# Small Molecule Inhibitors from MuseChem: Targeting Key Pathways in Disease Research

Introduction to Small Molecule Inhibitors

Small molecule inhibitors have become indispensable tools in modern biomedical research and drug discovery. 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 established itself as a leading provider of high-quality small molecule inhibitors for research applications.
