Yingsi Intelligence has discovered an AI driven WRN inhibitor that targets highly microsatellite unstable cancer

WRN has been identified as a synthetic lethal target in highly microsatellite unstable (MSI-H) cancer cells, with therapeutic potential for MSI-H tumor patients who do not respond to existing therapies. The innovative module Alchemisty under Yingsi Intelligent Chemistry42 utilizes non-equilibrium switching method to accurately and quickly estimate the binding free energy of protein ligand complexes, simplifying and accelerating the optimization process of ISM2196. In preclinical studies, ISM2196 has demonstrated strong in vivo anti-tumor efficacy in various MSI-H cancer models, with good selectivity, safety, and ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity) characteristics. Yingsi Intelligent, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical technology company driven by generative artificial intelligence (AI), announced the nomination of preclinical candidate drug ISM2196, a potential “best in class” WRN inhibitor discovered by AI, aimed at treating advanced metastatic microsatellite instability (MSI) cancer through synthetic lethal strategies. The DNA helicase Werner (WRN) is a member of the RecQ helicase family ...

Nature Journal | Revealing the Cell Membrane Protein Interactions of Endogenous GLP-1 Receptors!

As a drug therapy target for obesity and type 2 diabetes, glucagon like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is widely distributed in many tissues and has cell type specific physiological functions. For example, GLP-1R mainly regulates insulin secretion and cell proliferation in pancreatic islets, and has functions such as appetite suppression, neuroprotection, and anti-inflammatory in the brain. Considering that the maturation, localization, activation, and endocytosis of receptors are all influenced by protein interactions, exploring the interactions between receptors and other membrane proteins on the cell surface can provide important clues for the study of the regulatory mechanism of GLP-1R. However, due to the low expression levels and transient and weak interactions of most membrane receptors, the study of the interaction between endogenous GLP-1R and cell membrane proteins requires the development of new research methods. On September 3, 2024, the iHuman Institute of ShanghaiTech University and the research group led by Shui Wenqing ...

Great earthquake! AlphaProteo breaks doubts! Will become a cancer killer! Leading the way in brand new protein design!

Heavy weight! DeepMind is scaling up again! AlphaFold dominates the field of protein prediction, and AlphaFold 3 breaks through its limitations by predicting all living molecules. When it was released, there were voices claiming that AlphaFold 3’s structured prediction and generation would accelerate the development of AI driven drug design. Now, DeepMind has scaled up its strategy by releasing AlphaProteo for the design of new proteins. AlphaProteo is the first AI system designed specifically for designing novel high-intensity protein conjugates, capable of generating conjugates of multiple target proteins. This system significantly improves the success rate, even 3 to 300 times stronger than existing methods. Especially for the VEGF-A protein related to cancer and diabetes complications, AlphaProteo is the first AI tool to design successful conjugates. In addition, it can effectively bind to various proteins related to infection, cancer, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases, such as BHRF1, SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, IL-7R α, ...
