Macrocycles are promising scaffolds for the design of novel RNA targeting molecules. This collection of macrocycles for RNA consists of very diverse, drug-like molecules which incorporate certain known RNA-recognition elements (e.g. nucleobase ring systems and analogs) distributed within macrocyclic rings or peripheral fragments. As macrocyclic molecules tend to be larger than traditional screening molecules, it is vital to carefully assess and control their physicochemical properties. All macrocycles have been tested for aqueous and DMSO solubility with cutoffs applied at 10 mM in DMSO and 50 µM in PBS (pH 7.4); PAMPA permeability has also been tested for representative set of macrocycles.

MCE adhesive aluminium foil plate seals are of strong adhesive that can reduce chance of well-to-well contamination and sample evaporation when applied to microplates. This aluminium foil seal is suitable for long-term storage of samples at -80°C. The high integrity sealing materials give the best protection against evaporation and contamination. The aluminium foil seal features excellent chemical resistance to DMSO and DNase- & RNase- free. MCE adhesive foil seal is pierceable, peelable and easy-to-use.

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.

Natural products are an attractive source with varied structures that exhibit potent biological activities, and desirable pharmacological profiles. The core scaffold of a natural product can also provide a biologically validated framework upon which to display diverse functional groups. Inspired by bioactive natural products, natural product-like compounds, occupying the same chemical space, are ideally suited to explore and to facilitate understanding of biological pathways.

MCE 10K Natural Product-like Compound Library consists of 10,000 natural product-like compounds. Each compound has scaffold of natural products or Tanimoto coefficient >0.6 with natural products. The natural-likeness scoring of these compounds is >-2. What’s more, compounds in the library are drug-like and readily available for re-supply, making it a powerful tool for new drug research and development. It can be widely applied in high-throughput screening (HTS) and high-content screening (HCS).

MCE Serum/Protein-Free Cell Freezing Medium (Low DMSO) is a complete ready-to-use cryopreservation medium.

MCE Protease Inhibitor Cocktail, Bacteria (EDTA-Free, 100× in DMSO) protects proteins from degradation by endogenous proteases released during protein extraction and purification.
