MCE 5K Scaffold Library consists of 5,000 lead-like compounds. Each compound represents one unique scaffold. All compounds are compatible with Lipinski’s rule (Rule of 5) with multiple characteristics such as calculated good solubility (-3.2 < logP < 5), oral bioavailability (RotB <= 10), drug transportability (PSA < 120). Compounds contained within the library have been screened to remove any inappropriate chemical structures, avoiding “false hits”. The sufficient diverse of compound structure makes this library a powerful tool for drug screening.

MCE 50K Diversity Library consists of 50,000 lead-like compounds with multiple characteristics such as calculated good solubility (-3.2 < logP < 5), oral bioavailability (RotB <= 10), drug transportability (PSA < 120). These compounds were selected by dissimilarity search with an average Tanimoto Coefficient of 0.52. There are 36,857 unique scaffolds and each scaffold 1 to 7 compounds. What’s more, compounds with the same scaffold have as many functional groups as possible, which make abundant chemical spaces. This exceptionally diverse library is highly recommended for random screening against new as well as popular targets based its novel, diverse scaffolds, abundant chemical spaces and the convenience for subsequent modification.

In contrast to the high conservation of conventional orthosteric sites, allosteric sites possess structural characteristics of low conservation, high hydrophobicity, weak polarity, confined spatial geometry, and dynamic cryptic properties. There is a significant difference between their core structures and orthosteric pockets — allosteric pockets are mostly dynamic grooves formed by protein conformational changes, subunit interface clefts, or shallow depressions, rather than the rigid "keyhole" structure of orthosteric sites. With looser spatial constraints, allosteric sites have the advantages of high selectivity and low off-target risk, and have become an important direction in new drug discovery.

Based on the dynamic, hydrophobic, and narrow-long spatial characteristics of allosteric pockets, MCE has performed targeted modification and screening of fragments. The screening criteria strictly conform to the requirements of allosteric binding: molecular weight is controlled at 120–280 Da (to meet the core needs of small molecules in fragment libraries and high derivatization), hydrogen bond donors (HBD ≤ 2), hydrogen bond acceptors (HBA ≤ 3), polar surface area (PSA = 30–80 Ų), rotatable bonds (≤ 2), moderate hydrophobicity (cLogP = 1–3.5), no strongly ionizable groups, and both appropriate rigidity and conformational flexibility to adapt to the dynamic changes of the pocket. Meanwhile, combined with the results of principal moment of inertia (PMI) analysis, fragments with high 3D diversity were obtained. Such fragments have good shape complementarity with allosteric pockets, ensuring that the fragments can smoothly enter the allosteric pockets and form stable binding, while providing room for subsequent optimization and derivation.

This library contains 1,800 structurally diverse fragment molecules with excellent drug-like properties, suitable for allosteric drug development and the design and optimization of allosteric sites. It combines the

Owing to the high conservation of orthosteric sites, conventional orthosteric drugs frequently suffer from poor subtype selectivity, off-target toxicity, and drug resistance, severely restricting their clinical application. In contrast, allosteric sites feature low conservation, high hydrophobicity, weak polarity, confined spatial geometry, and dynamic cryptic properties. These characteristics endow allosteric modulators with distinct advantages including high selectivity, functional tunability, and improved safety, making allosteric therapy a key direction in modern drug discovery.

MCE has curated nearly 1,000 structurally disclosed clinical-stage allosteric modulators. By analyzing allosteric protein–ligand complex structures from the PDB database, we extracted core pharmacophores and privileged scaffolds. Adopting a rational design strategy of “scaffold derivation + allosteric physicochemical filtering”, we performed secondary screening on the derived compounds strictly following the optimal physicochemical principles for allosteric binding based on universal allosteric pocket properties: molecular weight 300–500 Da, HBD ≤ 3, HBA = 3–8, PSA = 70–120 Ų, rotatable bonds ≤ 6, highly rigid scaffolds, cLogP = 1.0–3.8, and no strongly ionizable groups. The selected compounds exhibit high rigidity and shape complementarity, making them well-suited for targeting shallow, dynamic, and hydrophobic-dominated allosteric pockets.

This allosteric modulator library contains 4,315 structurally diverse, lead-like compounds dedicated to allosteric drug development, allosteric site targeting, and allosteric modulator screening. It is suitable for kinases, GPCRs, and other important drug targets. All compounds are analogs of clinical-stage allosteric modulators with a similarity score > 0.6, combining excellent druggability and allosteric binding potential. It provides a highly efficient tool for early-stage allosteric drug discovery.

Small molecule covalent inhibitors, or irreversible inhibitors, are a type of inhibitors that exert their biological functions by irreversibly binding to target through covalent bonds. Compared with non-covalent inhibitors, covalent inhibitors have obvious advantages in bioactivity, such that covalent warheads can target rare residues of a particular target protein, thus leading to the development of highly selective inhibitors and achieving a more complete and continued target occupancy in living systems. In recent years, the distinct strengths of covalent inhibitors in overcoming drug resistance had been recognized. However, toxicity can be a real challenge related to this class of therapeutics due to their potential for off-target reactivity and has led to these drugs being disfavored as a drug class. The drug design and optimization of covalent inhibitors has become a hot spot in drug discovery.

MCE Lead-like Covalent Screening Library offers a valuable resource of 1,049 lead-like compounds with commonly used covalent warheads. These warheads, such as acrylamide, activated terminal alkyne, acyloxymethyl ketone, and boronic acid, are capable of reacting with specific amino acid residues, including cysteine, lysine, serine, and histidine. The inclusion of these reactive warheads in the library allows researchers to explore the potential of covalent inhibition, a powerful approach in drug discovery.

On May 15, 2024, "Dimerization and antidepressant recognition at noradrenaline transporter" was published online by Nature. The research findings were an effort from Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences. This study unraveled the important neural system target - the noradrenaline transporter (NET), obtaining the binding modes of human NET homodimers with the natural substrate norepinephrine (NE) and six selective antidepressants. It laid an important theoretical foundation for understanding the physiological regulation mechanisms of NET and other monoamine transporters.

The Norepinephrine Transporter (NET) Compound Library is obtained by computer-aided virtual screening based on the HY-L901 compound library . The specific screening process includes molecular docking screening, key pharmacophore screening, and CNS-MPO screening, which can be used for new drug discovery targeting the noradrenaline transporter.

Molecular Glue Virtual Library is constructed using generative AI technology, integrating the structural features, activity data of known molecular glues, and interaction information of ternary complexes (target protein-E3-molecular glue). Endowed with structural novelty, drug-likeness, diversity and synthesizability, it is applicable to molecular glue-based AI drug screening and large-scale virtual screening.

MCE builds this library based on high-quality molecular building blocks by virtue of robust computing power, coupled with rigorous reaction rules and optimized compound generation strategies. To ensure library quality, molecules with high synthetic difficulty, poor drug-likeness, PAINS and other undesirable molecules are excluded first. Subsequently, scaffold-based compound analysis is performed to screen drug-like diverse molecules for synthesizability evaluation; those with excessively high synthetic difficulty are removed, ultimately forming a large-scale molecular glue virtual library with structural diversity, synthesizability and drug-likeness.

Compounds in the library can be synthesized in only 1-2 chemical reaction steps. With MCE’s experienced chemical synthesis team, custom synthesis of different scales from milligram to kilogram can be easily achieved to meet diverse customer needs.
