Complement System

Metabolomics is the large-scale study of cellular metabolic complement, with proven utility in both basic and applied studies of plants, microorganisms, and mammals. As an important tool for the study of complex biological systems, metabolomics monitors the complex molecular networks that exist in the natural flow of information from genes to mRNA and proteins to organisms. The metabolome is composed of biomolecules that most closely resemble the phenotype of an organism, and changes in its composition can easily lead to the production of diseases. Therefore, metabolomics has received much attention in drug target discovery, drug response and translational research of disease mechanisms. Mass spectrometry-based metabolomics methods can simultaneously detect and quantify thousands of metabolite signatures, thereby characterizing the pathophysiological mechanisms of various biomedical symptoms.

MCE can provide 666 mass spectrometry human endogenous metabolites that can be used for metabolite identification and quantification, functional cell detection and phenotypic screening of mass spectrometry.

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 6,081 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.
