Focused On-demand Library for Actin-binding protein WASF1

Focused On-demand Libraries - Receptor.AI Collaboration


Explore the Potential with AI-Driven Innovation

The specialised, focused library is developed on demand with the most recent virtual screening and parameter assessment technology, guided by the Receptor.AI drug discovery platform. This approach exceeds the capabilities of traditional methods and offers compounds with higher 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.


The library includes a list of the most effective modulators, each annotated with 38 ADME-Tox and 32 physicochemical and drug-likeness parameters. Furthermore, each compound is shown with its optimal docking poses, affinity scores, and activity scores, offering a detailed summary.


We employ our advanced, specialised process to create targeted 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 is unique due to several crucial aspects:


  • Receptor.AI compiles all relevant data on the target protein, such as past experimental results, literature findings, known ligands, and structural data, thereby enhancing the likelihood of focusing on the most significant compounds.

  • By utilizing advanced molecular simulations, the platform is adept at locating potential binding sites, rendering the compounds in the focused library well-suited for unearthing allosteric inhibitors and binders for hidden pockets.

  • The platform is supported by more than 50 highly specialized AI models, all of which have been rigorously tested and validated in diverse drug discovery and research programs. Its design emphasizes efficiency, reliability, and accuracy, crucial for producing focused libraries.

  • Receptor.AI extends beyond just creating focused libraries; it offers a complete spectrum of services and solutions during the preclinical drug discovery phase, with a success-dependent pricing strategy that reduces risk and fosters shared success in the project.

BACKGROUND:
The Actin-binding protein WASF1, alternatively named Protein WAVE-1, is integral to signal transmission from tyrosine kinase receptors and small GTPases to the actin cytoskeleton. It facilitates actin filament formation and is a crucial part of the WAVE complex that modulates lamellipodia formation and actin reorganization, alongside its role in BDNF-NTRK2 signaling and mitochondrial dynamics.

THERAPEUTIC SIGNIFICANCE:
Given its critical function in a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by significant intellectual disability and seizures, Actin-binding protein WASF1 presents a promising avenue for therapeutic intervention. Exploring its mechanisms could unveil new therapeutic approaches for related disorders.
