorbol esters, contributing to diverse cellular functions from cell-cell junction formation to bone and cartilage development.
Therapeutic significance:
TRPV4's involvement in a wide array of diseases, from skeletal dysplasias like Brachyolmia 3 and Metatropic dysplasia to neuromuscular disorders such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, underscores its potential as a therapeutic target. Understanding the role of TRPV4 could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies for these conditions.
