NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK), an oncogenic drug target that is associated with various cancers, is a central signalling component of the non-canonical pathway. A blind screening process, which established that amino pyrazole related scaffolds have an effect on IKKbeta, led to a optimization process that identified the aminopyrazole as a low μM selective NIK inhibitor. Compound effectively inhibited the NIK-dependent activation of the NF-κB pathway in tumour cells, confirming its selective inhibitory profile.
核因子κB诱导激酶(NIK)是一种与多种癌症相关的致癌药物靶点,是非经典途径的核心信号成分。一项盲筛过程确定了氨基吡唑相关支架对IKKβ有作用,进而引发了优化过程,该过程确定氨基吡唑为低 microM 选择性 NIK 抑制剂。该化合物有效抑制肿瘤细胞中 NF-κB 途径的 NIK 依赖性激活,证实了其选择性抑制特性。
