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.
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.
Contained in the library are leading modulators, each labelled with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 physicochemical and drug-likeness qualities. In addition, each compound is illustrated with its optimal docking poses, affinity scores, and activity scores, giving a complete picture.
We utilise our cutting-edge, exclusive workflow to develop focused 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.

Background:
Y+L amino acid transporter 1, also known as Solute carrier family 7 member 7, plays a crucial role in the transport of cationic amino acids across cell membranes. It functions as a heterodimer with SLC3A2, facilitating the efflux of cationic amino acids in exchange for neutral amino acids and sodium ions. This process is vital for nitric oxide synthesis and arginine transport in non-polarized cells, such as monocytes, essential for their proper function.
Therapeutic significance:
Y+L amino acid transporter 1's malfunction is linked to Lysinuric Protein Intolerance (LPI), a metabolic disorder characterized by poor nutrient absorption and severe systemic symptoms. Understanding the role of Y+L amino acid transporter 1 could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies for treating LPI, emphasizing the importance of targeted research in this area.
