Lung

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 1,856 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.

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF), also known as diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, is a very common end-stage manifestation of several diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), pulmonary hypertension, and scleroderma, characterised by excessive matrix deposition and destruction of the lung architecture, finally leading to respiratory insufficiency. PF has become a global disease with significantly increased incidence rate, and the most common form of pulmonary fibrosis is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Lung fibrosis is a complex disease, a multitude of signal factors and signaling pathways is disrupted in this complex disease, such as TGF-β, Wnt, VEGF and PI3K–Akt. MCE offers a unique collection of 1,692 compounds with identified and potential anti-pulmonary fibrosis activity. MCE Anti-Pulmonary Fibrosis Compound Library is a useful tool for anti-pulmonary fibrosis drugs screening and other related research.

Fibrosis is a kind of repair response to long-term tissue damage, which is mainly manifested by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) and scar formation. Myofibroblasts are the main generating cells of extracellular matrix, and their activation process is related to various pathological mechanisms including Oxidative stress, chronic inflammation and cytokine secretion. Fibrosis can occur in many organs, such as kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, etc. Continuous fibrosis can lead to the destruction of the normal structure of tissues and organs, and if not controlled in time, may cause organ failure or even life-threatening.

MCE contains 852 compounds targeting ant-fibrosis targets such as TGF-β, PI3K, Wnt, MMP, etc. These compounds have clear or potential anti-fibrosis activity and can be used for mechanism research and drug screening of fibrosis diseases.

Tuberculosis (TB), usually caused by bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis), is an infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization (WHO), 10 million people suffer from tuberculosis every year, and 1.5 million people die of tuberculosis every year, which makes tuberculosis the number one killer of infectious diseases.

Tuberculosis can be cured through the standard 6-month course of treatment of four kinds of antibiotics. Common drugs include rifampicin and isoniazid. In some cases, TB bacteria do not respond to standard drugs, that is, patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis. The treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis takes longer and is more complex. In the face of the resurgence of tuberculosis in the world and the rapid emergence of multi drug resistant tuberculosis, it is very important to develop new anti-tuberculosis drugs or new clinical treatment schemes for existing anti mycobacterium drugs.

MCE supplies a unique collection of 95 compounds with clear anti-tuberculosis activity. MCE Anti-tuberculosis Compound Library is a useful tool for anti-tuberculosis related research and anti-tuberculosis drug development
