摘要:
We describe here a series of N-(quinolin-8-yl)benzenesulfonamides capable of suppressing the NF kappa B pathway identified from two high-throughput screens run at two centers of the NIH Molecular Libraries Initiative. These small molecules were confirmed in both primary and secondary assays of NF kappa B activation and expanded upon through analogue synthesis. The series exhibited potencies in the cell-based assays at as low as 0.6 mu M, and several indications suggest that the targeted activity lies within a common region of the NF kappa B pathway.
