Two dimensional chromatography

Designed to maximize efficiency in hit discovery and optimization, this compound library is built on a foundation of diverse Bemis-Murcko scaffolds, with each scaffold is represented by two specifically derived molecules. This strategy ensures broad chemical space through scaffold diversity while enabling preliminary functional group exploration. This approach provides early structure-activity relationship (SAR) insights for every scaffold, making it a valuable tool for accelerating drug discovery.

Fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) is well suited for discovering both drug leads and chemical probes of protein function. 3-dimensionality (3D) diversity is pivotal because the molecular shape is one of the most important factors in molecular recognition by a biomolecule. There is a developing appreciation that 3D fragments could offer opportunities that are not provided by 2D fragments.

MCE 3D Diverse Fragment Library consists of 5,400 non-flat fragment-like molecules (average Fsp3 value 0.58). More than 4,700 fragment compounds contain at least one chiral center in the structure. The key concepts that underlie the library design were 3D shape, structural diversity, reactive functionality and fragment-like. This 3D Diverse Fragment Library brings higher fragment hit optimization and increases the likelihood to find innovative hits in FBDD.

Ionizable lipids are a class of specialized, functional lipid molecules with pH-sensitive charge characteristics. They are primarily divided into two major categories: ionizable cationic lipids and ionizable anionic lipids, though the term typically specifies ionizable cationic lipids within the biomedical field. Structurally, these lipids consist of an ionizable hydrophilic headgroup, a biodegradable linker, and hydrophobic tails. Their primary application is serving as the key delivery vehicle in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to encapsulate negatively charged nucleic acid macromolecules, such as mRNA vaccines, siRNA therapeutics, and CRISPR gene-editing components. In a physiological, neutral environment, they remain electrically neutral to minimize systemic toxicity and prolong circulation time. Upon entering the acidic microenvironment of cellular endosomes, however, they undergo protonation to become positively charged, thereby inducing membrane fusion and enabling the highly efficient intracellular release of the nucleic acid cargo. Consequently, they serve as the technological cornerstone for bringing nucleic acid therapies into clinical application.

To accelerate the translational process of cutting-edge nucleic acid drugs, MCE has meticulously constructed an ionizable lipid compound library containing 95 high-performance molecules, aiming to provide researchers and pharmaceutical professionals with a high-throughput, multi-dimensional lipid screening platform.

MCE 18 stands for Medicinal Chemistry Evolution 2018. This metric was established based on structural data of 28,161 patented lead molecules, 1,370 marketed innovative drugs, and nearly 30,000 investigational candidates from preclinical to Phase III stages across 23 major global pharmaceutical companies from 1950 to 2018. After scaffold clustering analysis, a scoring model was constructed by integrating five three dimensional scaffold characteristics, including aromatic rings (AR), non aromatic heterocycles (NAR), chiral centers (CHIRAL), spirocycles (SPIRO), and the sp³ carbon ratio in cyclic and acyclic moieties, enabling quantitative assessment of molecular scaffold novelty and three dimensional complexity.

According to the score distribution of patented molecules, the top 25% of the original patent dataset was defined as the high novelty region. MCE 18 high scoring compounds selected based on this criterion can effectively avoid scaffold patent conflicts and intellectual property risks from the source. Molecules in this range typically feature a high sp³ carbon ratio, abundant chiral centers, spirocycles, and fused heterocycles with prominent three dimensional conformations. Their spatial properties allow precise matching to complex non traditional undruggable target pockets such as PPI interfaces and allosteric sites, making them ideal structural types for early stage screening of First in class drugs.

MCE‑18 Novelty Focused drug‑Like library strictly selects molecules from the aforementioned high scoring range, containing more than 10,000 premium drug like molecules with highly diverse scaffolds and rich 3D diversity. It can be used for high throughput screening of well established targets such as kinases, GPCRs, and proteases, and is especially suitable for hit identification in allosteric modulation, protein–protein interactions, and various undruggable orphan targets, fully supporting early stage drug discovery for cutting edge innovat

Linkers play a necessary role in the physicochemical properties and biological activity of the bifunctional molecule. These linkers are not a simply connection of two functional modules together, but its design and nature directly affect the stability, activity, selectivity, pharmacokinetics, and ultimately the therapeutic efficacy of the entire molecule. The length of the linker determines the extent of interaction between the two ligands and thus the maximum activity of the PROTAC molecule.

MCE has collected 0 PROTAC Linkers can be used for the design and synthesis of bifunctional molecules.

RNA is crucial for the regulation of numerous cellular processes and functions. With the in-depth study of disease mechanisms, processes such as RNA expression, splicing, translation, and stability regulation have become new targets for disease intervention. RNA has provided new therapeutic modalities for metabolic diseases, genetic disorders, and cancer patients, resulting in several innovative drugs.

MCE R&D team collected small molecules targeting RNA from the PDB, R-BIND, ROBIN, and internal database as the positive dataset, and non-targeting RNA small molecules from ROBIN as the negative dataset. Based on the GeminiMol pre-trained model, we encoded the molecules and calculated over 1700 molecular descriptors using Mordred as inputs for the model. Subsequently, we employed 13 deep learning models to learn from the data. All of which yielded good training results, with AUROCs greater than 0.75. Ultimately, we selected the Finetune model to screen HY-L901P, which exhibited the best classification performance, achieving an AUROC of 0.82 and a prediction accuracy of 0.76. We then applied filtering based on StaR rules (with at least two of the following properties: cLogP ≥ 1.5, Molar Refractivity ≥ 4, Relative Polar Surface Area ≤ 0.3) to obtain a library containing approximately 5,000 small molecule compounds targeting RNA. This library serves as a valuable tool for screening small molecules that interact with RNA.

Glycolysis is a series of metabolic processes by which one molecule of glucose is catabolized to two molecules of pyruvate with a net gain of two ATP. Glycolysis takes place in 10 steps and catalyzed by a series of enzyme, such as hexokinase, Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, Phosphofructokinase, etc. Glycolysis is used by all cells in the body for energy generation.

Most cancer cells exhibit increased glycolysis and use this metabolic pathway for generation of ATP as a main source of their energy supply. This phenomenon is known as the Warburg effect and is considered as one of the most fundamental metabolic alterations during malignant transformation. Because increased aerobic glycolysis is commonly seen in a wide spectrum of human cancers, development of novel glycolytic inhibitors as a new class of anticancer agents is likely to have broad therapeutic applications.

MCE provides a unique collection of 1,258 glycolysis compounds that mainly target hexokinase, glucokinase, enolase, pyruvate kinase, PDHK, etc. MCE Glycolysis Compound Library is a useful tool for glucose metabolism research and anti-cancer drug discovery.

Protein phosphorylation is a key post-translational modification underlying the regulation of many cellular processes. Phosphatases and kinases contribute to the regulation of protein phosphorylation homeostasis in the cell. This reversible regulation of protein phosphorylation is critical for the proper control of a wide range of cellular activities, including cell cycle, proliferation and differentiation, metabolism, cell-cell interactions, etc.

Protein phosphatases have evolved in separate families that are structurally and mechanistically distinct. Based on substrate specificity and functional diversity, protein phosphatases are classified into two superfamilies: Protein serine/threonine phosphatases and Protein tyrosine phosphatases. Ser/Thr phosphatases are metalloenzymes belonging to two major gene families termed PPP (phosphoprotein phosphatase) and PPM (metal-dependent protein phosphatases), whereas protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) belong to distinct classes of enzymes that utilize a phospho-cysteine enzyme intermediate as a part of their catalytic action.

MCE supplies a unique collection of 175 phosphatase inhibitors that mainly targeting protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and serine/threonine-specific protein phosphatases. MCE Phosphatase Inhibitor Library is a useful tool for phosphatase drug discovery and related research.

Different functional groups confer unique chemical properties and reactivity characteristics to compounds. The presence of these functional groups not only affects the physical properties of the compounds, such as solubility and boiling point, but also determines their chemical reactivity and potential applications in chemical synthesis.

Covalent ligands rely on reactive groups (“warheads”), and new warheads are key to expanding the scope of covalent modalities. 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 4,900 multifunctional covalent fragments.

GABA receptors are a class of receptors that respond to the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate central nervous system. There are two classes of GABA receptors: GABAA and GABAB. GABAA receptors are ligand-gated ion channels (also known as ionotropic receptors), whereas GABAB receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (also known asmetabotropic receptors). GABA receptors are significant drug targets in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders such as epilepsy, insomnia, and anxiety, as well as in anesthesia in surgical operations.

MCE offers a unique collection of 209 GABA receptors inhibitors and activators, which is an efficient tool for neuropsychiatric disorders drugs discovery.

PROTACs (Proteolysis-targeting chimeras) is a class of molecules that utilize ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) to ubiquitinate and degrade target proteins. The PROTACs molecule consists of two ligands joined by a linker. The one-to-one interaction between PROTACs and target proteins determines the high efficiency of PROTACs, making it a potential molecule for targeted protein degradation (TPD) therapy.

MCE supplies a unique collection of 515 PROTACs that effectively degrade target proteins with more powerful screening capability. MCE PROTAC Library is a useful tool for signal pathway research, protein degradation therapy research, drug discovery and drug repurposing, etc.

Dipeptide compounds have attracted extensive attention in drug discovery and life science research due to their simple structures, ease of modification, and favorable biocompatibility. As small peptides composed of two amino acids, dipeptides exhibit diverse biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, and immunomodulatory effects, showing significant application potential in metabolic disorders, neurological diseases, and cancer research. Compared with traditional small molecules, dipeptide compounds possess favorable target-binding properties and high structural plasticity, making them valuable tools for drug screening and mechanism studies.

The MCE Dipeptide Compound Library contains 79 dipeptide compounds and can be applied to peptide drug discovery and development.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are members of a therapeutic drug class with potent anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activity, and are among the most widely used drugs worldwide. The most prominent NSAIDs are aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen.

The main mechanism of action of NSAIDs is the inhibition of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), based on which NSAIDs can be classified into two types: non-selective and COX-2 selective. Most NSAIDs are non-selective and inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2 activity.

MCE offers a unique collection of 627 non-steroidal compounds with identified anti-inflammatory activity. MCE non-steroidal anti-inflammatory library is a useful tool for the study of anti-inflammatory drugs and pharmacology.

A membrane protein is a protein molecule that is attached to or associated with the membrane of a cell or an organelle. Membrane proteins can be classified into two groups based on how the protein is associated with the membrane: integral membrane proteins and peripheral membrane proteins. In humans, about 30% genome encodes membrane proteins. Membrane proteins perform a variety of functions vital to the survival of organisms, for example, signal transduction, molecules or ion transportation, enzymatic catalysis, and intercellular communication. Membrane proteins also play important roles in drug discovery. As reported, more than 60% of current drug targets are membrane proteins.

MCE supplies a unique collection of 7,678 compounds targeting a variety of membrane proteins. MCE Membrane Protein-targeted Compound Library can be used for membrane protein-focused screening and drug discovery.

Fragment-based drug development (FBDD) is a strategy for drug discovery that can be applied both academically and commercially to enhance the identification of some non-drug targets. Fragment-based drug development has identified low molecular weight molecules (<300 Da) capable of binding to related macromolecules. These fragments can cover a wide chemical space and are easy to optimize later. Currently, several fragment-based drugs have entered clinical trials, of which two drugs, Vemurafenib and Venetoclax, have been approved for marketing.

Based on Tanimoto coefficient, MCE uses similarity algorithm to carefully select 2,253 high-structurally diverse 'RO3' compliant fragment molecules from large-scale fragment molecules, which can be applied to fragment based drug development.

MCE-18 stands for Medicinal Chemistry Evolution 2018, which was first published in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry in 2019 for assessing molecular novelty and three-dimensional complexity. Developed based on Clarivate global pharmaceutical patent database, this descriptor was constructed via big-data analysis covering 28,161 patented lead compounds, 1,370 approved drugs and nearly 30,000 preclinical-to-phase III drug candidates from 23 top pharmaceutical companies worldwide between 1950 and 2018, followed by structural clustering and removal of redundant outdated scaffolds for data denoising. Its scoring system integrates five core structural features including aromatic ring (AR), aliphatic heterocycle (NAR), chiral center (CHIRAL), spiro atom (SPIRO), cyclic and acyclic sp³ carbon ratio together with a quadratic topological correction factor. Breaking the limitations of the single Fsp³ parameter, MCE-18 effectively distinguishes conventional flat aromatic scaffolds from modern 3D-enriched novel chemotypes, overcoming typical drawbacks of traditional compound libraries such as scaffold redundancy, low screening hit rates and poor compatibility with allosteric and PPI-related difficult targets.

This library contains over 37,000 structurally diverse compounds with favorable overall drug-likeness, suitable for high-throughput screening against canonical targets including kinases, GPCRs and proteases as well as challenging allosteric and PPI targets.

Mitochondrial autophagy refers to the selective encapsulation and degradation of damaged mitochondria by cells through the autophagy mechanism, thereby maintaining mitochondrial and cellular homeostasis. The concept of mitochondrial autophagy has received extensive attention since it was proposed. Current studies have shown that the mechanisms of mitochondrial autophagy can generally be divided into two categories: Ubiquitin-dependent pathways and Ub-independent pathways. In addition, mitochondrial autophagy is a research hotspot related to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, metabolic diseases and other clinical diseases. Therefore, high-throughput screening based on mitochondrial autophagy can effectively screen out compounds that are closely related to the occurrence of diseases and analyze their mechanisms.

MCE can provide a library of 601 mitophagy compounds, which can be used for drug development and mechanism research in cancer, immunity, infection and other hot research fields.

Fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) is well suited for discovering both drug leads and chemical probes of protein function; it can cover broad swaths of chemical space and allows the use of creative chemistry. Fragment-based drug discovery is well-established in industry and has resulted in a variety of drugs entering clinical trials, with two, vemurafenib and venetoclax, already approved. FBDD also has key attractions for academia. Notably, it is able to tackle difficult or novel targets for which no chemical matter may be found in existing HTS collections.

MCE designs a unique collection of 23,342 fragment compounds, all of which obey a heuristic rule called the “Rule of Three (RO3) ”, in which molecular weight ≤300 Da, the number of hydrogen bond donors (H-donors) ≤3, the number of hydrogen bond acceptors (H-acceptors) is ≤3 and cLogP is ≤3. This library is an important source of lead-like drugs.

Protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) are key signaling molecules and important drug targets. Two classes of PTKs are present in cells: the transmembrane receptor PTKs (RTKs) and the nonreceptor PTKs. The RTK family includes the receptors for insulin and for many growth factors, such as EGFR, FGFR, PDGFR, VEGFR, and NGFR. RTKs are transmembrane glycoproteins that are activated by the binding of their ligands, and they transduce the extracellular signal to the cytoplasm by phosphorylating tyrosine residues on the receptors themselves (autophosphorylation) and on downstream signaling proteins. Their principal functions of PTKs involve the regulation of multicellular aspects of the organism. Cell to cell signals concerning growth, differentiation, adhesion, motility, and death are frequently transmitted through tyrosine kinases. In humans, tyrosine kinases have been demonstrated to play significant roles in the development of many disease states, including diabetes and cancers.

MCE designs a unique collection of 1,578 compounds that act as a useful tool for PTKs-related drug screening and disease research.

The majority of hypertensive patients have primary (or essential) hypertension, that is, hypertension in which secondary causes are not present. Management aims to control arterial pressure, prevent end-organ damage (cerebrovascular, cardiovascular, and renal), and reduce the risk of premature death.

Antihypertensive drugs may be divided into two broad groups, the first group being those which directly or indirectly block the renin–angiotensin system (RAS), for example, ACEIs, angiotensin receptor antagonists (ARAs), direct renin inhibitors (DRIs), and to a lesser extent β-blockers. The second group of drugs works by increasing water and sodium excretion, thereby reducing intravascular volume, or by causing vasodilatation through non-RAS pathways, for example, diuretics and calcium channel blockers (CCBs).

MCE offers a unique collection of 893 compounds with identified and potential antihypertensive activity. MCE Antihypertensive Compound Library is critical for antihypertensive drug discovery and development.

The occurrence of diseases is often associated with multiple targets and pathways, and the factors of disease formation are complex and diverse, so the development of more powerful drugs is needed. According to statistics, 21% of the FDA-approved drugs in 2015-2017 were multi-target compounds. Multi-target compounds refer to a drug targeting multiple disease-related targets or multiple subtypes of a target. Multi-target compounds can be applied to drug screening or targeted ligand design. Because the targets of such compounds are diverse and clear, they have the characteristics of saving time and drug cost during the mechanism research of new drug research and development. In addition, due to the diversity of drug targets, multiple strategies can be applied to pharmacological studies.

MCE supplies a unique collection of 6,758 multi-target compounds that targets two or more different targets or different subtypes of the same target. MCE Multi-Target Compound Library can be used for target protein ligand screening or drug development.

Obesity is widely recognized as the largest and fastest growing public health problem and is associated with numerous chronic disorders including osteoarthritis, obstructive sleep apnea, gallstones, fatty liver disease, reproductive and gastrointestinal cancers, dyslipidemia, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, heart failure, coronary artery disease, stroke, etc. Although obesity has long been associated with serious health issues, it has only recently been regarded as a disease in the sense of being a specific target for medical therapy. Obesity may be viewed as the dysregulation of two physiological functions, appetite regulation and energy metabolism, which combine to create disordered energy balance. Consequently, developing obesity treatments that target novel pathways is a growing focus for both biopharmaceutical industries.

MCE Anti-Obesity Compound Library owns a unique collection of 3,558 compounds, which mainly target signaling pathway of controlling appetite, fatty acid metabolism and energy expenditure, etc. This library is a useful tool for discovery anti-obesity drugs.

Cosmetics are complex mixtures formulated through the rational blending and processing of various natural, synthetic, or extracted raw materials. The ingredients used in cosmetics are diverse in type and functionality. Based on their properties and applications, cosmetic ingredients can generally be classified into two main categories: base materials and auxiliary ingredients. The former constitutes the primary component of cosmetics, accounting for a significant proportion in formulations and serving as the key functional substances. Auxiliary ingredients, on the other hand, play roles in shaping the product, ensuring stability, or imparting color, fragrance, and other specific characteristics.Establishing a systematic ingredient database is of great significance for cosmetic research and development. By analyzing the physicochemical properties (such as oil-water partition coefficients and molecular weight distribution), biological activity mechanisms (such as antioxidant pathways and cellular signaling regulation), and compatibility of ingredients, the database can provide precise guidance for formulation design. This approach helps shorten the development cycle of cosmetic/skincare products and reduces trial-and-error costs.

MCE offers 622 types of cosmetic ingredient compounds, including antioxidants, humectants, emulsifiers, film-forming agents, and more.

Neurotransmitter (NT) receptors, also known as neuroreceptors, are a broadly diverse group of membrane proteins that bind neurotransmitters for neuronal signaling. There are two major types of neurotransmitter receptors: ionotropic and metabotropic. Ionotropic receptors are ligand-gated ion channels, meaning that the receptor protein includes both a neurotransmitter binding site and an ion channel. The binding of a neurotransmitter molecule (the ligand) to the binding site induces a conformational change in the receptor structure, which opens, or gates, the ion channel. The term “metabotropic receptors” is typically used to refer to transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptors. Metabotropic receptors trigger second messenger-mediated effects within cells after neurotransmitter binding.

In some neurological diseases, the neurotransmitter receptor itself appears to be the target of the disease process. Many neuroactive drugs act by modifying neurotransmitter receptors. A better understanding of neurotransmitter receptor changes in disease may lead to improvements in therapy.

MCE designs a unique collection of 2,495 compounds targeting a variety of neurotransmitter receptors. MCE Neurotransmitter Receptor Compound Library is a useful tool for neurological diseases drug discovery.

Liver cancer is one of the leading malignancies which occupies the second position in cancer deaths worldwide, becoming serious threat to human health. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), also known as hepatoma is the most common type accounting for approximately 90% of all liver cancers.

Current evidence indicates that during hepatocarcinogenesis, two main pathogenic mechanisms prevail: (1) cirrhosis associated with hepatic regeneration after tissue damage caused by hepatitis infection, toxins or metabolic influences, and (2) mutations occurring in single or multiple oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Both mechanisms have been linked with alterations in several important cellular signaling pathways. These include the RAF/MEK/ERK pathway, PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, WNT/b-catenin pathway, insulin-like growth factor pathway, c-MET/HGFR pathway , etc.

MCE offers a unique collection of 2,838 compounds with identified and potential anti-liver cancer activity. MCE anti-liver cancer compound library is a useful tool for anti-liver cancer drugs screening and other related research.

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 12,412 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.

Bile acids are a class of amphiphilic molecules derived from the metabolic breakdown of cholesterol, primarily synthesized in the liver, and play a crucial role in the intestines. Based on their structural characteristics, bile acids are mainly divided into two categories: free bile acids (including Cholic acid, Deoxycholic acid, Chenodeoxycholic acid) and conjugated bile acids (including Glycocholic acid, Glycochenodeoxycholic acid, Taurocholic acid, etc.). Bile acids play a significant role in the pathophysiological research of liver and gastrointestinal diseases and are closely associated with the occurrence of metabolic diseases such as obesity, type II diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and atherosclerosis. Bile acids maintain metabolic balance within the body by regulating sugar metabolism, lipid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism, and they influence the activity of metabolism-related enzymes and transporters. In addition, Bile acids can also be used to construct a bile acid metabolism research platform, which helps to delve into the metabolic pathways and dynamic changes of bile acids in living organisms and aids in identifying new biomarkers for certain diseases.

MCE included 61 bile acids, including Cholic acid, Deoxycholic acid, Glycocholic acid, etc., which are effective tools for the study of liver and gallbladder diseases.

Aging is a complex biological process characterized by functional decline of tissues and organs, structural degeneration, and reduced adaptability and resistance, all of which contribute to an increase in morbidity and mortality caused by multiple chronic diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, cancer, and diabetes. Many theories, which fall into two main categories: programmed and error theories, have been proposed to explain the process of aging, but neither of them appears to be fully satisfactory. The programmed theories imply that aging relies on specific gene regulation, and the error theories emphasize the internal and environmental damages accumulated to living organisms. The damage theories proposed the nine hallmarks that were generally considered to contribute to the aging process: genomic instability, telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, loss of proteostasis, deregulated nutrient-sensing, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion, and altered intercellular communication.

MCE Anti-Aging Compound Library contains 7,297 compounds, mainly targeting Sirtuin, mTOR, IGF-1R, AMPK, p53, Telomerase, Mitophagy, Mitochondrial Metabolism, COX, Cytochrome P450, Oxidase, etc. This library is a useful tool for anti-aging research.

Lung cancer is a major global health problem, as it is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Lung cancer is divided into two categories: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for about 85 percent of lung cancers.

As with all cancers, lung cancer may be treated with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy or a combination thereof. Targeted therapy is one of the most exciting developments in lung cancer medicine, especially for NSCLC. Extensive genomic characterization of NSCLC has led to the identification of molecular subtypes of NSCLC that are oncogene addicted and exquisitely sensitive to targeted therapies. These include activating mutations in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and BRAF or echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4)-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusions and ROS1 receptor tyrosine kinase fusions. These are important targets for target therapy.

MCE offers a unique collection of 2,886 compounds with identified and potential anti-lung cancer activity. These compounds target lung cancer’s major targets and signaling pathways. MCE anti-lung cancer compound library is a useful tool for anti-lung cancer drugs screening and other related research.
