Asinex Macrocycles for RNA Library

Macrocycles are promising scaffolds for the design of novel RNA targeting molecules. This collection of macrocycles for RNA consists of very diverse, drug-like molecules which incorporate certain known RNA-recognition elements (e.g. nucleobase ring systems and analogs) distributed within macrocyclic rings or peripheral fragments. As macrocyclic molecules tend to be larger than traditional screening molecules, it is vital to carefully assess and control their physicochemical properties. All macrocycles have been tested for aqueous and DMSO solubility with cutoffs applied at 10 mM in DMSO and 50 µM in PBS (pH 7.4); PAMPA permeability has also been tested for representative set of macrocycles.
