28 Results for "structure-activity relationships" in MCE Product Catalog:
Peptidomimetics are compounds whose essential elements (pharmacophore) mimic a natural peptide or protein in 3D space and which retain the ability to interact with the biological target and produce the same biological effect. Peptidomimetics are designed to circumvent some of the problems associated with a natural peptide: e.g. stability against proteolysis (duration of activity) and poor bioavailability. Certain other properties, such as receptor selectivity or potency, often can be substantially improved. The design and synthesis of peptidomimetics are most important because of the dominant position peptide and protein-protein interactions play in molecular recognition and signaling, especially in living systems. Hence mimics have great potential in drug discovery.
MCE Peptidomimetic Library contains 370 compounds including peptoid, α-helix mimetics, β-turn/sheets mimetics, etc. This library is an indispensable tool of structure-activity relationships in drug discovery.
At the forefront of innovative drug discovery, every medicinal chemist faces the challenge of rapidly identifying high-quality hit compounds from vast repositories of chemical resources.
The MCE Natural Product Diversity Scaffold Library is the result of a streamlined optimization process built upon our existing natural product collection. Adhering to the rigorous selection principle of "retaining only one representative compound per BMS scaffold", we have concentrated the diversity of thousands of compounds into a high-value, low-redundancy core set containing 2,256 compounds. All compounds are derived from natural sources, inheriting their inherent advantages of structural complexity and drug-likeness. By eliminating redundancy, the library size is significantly reduced without any compromise to chemical diversity. This approach effectively lowers the cost and time required for primary screening while simplifying downstream data analysis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
The rising prevalence of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant bacteria, combined with emerging resistance mechanisms and the limitations of existing antibacterial drugs, creates an urgent need for novel antibacterial agents. Antibacterial compound libraries serve as key tools to support antibacterial drug screening and development.
This library features structurally diverse compounds, including small-molecule scaffolds and natural product derivatives, and exhibits diverse antibacterial mechanisms of action. For example, these compounds exert antibacterial effects by disrupting bacterial cell structures, interfering with bacterial metabolic processes, and inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis. The derivation of scaffold structures enhances their activity against drug-resistant bacteria and their selectivity against different types of bacteria. This library can be used for the high-throughput screening of novel antibacterial drug candidates and the identification of potent compounds against drug-resistant and multidrug-resistant bacteria. Additionally, it provides a reference for compound structural modification, enabling further in-depth research on the structure-activity relationships(SARs) of antibacterial drugs. It can also be applied to the exploration of bacterial resistance mechanisms and reversal strategies, as well as the discovery of antibacterial molecules that inhibit efflux pumps and restore drug susceptibility.
The library contains 10855 structurally diverse drug-like compounds. Its core compound sources include analogs of known antifungal active moleculeswith a similarity score of ≥ 0.6. MCE has collected more than 1900 antibacterial molecules. All screened compounds conform to lead-like physicochemical properties, providing valuable support for the research and development of novel antibacterial drugs.
