Insilico's UAE Team Selects First AI-Designed Preclinical Candidate for Regional Drug Development

Stock News08:14

Insilico has officially nominated ISM0387, a novel MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor, as a preclinical candidate drug. This molecule was discovered locally by the company's UAE team using its proprietary Pharma.AI platform. The entire early-stage drug discovery process, from molecular design to optimization, was completed within the UAE in less than 12 months. During this period, hit compound series were generated within 30 days, and lead optimization was accomplished in six months. ISM0387 is an AI-designed inhibitor with a novel structure that demonstrated strong in vitro activity, selectivity, optimized brain-penetrating properties, and potent efficacy in disease models during preclinical studies, with clear dose-dependent trends. Due to its unique molecular structure and enhanced central nervous system penetration, ISM0387 offers a promising potential new treatment option for patients with glioblastoma. This nomination also marks Insilico's 30th AI-driven preclinical candidate to date. The announcement was made with the support and presence of the UAE's Emirates Drug Establishment, Abu Dhabi Department of Health, and Abu Dhabi Investment Office.
