Cardio-metabolic biomarkers

Energy metabolism is the most fundamental biochemical process in living organisms, encompassing glycolysis, the TCA cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, the pentose phosphate pathway, and fatty acid oxidation. These core pathways directly regulate cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Dysregulation of energy metabolism is closely linked to major diseases including cancer, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and ischemia‑reperfusion injury. Targeting these metabolic pathways has become a frontier in drug discovery and mechanistic research.

The MCE Energy Metabolite Compound Library features 89 structurally defined small‑molecule compounds. It covers energy substrates, pathway intermediates, coenzymes and redox carriers, nucleotide derivatives, and microenvironmental modulators. This library is applicable to research areas including tumor metabolism, insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, neuroprotection, and cardiometabolic diseases, providing a high‑quality tool for mechanistic studies, biomarker discovery, and high‑throughput drug screening.
