Protease Targeted Library

Proteases (also known as peptidases or proteinases) are a subgroup of hydrolase enzymes that catalyze proteolysis. There are two main subtypes of proteases: exoproteases that cleave peptide bonds at the terminus of polypeptide chains and endoproteases that act internally by finding out a site of interaction. Proteases are also classified according to their catalytic site, forming four major classes:

Proteases take part in a variety of physiological processes and represent potential drug targets for various diseases (cardiovascular disorders, cancer, arthritis, atherosclerosis), as well as for combating many viruses and parasites (AIDS, malaria, Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, or African sleeping sickness) [1-6].

Life Chemicals has designed a dedicated selection of 5,700 potential protease inhibitors applying both ligand-based and receptor-based approaches.

The compound selection can be customized based on your requirements, cherry picking is available.

Compound selection

A reference set of 80,000 unique molecules with protease inhibitor activity from the ChEMBL database that contained substances with their activity less than 10 uM was first prepared. A 2D fingerprint similarity search against the reference compound set provided about 5,700 structurally-diverse screening compounds selected from Life Chemicals HTS Compound Collection (Fig. 1). PAINS, toxic and reactive compounds are excluded from the Library.

Several customized dockings were carried out against separate targets. All simulations, including flexible and covalent docking and compound optimization to Cathepsin B, were done with Sybyl-X software.
