Peptides, composed of amino acids, serve as crucial building blocks for proteins and have gained significant attention in drug development over the past decade. The advancements in production, modification, and analytical technologies have led to a surge in the potential applications of peptides in medicine. Peptides offer a number of advantages over small molecule drugs, including: greater target specificity and efficacy, more predictable metabolic profiles, easier delivery to where they are needed in the body, and fewer side effects. Peptides are increasingly appearing in all branches of medicine as components of innovative drugs, imaging agents, diagnostic agents, and other complex drugs such as peptide-drug conjugates. To date, more than 80 peptide drugs have been approved to treat a variety of diseases, including microbial infections, obesity, anti-diabetes, and cancer, as well as to develop cell targeting platforms and improve cell penetration properties.

Polysaccharides are long chains of carbohydrate molecules, consisting of multiple smaller monosaccharides. Polysaccharides are found mainly in natural sources such as plants, microorganisms, algae and animals. Polysaccharides have a large number of active functional groups, different chemical compositions and different molecular weight ranges, which determines their diversity in nature and structure. Also in the field of medical research, polysaccharides act as a class of functional compounds and thus play a role. For example, nanocarrier construction, immunomodulation and vaccine development, new strategies for antitumor therapy, tissue regeneration engineering applications and disease diagnosis. With the advancement of glycomics and synthetic biotechnology, human beings are moving from “knowing polysaccharides” to “designing polysaccharides”, which will provide innovative solutions for materials science, precision medicine and sustainable development.

MCE offers 68 polysaccharides that can be used in biomedical studies.

Liposomes are spherical or multilayered spherical vesicles formed by the self-assembly of diacyl chain phospholipids (lipid bilayers) in aqueous solutions, which can be made from natural or synthetic phospholipids and exhibit good biocompatibility and low toxicity. They can serve as delivery carriers for various bioactive substances (such as drugs, proteins, nucleic acids, etc.) and are widely used in biomedical and chemical research. The main advantages of liposomes include 1) Protective effect: Their bilayer structure can protect encapsulated molecules from enzymatic degradation, oxidation, and other influences, extending stability and activity; 2) Active targeting: Surface modifications enable active targeting, enhancing the concentration of drugs or molecules in specific tissues or cells; 3) Customizability: The composition and structure of liposomes can be adjusted according to needs, such as altering phospholipid types or adding targeting ligands. These properties make liposomes highly valuable in developing novel drug delivery systems, serving as nucleic acid carriers for gene transfection, studying cellular uptake mechanisms and drug release kinetics, as well as developing functional food additives to improve the bioavailability of nutritional components.

MCE contains 191 liposome compounds, which is a good tool for lipidomic-related studies.

Techniques for reprogramming somatic cells create new opportunities for drug screening, disease modeling, artificial organ development, and cell therapy. The development of reprogramming techniques has grown exponentially since Yamanaka reprogrammed somatic cells to become induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) using four transcription factors, OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC in 2006. Despite the development of efficient reprogramming methods, most methods are inappropriate for clinical applications because they carry the risk of integrating exogenous genetic factors or use oncogenes. Alternative approaches, such as those based on miRNA, non-viral genes, non-integrative vectors, and small molecules, have been studied as possible solutions to the problems. Among these alternatives, small molecules are attractive options for clinical applications. Reprogramming using small molecules is inexpensive and easy to control in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. It offers a high level of cell permeability, ease of synthesis and standardization, and it is appropriate for mass-producing cells.

MCE Reprogramming Compound Library contains a unique collection of 3,086 compounds that act on reprogramming signaling pathways. These compounds are potential stimulators for reprogramming. This library is a useful tool for researching reprogramming and regenerative medicine.

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.

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.

In drug discovery and development (R&D) area, target binding and druggability optimization are core processes. Among these attributes, high solubility is critical for a compound to achieve druggability, as it directly impacts the progress of drug R&D. Superior solubility ensures the rapid dissolution and uniform distribution of drug molecules in vivo, thereby enhancing bioavailability and effectively mitigating issues such as suboptimal efficacy, increased dosage requirements, or exacerbated toxic and side effects arising from insufficient solubility.

From the perspective of medicinal chemistry, high-solubility drug fragments serve as high-quality "molecular building blocks". Based on these fragments, lead compounds with potential druggability can be rapidly screened out, which significantly shortens the drug R&D cycle and reduces R&D costs. Meanwhile, the high-solubility drug fragment library can provide diverse options for drug development in different therapeutic areas, offer solutions for the solubility defects of existing clinical drugs, and facilitate the development of novel, highly effective targeted drugs with higher bioavailability and better safety profiles.
