Focused On-demand Library for Serine/threonine-protein kinase PAK 4

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.


We carefully select specific compounds from a vast collection of over 60 billion molecules in virtual chemical space. Reaxense helps in synthesizing and delivering these compounds.


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

It includes comprehensive molecular simulations of the catalytic and allosteric binding pockets and the ensemble virtual screening accounting for their conformational mobility. In the case of designing modulators, the structural changes induced by reaction intermediates are taken into account to leverage activity and selectivity.


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.

BACKGROUND:
The enzyme Serine/threonine-protein kinase PAK 4 plays a multifaceted role in signaling pathways that govern cell behavior. It is activated by effectors like growth factor receptors, leading to changes in cell structure, movement, growth, and survival. Through autophosphorylation, it impacts various proteins including SSH1, cofilin, and LIMK1, thereby regulating actin dynamics, cell motility, and apoptosis. Its influence extends to cellular processes such as focal adhesion assembly, stress fiber formation, and cell-cycle control via phosphorylation of targets like ITGB5, ARHGEF2, RHOA, BAD, and RAN.

THERAPEUTIC SIGNIFICANCE:
Exploring the functions of Serine/threonine-protein kinase PAK 4 offers promising avenues for the development of novel therapeutic interventions.
