1166 Results for "lowering" in MCE Product Catalog:
New drug development is a time-consuming and high-cost process. Drug repurposing (also called drug repositioning, reprofiling or re‑tasking) offers various advantages over developing an entirely new drug for a given indication. First, the risk of failure is lower. Second, the time frame for drug development can be reduced. Third, less investment is needed. Approved drugs have identified bioactivities, good pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety which are suitable for drug repurposing.
MCE owns a unique collection of 3,663 approved compounds which have been completed extensive preclinical and clinical studies and have well-characterized bioactivities, safety and bioavailability properties. MCE FDA-Approved Drug Library Plus, with more powerful screening capability, further complements FDA-Approved Drug Library (HY-L022) by adding some compounds with low solubility or solution stability (Part B) to this library. All those supplementary are supplied in powder form.
A diverse compound library with favorable ADMET properties (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity) is crucial in drug discovery. Early evaluation of ADMET properties allows for the exclusion of molecules with unfavorable profiles at the initial stages, thereby reducing the risk of late-stage development failures, lowering R&D costs, and accelerating optimization of lead compounds. Based on predictions from ADMET-related AI algorithms, the compounds in this library are predicted to exhibit favorable oral bioavailability (F > 30%), reasonable plasma protein binding (PPB < 98%), minimized CYP3A4 inhibition potential (inhibition probability < 50%, CYP3A4 is the most critical drug-metabolizing enzyme in the cytochrome P450 family) , low toxicity profiles, with 140 potentially toxic substructures pre-identified and excluded via substructure searching to eliminate compounds containing hazardous fragments. The diversity library enables broad applicability in high-throughput screening (HTS) and high-content screening (HCS).

Lysine is the second most common target residue used in the design of TCIs and related covalent ligands. Its appeal lies in its abundance in human proteins, which is approximately three times higher than that of cysteine (5.8% vs. 1.9%). This significantly increases the number of proteins suitable for covalent targeting, especially given that many human proteins lack ligandable cysteine residues. Moreover, it has been suggested that functional lysines have a lower probability of being replaced by mutation, as they often play a crucial role in catalysis by acting as bases or nucleophiles. Additionally, lysines are essential for maintaining the structural integrity of proteins and for regulating post-translational modifications (PTMs). Consequently, targeting lysine has garnered significant interest in recent years.
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 445 fragment molecules which can target lysine residue and can be used for fragment-based covalent drug discovery.
New drug development is a time-consuming and high-cost process. Drug repurposing (also called drug repositioning, reprofiling or re‑tasking) offers various advantages over developing an entirely new drug for a given indication. First, the risk of failure is lower. Second, the time frame for drug development can be reduced. Third, less investment is needed. Approved and clinical drugs, especially after phase I drugs, have identified bioactivities, good pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety, which are suitable for drug repurposing.
MCE Drug Repurposing Compound Library plus contains 6,142 approved and passed phase I clinical drugs, which have been completed extensive preclinical and clinical studies and have well-characterized bioactivities, safety and bioavailability properties.
MCE Drug Repurposing Compound Library plus, with more powerful screening capability, further complement MCE Drug Repurposing Compound Library (HY-L035) by adding some compounds with low solubility or stability (Part B) to this library. All those supplementary compounds are supplied in powder form.
An emerging drug design method is based on the secondary binding site effect, where small molecule drugs are designed to bind to secondary binding sites on target biomolecules rather than primary orthomorphic sites. Successful potential drugs (known as allosteric modulators) will be able to bind to allosteric sites and remotely alter (or modify) the conformation of the main orthosteric binding sites of biological targets. Allosteric modulators (AMs) are ligands of proteins that act through binding sites different from natural (orthosteric) ligand sites. AMs are relatively small, more lipophilic, and more rigid compounds. The binding efficacy of AMs with their targets is often slightly lower. AMs are divided into positive AMs (PAMs) and negative AMs (NAMs). AMs are ideal drug targets because they can fine-tune receptor activity while preserving the spatial and temporal signal transduction characteristics of endogenous ligands, resulting in fewer targeted side effects, improved subtype selectivity, and better promotion of biased signal transduction than normal ligands.
MCE designs a unique collection of 258 small allosteric modulators. It is a good tool to be used for research on metabolize, cancer and other diseases.
