Synthetic organic
Comment: NIK SMI1 is a selective inhibitor of the NF-κB-inducing kinase, NIK (MAP3K14) [1]. NIK is a kinase that operates downstream of several TNF family receptors, including BAFF (TNFRSF13C), TWEAK (TNFRSF12A), CD40 (TNFRSF5), and OX40 (TNFRSF4), and which mediates non-canonical NF-κB signaling. Inhibition of NIK recapitulates the inhibition of BAFF that is observed for example using the anti-BAFF, SLE approved biologic belimumab. The compound has no effect on canonical NF-κB signaling.
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 |
NIK SMI1 reduces pathological symptoms of SLE (renal pathology and proteinuria scores), and improves survival in a mouse model of the disease [1]. |
