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. Our partner Reaxense helps in synthesizing and delivering these compounds.
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 use our state-of-the-art dedicated workflow for designing focused 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 stands out due to several important features:

Background:
Sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger 1, also known as Na(+)/K(+)/Ca(2+)-exchange protein 1, plays a pivotal role in the visual transduction cascade by regulating calcium concentration in the outer segments of retinal rod and cone photoreceptors. This regulation is crucial for light adaptation, with the protein facilitating the extrusion of calcium in response to light exposure, thereby modulating photoreceptor sensitivity.
Therapeutic significance:
The protein's malfunction is linked to Night blindness, congenital stationary, 1D, a disorder characterized by impaired night vision without progression. Understanding the role of Sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger 1 could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies for this and related visual impairments.
