Discovery of RNA Targeting Small Molecules – Our Toolbox for RNA Drug Discovery
Drug Discovery Chemistry Conference 2023 WuXi AppTec has developed technologies to facilitate RNA small molecule screening, an exciting frontier in drug discovery. SHAPE-MaP is applied to determine RNA structure and dynamics and verify small molecule binding. We utilize the “DNA-Zipper” strategy to enable DNA-encoded libraries to identify RNA binders. With other technologies including fragment-based drug …Read More >

DLL3-Related PDX Models
DLL3 related lung cancer PDX models, validated by RNA-Seq and IHC staining
c-MET Related In Vivo Models
c-Met is a receptor tyrosine kinase, a/k/a hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR). As a type of proto-oncogene, c-Met overexpression, amplification or gene mutation can promote the development of multiple cancer types, including gastric, liver, lung, breast, pancreatic cancer, and glioblastoma (through the stimulation of multiple signaling pathways). As a result, c-Met is considered a clinically …Read More >
