1100 Results for "PROTAC research" in MCE Product Catalog:
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.
Targeted Protein Degradation (TPD) is a novel and promising approach to drug development. It shows great potential for targeting proteins traditionally considered "undruggable" due to the lack of enzymatic function and absence of binding sites by tagging them for degradation or recruiting natural degradation mechanisms.
Molecular glues are a type of small-molecule degraders that primarily induce novel interactions between E3 ubiquitin ligases and target proteins, forming ternary complexes that lead to protein ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Compared with PROTACs, molecular glues generally have lower molecular weights, higher cell permeability, and better drug-like properties. Additionally, the design of molecular glues is relatively simple, without the requirements for complex linkers and ligand optimization. As a result, molecular glues have gradually emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for various diseases.
Multiple types of molecular glues have been reported previously. Analysis of co-crystal complex structures reveals that CRBN-related molecular glues are more versatile. Therefore, MCE researchers select active molecules related to these targets as probes for artificial intelligence (AI) screening.Subsequently, molecular docking technology was used to verify whether the screened molecules retained the key pharmacophore features. Ultimately, we obtained 317 molecular glue analogs, and these compounds serve as powerful tools for the research of molecular glues.

In modern medicinal chemistry and chemical biology research, alkyne (-C≡C-) structures play an important role in click chemistry, bioorthogonal labeling, and the construction of functional molecules due to their unique linear geometry and high reactivity. In particular, driven by the development of copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and copper-free click reactions (SPAAC), terminal alkyne groups have become important “chemical handles” for building complex biomolecular systems.
The MCE Alkyne Compound Library contains 437 compounds designed for the construction of click chemistry reaction systems and the development of diverse functional molecules. In drug discovery, these structures serve as key reactive sites that can efficiently undergo click reactions with azide groups, enabling modular assembly of PROTAC molecules, construction of ADC linkers, and rapid synthesis of bioorthogonal labeling probes. In addition, alkyne groups exhibit high stability, mild reaction conditions, and excellent biocompatibility, allowing them to maintain reactivity in complex biological environments. This contributes to improved efficiency and controllability in drug development, making them indispensable chemical building blocks in modern drug design and functional molecular engineering.
