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 >

Discovery of Potent and Selective Dual Leucine Zipper Kinase/Leucine Zipper-Bearing Kinase Inhibitors
Dual leucine zipper kinase (DLK) and leucine zipper-bearing kinase (LZK) have emerged as key regulators of neuronal degeneration and axon growth. WuXi AppTec scientists recently contributed to a research article in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry demonstrating the use of ligand- and structure-based drug design approaches to discover an amino-pyrazine chemical series of DLK and …Read More >
