Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Compound 3a was identified and optimised in a hit-to-lead study to identify inhibitors of the non-canonical NF-κB cascade in tumour cells [1]. 3a inhibits activity of the NF-κB-inducing kinase, NIK (MAP3K14), and is a representative example of a series of compounds with NIK selectivity, the most potent of which was 3e (biochemical IC50 2.9 μM).
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Immunopharmacology Comments |
This ligand is included in GToImmuPdb as it inhibits the non-canonical NF-κB signalling pathway, which is essential for immune responses, as well as being a driver of malignancy- see NIK SMI1 which is another NIK inhbitor, that has shown efficacy in a mouse model of the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). |
