IKK-β inhibitors: An analysis of drug–receptor interaction by using Molecular Docking and Pharmacophore 3D-QSAR approaches
2010
Abstract The IKK kinases family represents a thrilling area of research because of its importance in regulating the activity of NF-kB transcription factors. The discovery of the central role played by IKK-β in the activation of transcription in response to apoptotic or inflammatory stimuli allowed to considerate its modulation as a promising tool for the treatment of chronic inflammation and cancer. To date, several IKK-β inhibitors have been discovered and tested. In this work, an analysis of the interactions between different classes of inhibitors and their biological target was performed, through the application of Molecular Docking and Pharmacophore/3D-QSAR approaches to a set of 141 in…
