Virtual screening (VS) is to use the molecular docking software on the computer to simulate the interaction between the target target and the candidate drug before the biological activity screening, and calculate the affinity between the two to reduce the actual screening of the compound Number, while improving the discovery efficiency of lead compounds. Virtual screening can effectively reduce the number of experimentally screened compounds, reduce R&D costs, and shorten R&D cycles.
CSNpharm has abundant database resources, high-performance computer servers, and can provide professional molecular docking and virtual screening services. The optimized virtual screening program can reduce the number of compounds to be screened in large-scale experiments, increase the possibility of ideal lead discovery, shorten the virtual screening service time, and reduce the risk of failure of subsequent lead optimization. We can tailor cost-effective service plans according to the specific needs of customers, and provide high-quality early drug research and development services for the majority of scientific research customers.
The virtual screening methods are mainly divided into two types: receptor-based virtual screening and ligand-based virtual screening.
Receptor-based virtual screening starts from the 3D structure of the target protein, studies the characteristic properties of the binding site of the target protein and the interaction mode between it and small molecule compounds, and evaluates the protein and protein according to the affinity scoring function related to the binding energy. The binding ability of small molecule compounds is evaluated, and finally a compound with a reasonable binding mode and a higher prediction score is selected from a large number of compound molecules for subsequent biological activity testing.
Ligand-based virtual screening generally uses small molecule compounds with known activity, and searches the compound database for chemical molecular structures that can match it based on the compound’s shape similarity or pharmacophore model. Finally, these selected compounds were experimentally screened and studied.
Customers only need to provide biological information related to the target, and we will screen the best active compounds for you to lay the foundation for further biological activity evaluation.

•3D pharmacophore models
