neuronal

Neuronal Signaling is involved in the regulation of the mechanisms of the central nervous system (CNS) such as its structure, function, genetics and physiology as well as how this can be applied to understand diseases of the nervous system. Every information processing system in the CNS is composed of neurons and glia, neurons have evolved unique capabilities for intracellular signaling (communication within the cell) and intercellular signaling (communication between cells). G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), including 5-HT receptor, histamine receptor, opioid receptor, etc. are the largest class of sensory proteins and are important therapeutic targets in Neuronal Signaling. Besides, Notch signaling, such as β- and γ-secretase, also plays multiple roles in the development of the CNS including regulating neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation, survival, self-renewal and differentiation. GPCR dysfunction caused by receptor mutations and environmental challenges contributes to many neurological diseases. Notch signaling in neurons, glia, and NSCs is also involved in pathological changes that occur in disorders such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease and CNS tumors. Thus, targeting Neuronal Signaling, such as notch signaling and GPCRs, can be used as therapeutic interventions for several different CNS disorders.

MCE designs a unique collection of 2542 Neuronal Signaling-related compounds that act as a useful tool for the research of neuronal regulation and neuronal diseases.

Antibody inhibitors are compounds with the same activity as the original therapeutic antibodies, which can be used as positive controls for drug efficacy evaluation and other studies. Antibody inhibitors can also assist in verifying the functional activity of the target protein. These antibody inhibitors are active in vivo and can achieve certain physiological functions by blocking or neutralizing target proteins, such as CD20, HER2, EGFR, VEGFR, TNF-α, etc. In drug screening, antibody inhibitor-based screening can be carried out to identify active compounds targeting target proteins and target diseases.

MCE can provide 21 antibody inhibitors that can be used for drug development in cancer, immunity, infection and other hot research areas.

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 4227 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.

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 230 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.

Bioactive compounds are a general term for a class of substances that can cause certain biological effects in the body, which are the main source of small molecule drugs. These compounds generally penetrate cell membranes, act on specific target proteins in cells, regulate intracellular signaling pathways, and cause some changes in cell phenotype.

MCE owns a unique collection of 22835 compounds with confirmed biological activities and clear targets. These compounds include natural products, innovative compounds, approved compounds, and clinical compounds. This library is a useful tool for signal pathway research, drug discovery and drug repurposing, etc.

Bioactive Compound Library Plus, with more powerful screening capability, further complements Bioactive Compound Library (HY-L001) by adding some compounds with low solubility or solution stability (Part B) and some novel, rare or exclusive compounds (Part C) to this library. All those supplementary are supplied in powder form.

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 1785 compounds targeting a variety of neurotransmitter receptors. MCE Neurotransmitter Receptor Compound Library is a useful tool for neurological diseases drug discovery.
