Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation
This comprehensive focused library is produced on demand with state-of-the-art virtual screening and parameter assessment technology driven by Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This approach outperforms traditional methods and provides higher-quality compounds with superior activity, selectivity and safety.
We pick out particular compounds from an extensive virtual database of more than 60 billion molecules. The preparation and shipment of these compounds are facilitated by our associate Reaxense.
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.
Our high-tech, dedicated method is applied to construct targeted libraries.

Utilising molecular simulations, our approach thoroughly examines a wide array of proteins, tracking their conformational changes individually and within complexes. Ensemble virtual screening enables us to address conformational flexibility, revealing essential binding sites at functional regions and allosteric locations. Our rigorous analysis guarantees that no potential mechanism of action is overlooked, aiming to uncover new therapeutic targets and lead compounds across diverse biological functions.

Background:
The Cystine/glutamate transporter, known as xCT and officially designated as Solute carrier family 7 member 11, plays a crucial role in cellular defense mechanisms. It operates as a heterodimer with SLC3A2, facilitating the exchange of extracellular L-cystine and intracellular L-glutamate across the plasma membrane. This process is vital for maintaining redox balance and intracellular levels of glutathione, essential for protecting cells from oxidative stress. The transporter's function is sodium-independent and electroneutral, driven by the high intracellular concentration of L-glutamate.
Therapeutic significance:
Understanding the role of the Cystine/glutamate transporter could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies.
