173 Results for "Target ability" in MCE Product Catalog:
The most prominent mechanism of action of kinase inhibitors is their competition with ATP by binding to the hinge region of the kinase protein. Once the kinase is blocked by an inhibitor, it loses the ability to transfer phosphate groups from ATP to other molecules, resulting in the loss of kinase activity.
The hinge-binding region of kinase inhibitors mimics the interaction pattern between the ATP nucleobase and the kinase. MCE extracted thousands of kinase inhibitors from the ChEMBL database and isolated their molecular fragments. In certain cases, the amino and amide groups on the molecular fragments are crucial for binding in the hinge region. Therefore, we enhanced the diversity of the collected results by adding these two groups to unoccupied positions on the ring system. Subsequently, the fragments were assessed for their hinge region binding ability via docking at distinct kinases, we also applied pharmacophore constraints to ensure interactions with key amino acids in the kinase hinge region, ultimately obtaining kinase-related molecular fragments.
MCE provides over 12,373 kinase fragment molecules that meet the above requirements and are available off the shelf, serving as an effective tool for screening and developing drugs targeting kinases.
Viruses are much simpler organisms than bacteria, and they are made from protein substances and nucleic acid. Despite the fact that the exact mechanism of infection is extremely specific to each type of virus, the general scheme of infection can be represented in the following manner: A virus is absorbed at the surface of a host cell and then permeates through the membrane, where it releases nucleic acid from its protein protection. Then the viral nucleic acid begins to replicate, and transcription of the viral genome takes place either in the cytoplasm, or in the nucleus of the host cell. As a result of these events, a large amount of viral nucleic acid and protein are made to make new generations of virions. Therefore, one mechanism of action of antiviral drugs is to interfere with the ability of a virus to get into a target cell. A second mechanism of action is to target the processes that synthesize virus components after a virus invades a cell, such as nucleotide or nucleoside analogs.
MCE designs a unique collection of 1,237 anti-virus compounds that target several viruses, including SARS-CoV, HBV, HCV, HIV, HSV and Influenza Virus. It’s an effective tool for anti-virus drug discovery.
ASINEX has elaborated a library of diverse macrocycles using an effective tool box of synthetic methods. The resulting scaffolds are novel, tremendously diverse, medchem-relevant, macrocyclic frameworks.
Macrocyles tend to be larger than traditional screening molecules which make them perfect discovery tools for targets with shallow or extended binding sites. At the same time, their unique character based on restricted flexibility and ability to form intra-molecular hydrogen bonds allows for design approaches effectively optimizing properties such asaqueous solubility and membrane permeability. Many of these macrocycles have been tested for aqueous and DMSO solubility with cut-offs applied at 10 mM in DMSO and 50 µM in PBS (pH 7.4) followed by PAMPA permeability assay.
