Different functional groups confer unique chemical properties and reactivity characteristics to compounds. The presence of these functional groups not only affects the physical properties of the compounds, such as solubility and boiling point, but also determines their chemical reactivity and potential applications in chemical synthesis.

Covalent ligands rely on reactive groups (“warheads”), and new warheads are key to expanding the scope of covalent modalities. Through careful selection, we constructed a structural filter containing over 110 electrophilic groups. By analyzing the electrophilic fragments selected by the structural filter, we removed any molecules with trivial or undesirable structural features. Ultimately, we obtained 4,900 multifunctional covalent fragments.

Glycolysis is a series of metabolic processes by which one molecule of glucose is catabolized to two molecules of pyruvate with a net gain of two ATP. Glycolysis takes place in 10 steps and catalyzed by a series of enzyme, such as hexokinase, Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, Phosphofructokinase, etc. Glycolysis is used by all cells in the body for energy generation.

Most cancer cells exhibit increased glycolysis and use this metabolic pathway for generation of ATP as a main source of their energy supply. This phenomenon is known as the Warburg effect and is considered as one of the most fundamental metabolic alterations during malignant transformation. Because increased aerobic glycolysis is commonly seen in a wide spectrum of human cancers, development of novel glycolytic inhibitors as a new class of anticancer agents is likely to have broad therapeutic applications.

Most of the drugs that are available in the marketplace are administered via the oral route, which is a convenient and cost effective route of administration. Thus, oral bioavailability is one of the key considerations in drug design and development. A high oral bioavailability reduces the amount of an administered drug necessary to achieve a desired pharmacological effect and therefore could reduce the risk of side-effects and toxicity. A poor oral bioavailability can result in low efficacy and higher inter-individual variability and therefore can lead to unpredictable response to a drug. Low oral bioavailability in clinical trials is a major reason for drug candidates failing to reach the market.

MCE offers a unique collection of 3,630 compounds with confirmed high oral bioavailability. MCE Orally Active Compound Library is a useful tool for discovering new drugs with oral bioavailability.

A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host. Parasites of humans include protozoans, helminths, and ecto-parasites (organisms that live on the external surface of a host). They are responsible for many diseases and are transmitted to their hosts most often through the ingestion of contaminated food, water or through the bite of an arthropod (e.g., a fly or tick), which can act as an intermediate host and as a vector. Parasitic diseases of humans are a major global health problem causing significant morbidity and mortality, especially in developing countries. Each year there are hundreds of millions of people infected with disease-causing parasites, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, resulting in an estimated one million deaths. Therefore, there is a dire need of novel anti-parasitic drugs.

MCE has a unique collection of 479 compounds with validated anti-parasitic activity which offer researchers an opportunity to screen novel anti-parasitic targets.

Gastric Cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, ranking fourth in mortality rate globally. Because the early symptoms of stomach neoplasm are usually not obvious, are diagnosed with gastric cancer at terminal stage, and the relative survival rate within 5 years is very low. With the further understanding of the molecular characteristics of stomach neoplasm, many therapeutic targets for gastric cancer have been identified, and molecular targeted therapies such as CTLA-4, HER2 and immune checkpoint inhibitors have made rapid progress. Although survival rates for patients with gastric neoplasm have improved over the past few decades, the prognosis is still worrying. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new drugs to treat gastric cancer.

MCE designs a unique collection of 687 small molecules with definite or potential anti-gastric cancer activity, which is an important tool for studying the pathological mechanism of stomach neoplasm and developing drugs for stomach neoplasm.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contributes to the production and folding of approximately one third of cellular proteins, and is thus inextricably linked to the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and the fine balance between health and disease. However, some adverse factors negatively impact ER functions and protein synthesis, resulting in the activation of Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress, ERS) and unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling pathways. The UPR is triggered when ER protein folding capacity is overwhelmed by cellular demand and the UPR initially aims to restore ER homeostasis and normal cellular functions. However, if this fails, then the UPR triggers cell death. Chronic ER stress and defects in UPR signaling are emerging as key contributors to a growing list of human diseases, including diabetes, neurodegeneration and cancer.

MCE Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Compound Library contains 223 ER stress-related compounds that mainly target PERK, IRE1, ATF6, etc. MCE ER stress library is a useful tool for researching ER stress and related diseases.

Viruses are much simpler organisms than bacteria, and they are made from protein substances and nucleic acid. Despite the fact that the exact mechanism of infection is extremely specific to each type of virus, the general scheme of infection can be represented in the following manner: A virus is absorbed at the surface of a host cell and then permeates through the membrane, where it releases nucleic acid from its protein protection. Then the viral nucleic acid begins to replicate, and transcription of the viral genome takes place either in the cytoplasm, or in the nucleus of the host cell. As a result of these events, a large amount of viral nucleic acid and protein are made to make new generations of virions. Therefore, one mechanism of action of antiviral drugs is to interfere with the ability of a virus to get into a target cell. A second mechanism of action is to target the processes that synthesize virus components after a virus invades a cell, such as nucleotide or nucleoside analogs.

MCE designs a unique collection of 1,312 anti-virus compounds that target several viruses, including SARS-CoV, HBV, HCV, HIV, HSV and Influenza Virus. It’s an effective tool for anti-virus drug discovery.

Current evidence indicates that during hepatocarcinogenesis, two main pathogenic mechanisms prevail: (1) cirrhosis associated with hepatic regeneration after tissue damage caused by hepatitis infection, toxins or metabolic influences, and (2) mutations occurring in single or multiple oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Both mechanisms have been linked with alterations in several important cellular signaling pathways. These include the RAF/MEK/ERK pathway, PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, WNT/b-catenin pathway, insulin-like growth factor pathway, c-MET/HGFR pathway , etc.

MCE offers a unique collection of 1,867 compounds with identified and potential anti-liver cancer activity. MCE anti-liver cancer compound library is a useful tool for anti-liver cancer drugs screening and other related research.

Lactic acid metabolism is one of the key metabolic pathways within living organisms. It plays a crucial role not only in cellular energy conversion but is also closely related to a variety of physiological and pathological processes. The production and clearance of lactic acid are important indicators of cellular metabolic balance, and its abnormal regulation may lead to conditions such as lactic acidosis, muscle fatigue, and hereditary metabolic diseases. Moreover, lactic acid is closely related to the malignancy of tumors and is considered a biomarker for malignant tumors and poor prognosis. Lactic acid can serve as a metabolic substrate to support the metabolic needs of tumor cells under hypoxic conditions, and it can also cause acidification of the tumor microenvironment, suppress immune cell function to promote immune evasion, and induce drug resistance in tumor cells. Currently, targeting lactic acid-lactylation and its related metabolic pathways has become a new research avenue for cancer treatment. In-depth exploration of the molecular mechanisms of lactic acid metabolism can help in screening lead compounds that regulate the lactic acid metabolism.

MCE contains 342 small molecule compounds targeting enzymes involved in lactic acid metabolism. This library is of significant value for researching the role of lactate metabolism in the mechanisms of diseases.

Lung cancer is a major global health problem, as it is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Lung cancer is divided into two categories: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for about 85 percent of lung cancers.

As with all cancers, lung cancer may be treated with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy or a combination thereof. Targeted therapy is one of the most exciting developments in lung cancer medicine, especially for NSCLC. Extensive genomic characterization of NSCLC has led to the identification of molecular subtypes of NSCLC that are oncogene addicted and exquisitely sensitive to targeted therapies. These include activating mutations in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and BRAF or echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4)-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusions and ROS1 receptor tyrosine kinase fusions. These are important targets for target therapy.

MCE offers a unique collection of 1,909 compounds with identified and potential anti-lung cancer activity. These compounds target lung cancer’s major targets and signaling pathways. MCE anti-lung cancer compound library is a useful tool for anti-lung cancer drugs screening and other related research.

Withdrawal or delisting drugs refer to drugs that are recalled or discontinued from the market due to low efficiency, serious side effects, financial and regulatory problems and other reasons. Once the drug is withdrawn from the market, it will cause heavy losses to the original research company that invested a lot of time, finance and other costs to develop the drug.

Adverse drug reaction (ADR) is the main reason for drug withdrawal from the market. ADR refers to the unexpected effects caused by the reasons such as the target-directed interaction during the treatment. However, studying the mechanism of these ADRs may just be a breakthrough in finding new indications. For example, thalidomide, the protagonist of the drug damage event that caused numerous "seal babies" deformed infants, was found to be due to the degradation of a transcription factor - SALL4 after delisting, which made thalidomide have a new clinical application. In 1998, it was approved by FDA for the treatment of leprosy nodular erythema, and in 2006, it was approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma. ADR study of delisted drugs can not only avoid the loss of drug development in advance but also bring hope to new indications.

MCE has sorted out 210 drug compounds withdrawn from the market through FDA, EMA and other authoritative platforms. Each compound has withdrawal records in at least one country/market. It is a useful tool for conducting research on drug side effects or drug toxicity mechanisms and discovering new indications of drugs.
