kinase selectivity

According to reports, most known kinase inhibitors exert their effects through competitive binding in highly conserved ATP pockets. Although genetic techniques such as RNA interference can inactivate specific genes, most kinases are multi domain proteins, each of which has an independent function. Highly selective inhibitors have higher efficiency than non-selective inhibitors, and the selectivity to the target is at least 100 times higher. Therefore, ensuring the validation of targets with the most selective inhibitors is crucial for a more thorough understanding of the pharmacology of the kinase field. The Highly Selective Inhibitors Library contains 4,694 compounds, covering multiple targets and subtypes, such as GPCR protein family, Ion channel, multiple kinases, etc. The Highly Selective Inhibitors Library is an effective tool for screening different phenotypes

Agonistic drugs activate or stimulate their receptors, triggering responses that increase or decrease cell activity. The highly selective activators can act on specific biological or molecular targets, while non-selective activators may interfere with multiple targets or targets simultaneously. The highly selective activators reduce the likelihood of these non-specific effects by targeting specific targets, making research more precise and reliable. The Highly Selective Activators Library contains 1,479 compounds, covering multiple targets and subtypes, such as GPCR protein family, Ion channel, multiple kinases, etc. The Highly Selective Activators Library is an effective tool for screening different phenotypes.

MCE Targeted Diversity Library contains 2,324 compounds, covering more than 1000 targets and isoforms, such as GPCRs, Ion channel, variety of kinases, etc. 1-3 compounds with high potency and selectivity were carefully selected for each target and isoform. The bioactivity information of each compound has been clearly reported in the literatures. This library is a concise collection of small molecule compounds with comprehensive target coverage, which can be used for phenotypic screening at low cost.

Ion channel is a membrane-binding enzyme whose catalytic site is an ion conduction pore, which is opened and closed in response to specific environmental stimuli (voltage, ligand concentration, membrane tension, temperature, etc.). Ion channel provide pores for the passive diffusion of ions on the biofilm. Due to their high selectivity for ion, ion channel are generally classified as sodium (Na⁺ ), potassium (K⁺ ), calcium (Ca²⁺ ), chloride (Cl^- ), and non-specific cation channel. Ion channel is an important contributor to cell signal transduction and homeostasis. In addition to electrical signal transduction, ion channel also have many functions: regulating vascular smooth muscle contraction, maintaining normal cell volume, regulating glandular secretion, protein kinase activation, etc. Therefore, dysfunction of ion channel can lead to many diseases, and its mechanism research is particularly important.

MCE designs a unique collection of 1,129 small molecules related to ion channel, mainly targeting Na⁺ channel, K⁺ channel, Ca²⁺ channel, GABA receptor, iGluR, etc. It is an essential tool for research of cardiovascular diseases, Nervous system diseases and other diseases.
