Human metabolism is an integral part of cellular function that reflects individual differences in health, disease, diet, and lifestyle. Many health conditions such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and cancer are associated with abnormal metabolic states. In the pathological state of the human body, metabolic pathways are significantly altered, resulting in aberrant levels of intermediates or end-products that can be viewed as potential diagnostic biomarkers or even therapeutic targets. Therefore, detection, identification and quantification of human metabolites are very important for drug metabolism research in drug development.

MCE offers a unique collection of 6,085 human metabolites, including endogenous metabolites and exogenous metabolites, covering multiple structure types, such as lipids, amino acids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, organic acids, biogenic amines, vitamins,. MCE Human Metabolites Library is a helpful tool for studying the relationship between diseases and metabolism.

Tuberculosis (TB), usually caused by bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis), is an infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization (WHO), 10 million people suffer from tuberculosis every year, and 1.5 million people die of tuberculosis every year, which makes tuberculosis the number one killer of infectious diseases.

Tuberculosis can be cured through the standard 6-month course of treatment of four kinds of antibiotics. Common drugs include rifampicin and isoniazid. In some cases, TB bacteria do not respond to standard drugs, that is, patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis. The treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis takes longer and is more complex. In the face of the resurgence of tuberculosis in the world and the rapid emergence of multi drug resistant tuberculosis, it is very important to develop new anti-tuberculosis drugs or new clinical treatment schemes for existing anti mycobacterium drugs.

MCE supplies a unique collection of 98 compounds with clear anti-tuberculosis activity. MCE Anti-tuberculosis Compound Library is a useful tool for anti-tuberculosis related research and anti-tuberculosis drug development

Heterocyclic compounds are cyclic organic compounds which contain at least one hetero atom, the most common heteroatoms are nitrogen, oxygen ,and sulfur. Heterocycles are common in biology, featuring a wide range of structures from enzyme co-factors to amino acids and proteins. On the one hand, heterocycles are common structural units in approved drugs and in medicinal chemistry targets in the drug discovery process. In addition, heterocycles have been found as a key structure in medical chemistry and also they are frequently found in large percent of biomolecules such as vitamins, natural products ,and biologically active compounds including antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, antiallergic, anti-HIV, antidiabetic, anticancer activity.

MCE offers a unique collection of 6,082 heterocyclic compounds which can be used for drug discovery for high throughput screening (HTS) and high content screening (HCS). MCE heterocyclic compound library is critical for drug discovery and development.

Macrocycles, molecules containing 12-membered or larger rings, are receiving increased attention in small-molecule drug discovery. The reasons are several, including providing access to novel chemical space, challenging new protein targets, showing favorable ADME- and PK-properties. Macrocycles have demonstrated repeated success when addressing targets that have proved to be highly challenging for standard small-molecule drug discovery, especially in modulating macromolecular processes such as protein–protein interactions (PPI). Otherwise, the size and complexity of macrocyclic compounds make possible to ensure numerous and spatially distributed binding interactions, thereby increasing both binding affinity and selectivity.

MCE offers a unique collection of 367 macrocyclic compounds which can be used for drug discovery for high throughput screening (HTS) and high content screening (HCS). MCE Macrocyclic Compound Library is a useful tool for discovering new drugs, especially for “undruggable” targets and protein–protein interactions.

Cancer is a multi-step process which involves initiation, promotion and progression. Chemical carcinogens can alter any of these processes to induce their carcinogenic effects. People are continuously exposed exogenously to varying amounts of chemicals that have been shown to have carcinogenic or mutagenic properties in experimental systems. Exposure can occur exogenously when these agents are present in food, air or water, and also endogenously when they are products of metabolism or pathophysiologic states such as inflammation. The administration of chemical carcinogens is one of the most commonly used methods to induce tumors in several organs in laboratory animals in order to study oncologic diseases of humans. MCE offers a unique collection of 134 chemical carcinogens which have been identified with carcinogenic activity either in humans or in animal models. MCE Tumorigenesis-Related Compound Library is a powerful tool for studying oncologic diseases of humans. Standard opration based on safety data sheet will not cause harm to the body.

Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer among women, impacting 2.1 million women each year, and also causes the greatest number of cancer-related deaths among women. Surgery is usually the first type of treatment for breast cancer, which is usually followed by chemotherapy or radiotherapy or, in some cases, hormone or targeted therapies, especially for metastatic breast cancer (MBC).

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease, which is categorized into 3 major subtypes based on the presence or absence of molecular markers for estrogen or progesterone receptors and human epidermal growth factor 2 (ERBB2; formerly HER2): hormone receptor positive/ERBB2 negative (70% of patients), ERBB2 positive (15%-20%), and triple-negative (tumors lacking all 3 standard molecular markers; 15%). Different intrinsic subtypes exhibit different tumor behavior with different prognoses, and may require specific targeted therapies to maximize treatment effectiveness. Otherwise, some signaling pathways also play important roles in the development of breast cancer, such as NF-κB Signaling Pathway, TGF-beta Signaling Pathway, PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and Notch Signaling Pathway. These signaling pathways offer ideal targets for development of new targeted therapies for breast cancer.

MCE supplies a unique collection of 1,985 compounds with identified and potential anti-breast cancer activity. MCE Anti-Breast Cancer Compound Library is a useful tool for anti-breast cancer drugs screening.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a hepatotropic enveloped positive- strand RNA virus (family Flaviviridae) that infects the parenchymal cells of the liver. HCV infection is a significant public health burden. Globally, an estimated 71 million people have chronic hepatitis C virus infection. A significant number of those who are chronically infected will develop cirrhosis or liver cancer. To date, there is no vaccine against HCV, and combination pegylated alpha interferon (pIFN-) and ribavirin, the main standard-of-care treatment for HCV, is effective in only a subset of patients and is associated with a wide spectrum of toxic side effects and complications. More recently, new therapeutic approaches that target essential components of the HCV life cycle have been developed, including direct-acting antiviral (DAA) that specifically block a viral enzyme or functional protein and host-targeted agents (HTA) that block interactions between host proteins and viral components that are essential to the viral life cycle. However, the genetic diversity of HCV viruses and the stage of liver disease (i.e., cirrhosis) are revealing themselves as obstacles for effective, pan-genotypic treatments. There still exists a need for the discovery and development of new HCV inhibitors. In particular, since the future of HCV therapy will likely consist of a cocktail approach using multiple inhibitors that target different steps of infection, new antivirals targeting all steps of the viral infection cycle.

MCE offers a unique collection of 288 compounds with identified and potential anti-HCV activity. MCE Anti- Hepatitis C Virus Compound Library is a useful tool for discovery new anti-HCV drugs and other anti-infection research.
