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.
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 utilise our cutting-edge, exclusive workflow to develop 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:
1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase PNPLA3, also known as Adiponutrin, plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism. It catalyzes the acylation of lysophosphatidic acid to phosphatidic acid, a key intermediate in the synthesis of triglycerides and glycerophospholipids. This enzyme exhibits specificity for long-chain fatty acyl-CoAs and has additional activities that may influence triglyceride remodeling.
Therapeutic significance:
PNPLA3 is implicated in Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a prevalent condition in Western countries characterized by triglyceride accumulation in the liver. Understanding the role of PNPLA3 could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies for NAFLD, aiming to mitigate disease progression and associated metabolic complications.
