356 Results for "yield" in MCE Product Catalog:
RNA is crucial for the regulation of numerous cellular processes and functions. With the in-depth study of disease mechanisms, processes such as RNA expression, splicing, translation, and stability regulation have become new targets for disease intervention. RNA has provided new therapeutic modalities for metabolic diseases, genetic disorders, and cancer patients, resulting in several innovative drugs.
MCE R&D team collected small molecules targeting RNA from the PDB, R-BIND, ROBIN, and internal database as the positive dataset, and non-targeting RNA small molecules from ROBIN as the negative dataset. Based on the GeminiMol pre-trained model, we encoded the molecules and calculated over 1700 molecular descriptors using Mordred as inputs for the model. Subsequently, we employed 13 deep learning models to learn from the data. All of which yielded good training results, with AUROCs greater than 0.75. Ultimately, we selected the Finetune model to screen HY-L901P, which exhibited the best classification performance, achieving an AUROC of 0.82 and a prediction accuracy of 0.76. We then applied filtering based on StaR rules (with at least two of the following properties: cLogP ≥ 1.5, Molar Refractivity ≥ 4, Relative Polar Surface Area ≤ 0.3) to obtain a library containing approximately 5,000 small molecule compounds targeting RNA. This library serves as a valuable tool for screening small molecules that interact with RNA.
POI (Protein of Interest) refers to the target protein, namely the disease-causing protein or key functional protein that undergoes degradation or functional modulation in molecular glue-mediated processes. The Molecular Glue POI Library consists of a series of fragments that can specifically bind to different types of POIs. As key components of molecular glues, these ligands form stable interactions with target proteins, laying the foundation for molecular glues to induce the interaction between POIs and E3 ubiquitin ligases. The covered POIs include various types such as cancer-associated GSPT1, androgen receptors, and abnormally aggregated proteins linked to neurodegenerative diseases.
This fragment library can be applied to the screening and optimization of targeted protein degraders. By screening ligands with high affinity and strong selectivity for specific POIs from the library, core structures can be identified to develop novel molecular glues. For instance, optimization of ligands targeting GSPT1 has yielded molecular glue degraders with enhanced degradation activity. Since many POIs are difficult to drug due to the lack of traditional small-molecule binding pockets, some ligands in the POI Ligand Library can modulate such POIs by inducing protein-protein interactions, thereby further expanding the scope of drug discovery for undruggable targets.
MCE has compiled a POI Fragment Library comprising thousands of POI fragments with molecular weights ranging from 150 to 400. This compound library can be widely applied in Molecular Glue research and development.
