Focused On-demand Libraries - Receptor.AI Collaboration


Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation

Our detailed focused library is generated on demand with advanced virtual screening and parameter assessment technology powered by the Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This method surpasses traditional approaches, delivering compounds of better quality with enhanced activity, selectivity, and safety.


From a virtual chemical space containing more than 60 billion molecules, we precisely choose certain compounds. Reaxense aids in their synthesis and provision.


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.

Our methodology employs molecular simulations to explore a wide array of proteins, capturing their dynamic states both individually and within complexes. Through ensemble virtual screening, we address conformational mobility, uncovering binding sites within functional regions and remote allosteric locations. This thorough exploration ensures no potential mechanism of action is overlooked, aiming to discover novel therapeutic targets and lead compounds across an extensive 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.

BACKGROUND:
Known alternatively as LIV-1 subfamily of ZIP zinc transporter 6 and Zrt- and Irt-like protein 8, ZIP8 is integral in the cellular uptake of zinc and manganese. These metals are essential for heart development, immune function, and mitochondrial operation. ZIP8's ability to regulate the influx of these cations indirectly influences gene expression related to cell morphology, cytoskeleton organization, and inflammatory responses, showcasing its broad impact on cellular health.

THERAPEUTIC SIGNIFICANCE:
Understanding the role of Metal cation symporter ZIP8 could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies. Given its critical function in regulating essential metal cation homeostasis and its association with congenital disorder of glycosylation 2N, research into ZIP8 offers promising avenues for the development of targeted therapies for a range of metabolic and developmental disorders.
