The high rates of morbidity and mortality caused by fungal infections are associated with the current limited antifungal arsenal and the high toxicity of the compounds. Additionally, identifying novel drug targets is challenging because there are many similarities between fungal and human cells. The most common antifungal targets include fungal RNA synthesis and cell wall and membrane components, though new antifungal targets are being investigated. Nonetheless, fungi have developed resistance mechanisms, such as overexpression of efflux pump proteins, overexpression and changes in drug targets and biofilm formation, emphasizing the importance of discovering new antifungal drugs and therapies. Due to the limited antifungal arsenal, researchers have sought to improve treatment via different approaches, such as the combination of antifungal drugs, development of new formulations for antifungal agents and modifications to the chemical structures of traditional antifungals, etc.
MCE offers a unique collection of 585 compounds with validated antifungal activities. MCE antifungal compound library is an effective tool for drug repurposing screening, combination screening and biological investigation.
Amino acids are the fundamental components that sustain life activities, playing roles in ATP generation, promoting nucleotide synthesis, and maintaining cellular redox balance. Moreover, dysregulation of amino acid consumption is a significant potential regulatory mechanism leading to impaired anti-tumor immunity in immune cells. The normal functioning of immune cells relies on amino acid metabolic pathways to obtain energy and materials, and upon activation, they reprogram their metabolism to support growth, proliferation, and effector functions. Additionally, metabolic disorders of specific amino acids (such as branched-chain amino acids, glutamine, and arginine) can exacerbate mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, thereby promoting myocardial fibrosis and cardiac cell damage. Therefore, conducting research related to amino acid metabolism holds promise for discovering potential drugs for diseases related to cancer, immunity, and metabolism.
MCE can provide 195 kinds of metabolites of amino acid metabolic pathways, which can be used for drug screening in various diseases such as cancer, immune disorders, metabolic diseases, mitochondrial-targeted diseases
Metabolomics, positioned as the systemic characterization of small-molecule metabolites within biological systems, has emerged as an indispensable analytical platform in both fundamental research and translational applications across plant sciences, microbial biotechnology, and biomedical investigations. Functioning as a critical component in multi-omics integration, this discipline deciphers the intricate molecular networks operating downstream of genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic regulation, thereby capturing the dynamic biochemical phenotype closest to organismal functionality. The metabolome, comprising endogenous compounds with molecular weights typically below 1500 Da, serves as the functional readout of cellular processes and environmental interactions, where perturbations in metabolic networks are frequently implicated in disease pathogenesis. Such unique attributes have propelled metabolomics into a pivotal role in pharmacological research, particularly in target deconvolution, pharmacodynamic assessment, and mechanistic elucidation of pathological processes.
MCE can provide 6,077 mass spectrometry human metabolites that can be used for metabolite identification and quantification, functional cell detection and phenotypic screening of mass spectrometry.
Flavor is an expression of smell and taste that is achieved through a variety of chemical processes triggered by molecules. Food flavor is an important attribute of food quality and in some cases determines consumers' food preferences. In addition to playing a key role in taste and smell, flavor molecules can also be involved in regulating metabolism and have an impact on health. In daily life, flavor molecules have absolute application value in food and spices. In scientific research, the study of flavor molecules is helpful to reveal the relationship between food intake and taste perception. Research on the combination behavior of flavor and food components can explore the retention, release and perception of flavor molecules. Most importantly, while exploring multi-sensory flavor perception, the food industry can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of researching new strategies for delicious and healthy food design.
Based on the FlavorDB database, collects and organizes 442 flavor molecules, which can be used in taste perception and other related studies.
Natural products are small molecules produced naturally by any organism including primary and secondary metabolites. Natural sources may lead to basic research on potential bioactive components for commercial development as lead compounds in drug discovery.
Nature has been a source of medicinal agents for thousands of years, and an impressive number of modern drugs have been isolated from natural sources, many based on their use in traditional medicine. With the development of new molecular targets, there is an increasing demand for novel molecular diversity for screening. Natural products will play a crucial role in meeting this demand through the continued investigation of world’s bio-diversity, much of which remains unexplored.
MCE provides a unique collection of 5,121 natural compounds that contain Saccharides and Glycosides, Phenylpropanoids, Quinones, Flavonoids, Terpenoids and Glycosides, Steroids, Alkaloid, Phenols, Acids and Aldehydes. Natural Product Library is a useful tool for drug discovery that can be used for high throughput screening (HTS) and high content screening (HCS).
