The discovery of hit molecule is a cornerstone of drug development. Among the diverse tools available, DNA-encoded libraries have emerged a revolutionary platform for high-throughput screening. Compared with traditional HTS, DEL features shorter screening processes, lower costs, simpler assays, and larger library capacities.

DEL Construction utilizes split-and-pool synthesis, a combinatorial chemistry approach that involves iterative splitting, reaction, and pooling. This strategy enables rapid, exponential assembly of fragments in minimal steps without the need for individual compound synthesis andassoicicated isolation or purification steps, thus greatly reducing overall costs. The technology enables simultaneous affinity screeningof massive compound collections to target proteins in a single step. By coupling chemical structures with unique DNA barcodes, each compound is tagged with a distinct DNA sequence for convenient tracking and decoding.DELs readily enable the construction and efficient screening of libraries containing millions to billions of compounds. As a result, DEL screening combines the dual advantages of high efficiency and low cost, making DEL a transformative technology in modern drug discovery.

The DEL kit consists of 50 independent libraries with a total scale of 100 billion compounds. It is constructed through stepwise combinatorial chemistry strategies involving 2-, 3-, and 4-round synthesis. By employing diverse scaffolds and flexible linking strategies, it encompasses various ring systems, linear frameworks, and heterocyclic structures. Screening can be achieved solely through affinity, independent of target-specific activity detection methods. This library is suitable for DEL screening against a wide range of targets.

MCE-18 stands for Medicinal Chemistry Evolution 2018, which was first published in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry in 2019 for assessing molecular novelty and three-dimensional complexity. Developed based on Clarivate global pharmaceutical patent database, this descriptor was constructed via big-data analysis covering 28,161 patented lead compounds, 1,370 approved drugs and nearly 30,000 preclinical-to-phase III drug candidates from 23 top pharmaceutical companies worldwide between 1950 and 2018, followed by structural clustering and removal of redundant outdated scaffolds for data denoising. Its scoring system integrates five core structural features including aromatic ring (AR), aliphatic heterocycle (NAR), chiral center (CHIRAL), spiro atom (SPIRO), cyclic and acyclic sp³ carbon ratio together with a quadratic topological correction factor. Breaking the limitations of the single Fsp³ parameter, MCE-18 effectively distinguishes conventional flat aromatic scaffolds from modern 3D-enriched novel chemotypes, overcoming typical drawbacks of traditional compound libraries such as scaffold redundancy, low screening hit rates and poor compatibility with allosteric and PPI-related difficult targets.

This library contains over 37,000 structurally diverse compounds with favorable overall drug-likeness, suitable for high-throughput screening against canonical targets including kinases, GPCRs and proteases as well as challenging allosteric and PPI targets. Compounds comply with the developmental trend of modern novel drug discovery, supporting routine primary screening as well as early hit identification of allosteric modulators and PPI inhibitors, serving as an efficient screening resource for early-stage innovative drug discovery.

Cosmetics are complex mixtures formulated through the rational blending and processing of various natural, synthetic, or extracted raw materials. The ingredients used in cosmetics are diverse in type and functionality. Based on their properties and applications, cosmetic ingredients can generally be classified into two main categories: base materials and auxiliary ingredients. The former constitutes the primary component of cosmetics, accounting for a significant proportion in formulations and serving as the key functional substances. Auxiliary ingredients, on the other hand, play roles in shaping the product, ensuring stability, or imparting color, fragrance, and other specific characteristics.Establishing a systematic ingredient database is of great significance for cosmetic research and development. By analyzing the physicochemical properties (such as oil-water partition coefficients and molecular weight distribution), biological activity mechanisms (such as antioxidant pathways and cellular signaling regulation), and compatibility of ingredients, the database can provide precise guidance for formulation design. This approach helps shorten the development cycle of cosmetic/skincare products and reduces trial-and-error costs.

MCE offers 626 types of cosmetic ingredient compounds, including antioxidants, humectants, emulsifiers, film-forming agents, and more.

MCE 18 stands for Medicinal Chemistry Evolution 2018. This metric was established based on structural data of 28,161 patented lead molecules, 1,370 marketed innovative drugs, and nearly 30,000 investigational candidates from preclinical to Phase III stages across 23 major global pharmaceutical companies from 1950 to 2018. After scaffold clustering analysis, a scoring model was constructed by integrating five three dimensional scaffold characteristics, including aromatic rings (AR), non aromatic heterocycles (NAR), chiral centers (CHIRAL), spirocycles (SPIRO), and the sp³ carbon ratio in cyclic and acyclic moieties, enabling quantitative assessment of molecular scaffold novelty and three dimensional complexity.

According to the score distribution of patented molecules, the top 25% of the original patent dataset was defined as the high novelty region. MCE 18 high scoring compounds selected based on this criterion can effectively avoid scaffold patent conflicts and intellectual property risks from the source. Molecules in this range typically feature a high sp³ carbon ratio, abundant chiral centers, spirocycles, and fused heterocycles with prominent three dimensional conformations. Their spatial properties allow precise matching to complex non traditional undruggable target pockets such as PPI interfaces and allosteric sites, making them ideal structural types for early stage screening of First in class drugs.

MCE‑18 Novelty Focused drug‑Like library strictly selects molecules from the aforementioned high scoring range, containing more than 10,000 premium drug like molecules with highly diverse scaffolds and rich 3D diversity. It can be used for high throughput screening of well established targets such as kinases, GPCRs, and proteases, and is especially suitable for hit identification in allosteric modulation, protein–protein interactions, and various undruggable orphan targets, fully supporting early stage drug discovery for cutting edge innovat

Bioactive compounds are a general term for a class of substances that can cause certain biological effects in the body, which are the main source of small molecule drugs. These compounds generally penetrate cell membranes, act on specific target proteins in cells, regulate intracellular signaling pathways, and cause some changes in cell phenotype.

MCE owns a unique collection of 32,925 compounds with confirmed biological activities and clear targets. These compounds include natural products, innovative compounds, approved compounds, and clinical compounds. This library is a useful tool for signal pathway research, drug discovery and drug repurposing, etc.

Bioactive Compound Library Plus, with more powerful screening capability, further complements Bioactive Compound Library (HY-L001) by adding some compounds with low solubility or solution stability (Part B) and some novel, rare or exclusive compounds (Part C) to this library. Overall, bioactive compound library plus (HY-L001P) includes tree parts: Part A, Part B and Part C. Compounds in Part A are equal to the products in HY-L001, which can be supplied in solution or solid form. Compounds in Part B and C are only supplied in solid form.

A protease (also called a peptidase, proteinase, or proteolytic enzyme) is an enzyme that catalyzes proteolysis, breaking down proteins into smaller polypeptides or single amino acids, and spurring the formation of new protein products. Proteases play important roles in regulating multiple biological processes in all living organisms, such as regulating the fate, localization, and activity of many proteins, modulating protein-protein interactions, creating new bioactive molecules, contributing to the processing of cellular information, and generating, transducing, and amplifying molecular signals.

Proteases are important targets in drug discovery. Some protease inhibitors are often used as anti-virus drugs and anti-cancer drugs. MCE offers a unique collection of 956 protease inhibitors. MCE Protease Inhibitor Library is critical for drug discovery and development.
