Focused On-demand Libraries - Receptor.AI Collaboration


Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation

This extensive focused library is tailor-made using the latest virtual screening and parameter assessment technology, operated by the Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This technique is more effective than traditional methods, offering compounds with improved activity, selectivity, and safety.


We pick out particular compounds from an extensive virtual database of more than 60 billion molecules. The preparation and shipment of these compounds are facilitated by Reaxense.


The library features a range of promising modulators, each detailed with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 physicochemical and drug-likeness parameters. Plus, each compound is presented with its ideal docking poses, affinity scores, and activity scores, ensuring a thorough insight.


We utilise our cutting-edge, exclusive workflow to develop focused libraries.

By deploying molecular simulations, our approach comprehensively covers a broad array of proteins, tracking their flexibility and dynamics individually and within complexes. Ensemble virtual screening is utilised to take into account conformational dynamics, identifying pivotal binding sites located within functional regions and at allosteric locations. This thorough exploration ensures that every conceivable mechanism of action is considered, aiming to identify new therapeutic targets and advance lead compounds throughout a vast spectrum of biological functions.


Our library distinguishes itself through several key aspects:


  • The Receptor.AI platform integrates all available data about the target protein, including past experiments, literature data, known ligands, structural information and more. This consolidated approach maximises the probability of prioritising highly relevant compounds.

  • The platform uses sophisticated molecular simulations to identify possible binding sites so that the compounds in the focused library are suitable for discovering allosteric inhibitors and the binders for cryptic pockets.

  • The platform integrates over 50 highly customisable AI models, which are thoroughly tested and validated on a multitude of commercial drug discovery programs and research projects. It is designed to be efficient, reliable and accurate. All this power is utilised when producing the focused libraries.

  • In addition to producing the focused libraries, Receptor.AI provides services and end-to-end solutions at every stage of preclinical drug discovery. The pricing model is success-based, which reduces your risks and leverages the mutual benefits of the project's success.

ALTERNATIVE UPACC:
O00483; A4D109; Q6FHN5

BACKGROUND:
The Cytochrome c oxidase subunit NDUFA4 is integral to the mitochondrial respiratory chain, specifically as part of complex IV. This enzyme complex is essential for the final step of oxidative phosphorylation, where electrons are transferred to molecular oxygen, generating water and an electrochemical gradient that powers ATP synthesis. Its function underscores the critical role of mitochondrial dynamics in cellular metabolism.

THERAPEUTIC SIGNIFICANCE:
Linked to the severe mitochondrial disorder, Mitochondrial complex IV deficiency, nuclear type 21, Cytochrome c oxidase subunit NDUFA4's dysfunction manifests in life-threatening symptoms like lactic acidosis and neurological deficits. Targeting the underlying mechanisms of this protein's action offers a promising avenue for developing treatments for mitochondrial diseases.
