Focused On-demand Libraries - Receptor.AI Collaboration


Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation

The focused library is created on demand with the latest virtual screening and parameter assessment technology, supported by the Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This method is more effective than traditional methods and results in higher-quality compounds with better activity, selectivity, and safety.


The compounds are cherry-picked from the vast virtual chemical space of over 60B molecules. The synthesis and delivery of compounds is facilitated by Reaxense.


In the library, a selection of top modulators is provided, each marked with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 parameters related to physicochemical properties and drug-likeness. Also, every compound comes with its best docking poses, affinity scores, and activity scores, providing a comprehensive overview.


We employ our advanced, specialised process to create targeted libraries for ion channels.

The method involves in-depth molecular simulations of the ion channel in its native membrane environment, including its open, closed, and inactivated states, along with ensemble virtual screening that focuses on conformational mobility for each state. Tentative binding pockets are identified inside the pore, in the gating area, and at allosteric sites to address every conceivable mechanism of action.


Key features that set our library apart include:


  • The Receptor.AI platform integrates extensive information about the target protein, such as historical experiments, academic research, known ligands, and structural insights, thereby increasing the likelihood of identifying highly relevant compounds.

  • The platform’s sophisticated molecular simulations are designed to discover potential binding sites, ensuring that our focused library is optimal for the discovery of allosteric inhibitors and binders for cryptic pockets.

  • With over 50 customisable AI models, verified through extensive testing in commercial drug discovery and research, Receptor.AI is efficient, reliable, and precise. These models are essential in the production of our focused libraries.

  • Receptor.AI not only produces focused libraries but also provides full services and solutions at every stage of preclinical drug discovery, with a success-based pricing structure that aligns our interests with the success of your project.

ALTERNATIVE NAMES:
Inward rectifier K(+) channel Kir6.1; Potassium channel, inwardly rectifying subfamily J member 8; uKATP-1

ALTERNATIVE UPACC:
Q15842; O00657

BACKGROUND:
The ATP-sensitive inward rectifier potassium channel 8, known as Kir6.1, is integral to potassium ion regulation within cells. Characterized by its G protein control and sensitivity to extracellular potassium, Kir6.1's function is essential for the proper flow of potassium ions, crucial for cellular electrical stability.

THERAPEUTIC SIGNIFICANCE:
Given Kir6.1's association with diseases such as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and Hypertrichotic osteochondrodysplasia, its study offers promising avenues for therapeutic intervention. Understanding the role of Kir6.1 could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies, underscoring the significance of ongoing research in this area.
