high sensitivity

19F-NMR has proved to be a detection mode in fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) for studies of protein structure and interactions. 19F shows high sensitivity for NMR detection, and the exquisite sensitivity of 19F chemical shifts and linewidths to ligand binding all make it a valuable approach in FBDD.F (Fluorine) -Fragments can be used for 19F-NMR detection after binding to target proteins, and can be used as an effective 19F-NMR tool for FBDD.

MCE designs a unique collection of 5,017 F-fragments, all of which obey a heuristic rule called the “Rule of Three (RO3)”, in which molecular weight ≤300 Da, the number of hydrogen bond donors (H-donors) ≤3, the number of hydrogen bond acceptors (H-acceptors) is ≤3 and cLogP is ≤3. This F-fragments library is an important source of lead-like drugs.

Diabetes mellitus, usually called diabetes, is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by a high blood sugar level over a prolonged period of time. The most common types are Type I and Type II. Type I diabetes (T1D), also called juvenile onset diabetes mellitus or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, is characterized by destruction of the β-cells of the pancreas and insulin is not produced, whereas type II diabetes (T2D), also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, is characterized by a progressive impairment of insulin secretion and relative decreased sensitivity of target tissues to the action of this hormone. Type 2 diabetes accounts for the vast majority of all diabetes mellitus. Diabetes of all types can lead to complications in many parts of the body and can increase the overall risk of dying prematurely. Possible complications include kidney failure, leg amputation, vision loss and nerve damage.

The pathogenesis of diabetes is complicated, and development of the safe and effective drugs against diabetes is full of challenge. Increasing studies have confirmed that the pathogenesis of diabetes is related to various signaling pathways, such as insulin signaling pathway, AMPK pathway, PPAR regulation and chromatin modification pathways. These signaling pathways have thus become the major source of the promising novel drug targets to treat metabolic diseases and diabetes.

MCE Anti-diabetic Compound Library owns a unique collection of 780 compounds, which mainly target SGLT, PPAR, DPP-4, AMPK, Dipeptidyl Peptidase, Glucagon Receptor, etc. This library is a useful tool for discovery anti-diabetes drugs.

High Sensitivity ECL Kit enables low picogram detection of antigen by oxidizing luminol in the presence of HRP and peroxide. This reaction produces a prolonged chemiluminescence which can be visualized on X-ray film or digital imaging systems.

MCE Ultra High Sensitivity ECL Kit is an ultra-sensitive, luminol-based enhanced chemiluminescent substrate for detecting horseradish peroxidase (HRP) labeled antibodies on western blots.

MCE Cell-ATP Viability Detection Kit is used for detecting the number and viability of living cells in culture based on high-sensitivity bioluminescence detection technology of the ATP present.
