Neuropeptides are small proteins produced and released by neurons through the regulation of secretory pathways, expressed in neurons and have transmitter or co-transmitter functions, and are used as nerve substrates. Neuropeptides are by far the largest and most diverse signaling molecules in the brain and have been implicated in the development of diseases and drugs. Neuropeptides are involved in inflammatory and immune diseases and have an impact on epithelial, vascular, and connective tissue cells proliferation and tissue repair. Studies have shown that neuropeptides are particularly important when the nervous system is challenged, such as stress, injury, or substance abuse. Substance P is a neuropeptide that acts as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator in the central nervous system and is currently in clinical research and has been shown to be involved in inflammatory processes and pain.
MCE can provide 128 neuropeptides that can be used for scientific research.

Pain is a kind of distressing feeling caused by the stimulation of tissue damage. According to the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), pain is defined as ”An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage”.
Pain is usually classified according to its location, duration, underlying causes, and intensity. For example, acute and chronic pain, muscle pain, and nerve pain. Pain is the main symptom of most diseases, which seriously affects the quality of life and body function of patients. In the medical treatment of pain, anti-inflammatory drugs and opioid analgesic agents have traditionally been used, but the side effects are serious. In recent years, targeted drugs targeting the ERK/MAPK pathway or other targets have gradually become a research hotspot.
MCE supplies a unique collection of 3,586 compounds targeting key proteins in the pain system. MCE Pain-Related Compound Library is a useful tool for pain related research and anti-pain drug development.
Diabetes mellitus, usually called diabetes, is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by a high blood sugar level over a prolonged period of time. The most common types are Type I and Type II. Type I diabetes (T1D), also called juvenile onset diabetes mellitus or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, is characterized by destruction of the β-cells of the pancreas and insulin is not produced, whereas type II diabetes (T2D), also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, is characterized by a progressive impairment of insulin secretion and relative decreased sensitivity of target tissues to the action of this hormone. Type 2 diabetes accounts for the vast majority of all diabetes mellitus. Diabetes of all types can lead to complications in many parts of the body and can increase the overall risk of dying prematurely. Possible complications include kidney failure, leg amputation, vision loss and nerve damage.
The pathogenesis of diabetes is complicated, and development of the safe and effective drugs against diabetes is full of challenge. Increasing studies have confirmed that the pathogenesis of diabetes is related to various signaling pathways, such as insulin signaling pathway, AMPK pathway, PPAR regulation and chromatin modification pathways. These signaling pathways have thus become the major source of the promising novel drug targets to treat metabolic diseases and diabetes.
MCE Anti-diabetic Compound Library owns a unique collection of 1,194 compounds, which mainly target SGLT, PPAR, DPP-4, AMPK, Dipeptidyl Peptidase, Glucagon Receptor, etc. This library is a useful tool for discovery anti-diabetes drugs.
