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.
In the library, a selection of top modulators is provided, each marked with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 parameters related to physicochemical properties and drug-likeness. Also, every compound comes with its best docking poses, affinity scores, and activity scores, providing a comprehensive overview.
We utilise our cutting-edge, exclusive workflow to develop 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.

Background:
Double homeobox protein 4 (DUX4) functions as a transcription factor, crucial during early embryogenesis. It binds to specific DNA elements, regulating gene expression by promoting or inhibiting histone acetylation. DUX4's role extends to activating essential proteins like ZSCAN4 and KDM4E, and it may also influence microRNA expression. Its involvement in transcriptional regulation underscores its significance in cellular processes.
Therapeutic significance:
DUX4's aberrant expression is linked to Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy 1 (FSHD1), a degenerative muscle disease. The disease mechanism involves the reduction of D4Z4 macrosatellite repeats on chromosome 4q35, leading to DUX4 misexpression. Understanding DUX4's role could pave the way for innovative therapeutic strategies targeting its pathway to mitigate FSHD1 progression.
