Small molecule covalent inhibitors, or irreversible inhibitors, are a type of inhibitors that exert their biological functions by irreversibly binding to target through covalent bonds. Compared with non-covalent inhibitors, covalent inhibitors have obvious advantages in bioactivity, such that covalent warheads can target rare residues of a particular target protein, thus leading to the development of highly selective inhibitors and achieving a more complete and continued target occupancy in living systems. In recent years, the distinct strengths of covalent inhibitors in overcoming drug resistance had been recognized. However, toxicity can be a real challenge related to this class of therapeutics due to their potential for off-target reactivity and has led to these drugs being disfavored as a drug class. The drug design and optimization of covalent inhibitors has become a hot spot in drug discovery.
MCE covalent inhibitor library contains 6,121 small molecules including identified covalent inhibitors and other molecules having common covalent reactive groups as warheads, such as acrylamides, activated terminal acetylenes, sulfonyl fluorides/esters, cloracetamides, alkyl halides, epoxides, aziridines, disulfides, etc.
MCE Covalent inhibitor Library plus, with more powerful screening capability, further complement Covalent inhibitor Library (HY-L036) by adding some fragment compounds with covalent warheads.
In drug discovery and development (R&D) area, target binding and druggability optimization are core processes. Among these attributes, high solubility is critical for a compound to achieve druggability, as it directly impacts the progress of drug R&D. Superior solubility ensures the rapid dissolution and uniform distribution of drug molecules in vivo, thereby enhancing bioavailability and effectively mitigating issues such as suboptimal efficacy, increased dosage requirements, or exacerbated toxic and side effects arising from insufficient solubility.
From the perspective of medicinal chemistry, high-solubility drug fragments serve as high-quality "molecular building blocks". Based on these fragments, lead compounds with potential druggability can be rapidly screened out, which significantly shortens the drug R&D cycle and reduces R&D costs. Meanwhile, the high-solubility drug fragment library can provide diverse options for drug development in different therapeutic areas, offer solutions for the solubility defects of existing clinical drugs, and facilitate the development of novel, highly effective targeted drugs with higher bioavailability and better safety profiles.
MCE has collected and compiled 2,527 experimentally validated small-molecule fragments with high solubility. These fragments can be directly used for drug molecular design, providing high-quality pre-validated solubility fragments that significantly improve the efficiency of lead compound screening and accelerate the progress of drug R&D.
Macrocyclic compounds (≥12-atom cyclic small molecules/peptides) have unique physicochemical properties. They form preorganized conformations with high binding affinity/selectivity, target traditional small-molecule-inaccessible proteins, and bridge small-molecule drugs and biological agents. As key protein phosphorylation enzymes, kinases are linked to tumors, COPD, etc., and are critical therapeutic targets. Traditional small-molecule kinase inhibitors lack selectivity, causing off-target toxicity, low bioavailability, and acquired resistance. Macrocycles’ semi-rigid structure restricts conformations, boosts binding selectivity, optimizes pharmacokinetics, and makes macrocyclization a core kinase inhibitor optimization strategy.
Thousands of bioactive macrocycles were curated from ChEMBL. Via Transformer, macrocyclization was converted into a chemical language translation task, enabling end-to-end macrocycle generation from linear precursors with simplified inputs. Macformer achieves efficient, automated linear molecule macrocyclization via deep learning; generated macrocycles have diversity, novelty, biocompatibility, and cover broader chemical space.
MCE collected thousands of marketed/clinical kinase inhibitors, using their fragments for macrocyclization to generate derivatives. After evaluating synthetic accessibility and physicochemical properties, a million-scale virtual macrocyclic library was built for kinase-related virtual and AI-driven screening.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a hepatotropic enveloped positive- strand RNA virus (family Flaviviridae) that infects the parenchymal cells of the liver. HCV infection is a significant public health burden. Globally, an estimated 71 million people have chronic hepatitis C virus infection. A significant number of those who are chronically infected will develop cirrhosis or liver cancer. To date, there is no vaccine against HCV, and combination pegylated alpha interferon (pIFN-) and ribavirin, the main standard-of-care treatment for HCV, is effective in only a subset of patients and is associated with a wide spectrum of toxic side effects and complications. More recently, new therapeutic approaches that target essential components of the HCV life cycle have been developed, including direct-acting antiviral (DAA) that specifically block a viral enzyme or functional protein and host-targeted agents (HTA) that block interactions between host proteins and viral components that are essential to the viral life cycle. However, the genetic diversity of HCV viruses and the stage of liver disease (i.e., cirrhosis) are revealing themselves as obstacles for effective, pan-genotypic treatments. There still exists a need for the discovery and development of new HCV inhibitors. In particular, since the future of HCV therapy will likely consist of a cocktail approach using multiple inhibitors that target different steps of infection, new antivirals targeting all steps of the viral infection cycle.
MCE offers a unique collection of 394 compounds with identified and potential anti-HCV activity. MCE Anti- Hepatitis C Virus Compound Library is a useful tool for discovery new anti-HCV drugs and other anti-infection research.
