Heat-clearing and detoxification is a specific treatment method in the research of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which is clinically used to treat infectious diseases with remarkable effect. Over the past decades, the research of heat-clearing and detoxification treatment has been one of the most active fields of combining traditional Chinese and western medicines, and has made remarkable achievements. Nowadays, the application field of heat-clearing and detoxification traditional Chinese medicine is not only limited to antibacterial and antiviral, but also has made progress in the research fields of anti-inflammatory reaction, anti-endotoxin, anti-peroxidative damage, anti-inflammatory cytokines, enhancement of immune function, protection of cellular organelles, and maintenance of calcium homeostasis. In addition to this, clearing heat and removing toxins has also made significant research progress in non-infectious diseases, for example, in tumors, cardiovascular diseases, renal diseases, blood diseases, geriatrics, and diabetes, all of which have shown good curative effect.
MCE can supply 1,282 monomer component from more than a hundred sources of heat-clearing and detoxification TCM, which can be used in TCM studies, drug development and mechanism-based studies.
Boronic acid and boronic ester represent a relatively novel and promising chemical structure in drug design. Boronic acid exists in an sp²-hybridized state, possessing an empty p-orbital that can act as a Lewis acid to accept lone pairs from heteroatoms (O, N, or S). This Lewis acidity enables it to form reversible covalent bonds with amino acid residues such as lysine, serine, threonine, and histidine. Currently, five FDA-approved drugs containing boronic acid or boronic ester predominantly involve such covalent binding mechanisms in their interactions with target proteins. Furthermore, boronic acid can serve as a bioisostere for carboxylic acids, phosphates, and phenolic groups, utilized to improve pharmacokinetic properties and enhance drug efficacy.
To date, five boron-containing drugs have been approved by the FDA. The unique properties of boronic acids and boronic esters confer significant potential in drug design, with applications spanning cancer therapy (e.g., multiple myeloma), anti-infectives (e.g., fungal infections, tuberculosis), anti-inflammatory treatments (e.g., atopic dermatitis), antibacterial agents (e.g., carbapenem-resistant bacterial infections), and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)-responsive prodrugs, among others. The MCE Boronic Acid/Boronic Ester Fragment Library, which contains 1,488 compounds, serves as a valuable tool for the development of boron-containing drugs.
