# Small Molecule Inhibitors from MuseChem: Targeting Key Pathways in Disease Therapy
## Introduction to Small Molecule Inhibitors
Small molecule inhibitors have revolutionized modern medicine by providing targeted approaches to disease treatment. These compounds, typically with molecular weights below 900 daltons, can selectively bind to and modulate the activity of specific proteins involved in disease pathways. MuseChem has emerged as a leading provider of high-quality small molecule inhibitors for research and therapeutic development.
## The Science Behind Small Molecule Inhibition
Mechanism of Action
Small molecule inhibitors work through various mechanisms:
- Competitive inhibition at active sites
- Allosteric modulation of protein conformation
- Disruption of protein-protein interactions
- Stabilization of inactive protein states
Advantages Over Other Therapeutic Modalities
Compared to biologics, small molecule inhibitors offer several benefits:
- Oral bioavailability
- Better tissue penetration
- Lower production costs
- Easier storage and handling
