Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation
The focused library is created on demand with the latest virtual screening and parameter assessment technology, supported by the Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This method is more effective than traditional methods and results in higher-quality compounds with better 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.
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 use our state-of-the-art dedicated workflow for designing focused libraries.

Our strategy employs molecular simulations to explore an extensive range of proteins, capturing their dynamics both individually and within complexes with other proteins. Through ensemble virtual screening, we address proteins' conformational mobility, uncovering key binding sites at both functional regions and remote allosteric locations. This comprehensive investigation ensures a thorough assessment of all potential mechanisms of action, with the goal of discovering innovative therapeutic targets and lead molecules across across diverse biological functions.
Our library distinguishes itself through several key aspects:

Background:
The Bifunctional UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase, also known as UDP-GlcNAc-2-epimerase/ManAc kinase, plays a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc), a precursor to sialic acids. These acids are crucial for cell adhesion, signal transduction, and the tumorigenic and metastatic behavior of malignant cells. Its function is essential for early development and normal sialylation in hematopoietic cells.
Therapeutic significance:
The protein's involvement in sialuria and Nonaka myopathy, diseases characterized by developmental delays, muscle weakness, and abnormal sialic acid metabolism, underscores its therapeutic potential. Targeting the protein's activity could lead to innovative treatments for these genetic disorders.
