Cysteine proteases (CPs), a key enzyme family regulating physiological metabolism and mediating pathological processes (such as abnormal bone resorption, tumour invasion, and pathogen infection), represent a core therapeutic target for developing specific inhibitors in disease intervention. Currently reported CP inhibitors primarily achieve their inhibitory function by precisely binding to CP active pockets (e.g., S1-S4 non-primed regions or S1'-S2' primed regions) and forming covalent/non-covalent interactions with the active site cysteine residues, providing clear structural references for the development of novel inhibitors.
This compound library, designed based on the core strategy of "similarity-based known active structures", contains over 200 cysteine protease inhibitors. Leveraging AI-driven molecular screening technology, it retains the critical pharmacological and shape features of reported CP inhibitors, serving as a specialized tool for efficiently discovering novel cysteine protease inhibitors.
Natural products are small-molecule compounds produced in nature, derived from animals, plants, and microorganisms, including both primary and secondary metabolites. With their structural diversity and favorable biological activities, natural products have long been an important source for drug discovery. Traditional natural product research has often focused on isolating single active components, whereas metabolomics emphasizes a holistic approach—comprehensively detecting all metabolites in a sample and systematically capturing both known and unknown constituents. Consequently, mass spectrometry‑based metabolomics databases have become a key technological support for screening known components and identifying unknown compounds from natural sources.
MCE Mass Spectrometry Natural Product Library contains 4,207 natural products, covering multiple structural classes, including sugars and glycosides, phenylpropanoids, quinones, flavonoids, terpenoids, etc. All compounds have undergone rigorous quality control by LC/MS and other analytical methods, and can serve as high‑purity reference standards for metabolite identification.
The rising prevalence of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant bacteria, combined with emerging resistance mechanisms and the limitations of existing antibacterial drugs, creates an urgent need for novel antibacterial agents. Antibacterial compound libraries serve as key tools to support antibacterial drug screening and development.
This library features structurally diverse compounds, including small-molecule scaffolds and natural product derivatives, and exhibits diverse antibacterial mechanisms of action. For example, these compounds exert antibacterial effects by disrupting bacterial cell structures, interfering with bacterial metabolic processes, and inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis. The derivation of scaffold structures enhances their activity against drug-resistant bacteria and their selectivity against different types of bacteria. This library can be used for the high-throughput screening of novel antibacterial drug candidates and the identification of potent compounds against drug-resistant and multidrug-resistant bacteria. Additionally, it provides a reference for compound structural modification, enabling further in-depth research on the structure-activity relationships(SARs) of antibacterial drugs. It can also be applied to the exploration of bacterial resistance mechanisms and reversal strategies, as well as the discovery of antibacterial molecules that inhibit efflux pumps and restore drug susceptibility.
The library contains 10855 structurally diverse drug-like compounds. Its core compound sources include analogs of known antifungal active moleculeswith a similarity score of ≥ 0.6. MCE has collected more than 1900 antibacterial molecules. All screened compounds conform to lead-like physicochemical properties, providing valuable support for the research and development of novel antibacterial drugs.
