Methodology

ChemoSensoryX Biosciences SA , a specialist in research into G-Protein-Coupled-Receptors (GPCRs), has developed an artificial human nose by cloning and expressing all human Olfactory Receptors (hORs). ChemoSensoryX Biosciences SA uses a unique technology platform and a chemical library with more than 7,000 molecules. ChemoSensoryX Biosciences SA has deorphanized (i.e. identified which chemical entities can activate a particular receptor) more than 120 hORs.

ChemoSensoryX Biosciences SA has identified malodors’ blockers (antagonists) and chemical entities that can enhance pleasant odors (enhancers or positive allosteric modulators or more potent agonists). ChemoSensoryX Biosciences SA allows the use of simplified odor prints composed of a restricted number of molecules to mimic the organoleptic properties of a given product using less and cheaper ingredients.
