76 Results for "covalent modification" in MCE Product Catalog:
Covalent inhibitors are small molecules that can bind specifically to target proteins through covalent bonds and inhibit their biological functions. Although for a long time, covalent targeting has been playing a subordinate role in drug discovery, with an increasing number of reports on successful clinical applications of such drugs, the potential of these agents is now being acknowledged.
Covalent ligands rely on reactive groups (“warheads”), and new warheads are key to expanding the scope of covalent modalities. Through careful selection, we constructed a structural filter containing over 110 electrophilic groups. By analyzing the electrophilic fragments selected by the structural filter, we removed any molecules with trivial or undesirable structural features. Ultimately, we obtained 8,900 fragment molecules with covalent modification potential, which can target various reactive amino acid residues and can be used for fragment-based covalent drug discovery.
Sulfonyl fluoride (-SO₂F) overcomes the poor target selectivity of traditional covalent warheads that rely heavily on cysteine. With high stability and tunable electrophilicity under physiological conditions, it targets multiple nucleophilic residues including Lys, Tyr, Ser and His, offering expanded druggable space, lower off-target risks and prolonged efficacy. It is widely used in covalent inhibitors, molecular glues, PROTACs and chemical probes.
MCE has built a highly diverse sulfonyl fluoride fragment library with 1,162 structurally diverse, drug-like fragments. Designed for balanced reactivity, stability and compatibility, these molecules feature tunable electrophilicity, simple scaffolds and high derivatization potential. Combined with SuFEx click chemistry, the library enables efficient modular modification and rapid structure optimization.
Ideal for targeting non-cysteine residues, this library improves covalent screening and probe development efficiency, serving as a precise tool for early-stage covalent drug discovery and chemical biology research.
