phenolic

Phenolic compounds are usually referred to as a diverse group of naturally occurring compounds with multiple medical properties, such as antioxidants, antimicrobial properties. Those compounds are commonly found in food and plants. They have high synthetic, medicinal and industrial values. Polyphenols are compounds with multiple phenolic functionalities. Naturally occurring polyphenols are known to have biological activities for use as drugs, for example, in diseases like AIDS, heart ailments, ulcer formation, bacterial infection, mutagenesis and neural disorders.

MCE offers a unique collection of 1,210 natural phenol compounds which is a useful tool for drug discovery as an important source of lead compounds.

Natural products are small molecules produced naturally by any organism including primary and secondary metabolites. Natural sources may lead to basic research on potential bioactive components for commercial development as lead compounds in drug discovery.

Nature has been a source of medicinal agents for thousands of years, and an impressive number of modern drugs have been isolated from natural sources, many based on their use in traditional medicine. With the development of new molecular targets, there is an increasing demand for novel molecular diversity for screening. Natural products will play a crucial role in meeting this demand through the continued investigation of world’s bio-diversity, much of which remains unexplored.

MCE provides a unique collection of 4,763 natural compounds that contain Saccharides and Glycosides, Phenylpropanoids, Quinones, Flavonoids, Terpenoids and Glycosides, Steroids, Alkaloid, Phenols, Acids and Aldehydes. Natural Product Library is a useful tool for drug discovery that can be used for high throughput screening (HTS) and high content screening (HCS).

From the discovery of traditional Chinese medicine to modern antibiotics, natural products have played an important role in the drug development process. A review of all FDA-approved drugs shows that natural products and natural product-like compounds account for more than one-third of all approved drugs. Nearly half of that came from mammals, a quarter from microbes, and a quarter from plants. Over time, the proportion of microbial natural products and natural product derivatives in approved drugs has increased. Natural products have natural advantages in drug development and can be used as lead compounds in drug discovery for drug identification and mechanism research.

MCE provides a unique collection of 0 natural compounds and natural product-like compounds that contain saccharides and glycosides, phenylpropanoids, quinones, flavonoids, terpenoids and glycosides, steroids, alkaloid, phenols, acids and aldehydes. Natural product and natural product-like compounds library is a useful tool for drug discovery that can be used for high-throughput screening (HTS) and high-content screening (HCS).

MCE provides a unique collection of 5,682 natural compounds that contains Saccharides and Glycosides, Phenylpropanoids, Quinones, Flavonoids, Terpenoids and Glycosides, Steroids, Alkaloid, Phenols, Acids and Aldehydes. Natural Product Library Plus, with more powerful screening capability, further complements Natural Product Library (HY-L021) by adding some compounds with low solubility or solution stability (Part B) to this library. All those supplementary are supplied in powder form.

Natural products (NPs) are a class of widely bioactive compounds that have been shown to have a variety of uses, including pharmaceutical, agricultural, industrial and other fields. Historically, natural products have played a key role in drug discovery, particularly for cancer and infectious diseases, but also in other therapeutic areas, including cardiovascular disease (e.g., statins) and multiple sclerosis (e.g., Fingolimod). Compared to traditional synthetic molecules, natural products have special structure and function, which brings advantages and challenges to the drug discovery process. Compared to synthetic compounds, natural products have higher skeleton diversity, structural complexity, and generally have higher molecular mass, more sp3 carbon atoms and oxygen atoms, more hydrogen bond acceptors and donors, and so on. Overall, natural product libraries cover a broader chemical space than typical synthetic small molecules.

MCE provides a unique collection of 4,664 natural compounds that contain Saccharides and Glycosides, Phenylpropanoids, Quinones, Flavonoids, Terpenoids and Glycosides, Steroids, Alkaloid, Phenols, Acids and Aldehydes. Natural Product Library is a useful tool for drug discovery that can be used for high-throughput screening (HTS) and high-content screening (HCS).

Traditional Chinese medicine provides abundant natural resources for medicinal compounds, which are often considered effective and safe for drug discovery. Traditional Chinese medicine is based on the principle of "multiple components, multiple targets, and multiple pathways", and naturally has multiple pharmacological effects. As herbal medicine, the secondary plant metabolites in Chinese herbal medicine play an important role in alleviating many diseases in Traditional medicine and folk use. Therefore, the identification of traditional Chinese medicine derived compounds is also an important process in drug development and a necessary factor in dissecting the overall mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine. FDA listed compounds have completed extensive preclinical and clinical studies, exhibiting good biological activity, safety, and bioavailability.

MCE designs a unique collection of 332 FDA-approved traditional Chinese medicine active compounds, including flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, and other structural types. It is a good tool for drug reuse and screening drugs from traditional Chinese medicine sources.

Natural products are small molecular compounds that occur in nature and come from any organism, including primary and secondary metabolites. Natural products have potential biological activity and can be used as lead compounds for drug discovery. Nature has been a source of medicines for thousands of years, and a large number of drugs have been isolated from nature, many based on their use in traditional medicine. With the development of compound targets, there is an increasing need to screen for compound diversity. Through ongoing research into natural biodiversity, much of which remains to be exploited, natural products will play a key role in meeting this demand. The Lipinski rule of 5 is used to describe the drug-like properties of a molecule, molecules that adhere to the rule of 5 have higher drug potential. Based on MCE natural product library, MCE selects the molecules that obey the rule of 5, which makes the efficiency of drug screening higher.

MCE designs a unique collection of 2,699 RO5 drug-like natural products, which is an important tool for drug discovery.

Chinese herbal therapy is an important part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It has been used for centuries in China, where herbs are considered fundamental therapy for many acute and chronic conditions. Many studies indicated TCM exerted an overall regulatory effect via multi-component and multi-target network. Active components from Traditional Chinese Medicine possess many medicinal properties such as antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-bacterial effects, which makes it an important source of new drugs. Nearly 200 modern medicines have been developed either directly or indirectly from the plants used as medicines in China. For example, artemisinin, used in multidrug resistant malaria, was first isolated from the Chinese herb Artemisia annua L. Today, scientists continue to identify compounds in Chinese herbal remedies that may be useful in the development of new therapeutic agents applicable in Western medicine.

MCE designs a unique collection of 2,895 active compounds of Chinese Herbal Medicines. MCE Traditional Chinese Medicine Active Compound Library is a useful tool for discovery new drugs from TCM.
