Candidate ID: R0725
Source ID: DB05183
Source Type: investigational
Compound Type: small molecule
Compound Name: MLN0415
Synonyms: --
Molecular Formula: --
SMILES: --
DrugBank Description: MLN0415 is a novel, small molecule IKK2 inhibitor, discovered by Millennium scientists. In preclinical studies, MLN0415 was shown to decrease NF-kB activation and down-regulate the expression of a number of inflammatory proteins. Because inflammatory proteins play a critical role in inflammation and drive the inflammatory response to disease, controlling these proteins may prevent or slow disease progression.
CAS Number: --
Molecular Weight:
DrugBank Indication: Investigated for use/treatment in inflammatory disorders (unspecified).
DrugBank Pharmacology: --
DrugBank MoA: MLN0415 is an oral, highly selective, small molecule inhibitor of IKK2, which targets a major inflammatory pathway. MLN0415 was shown to decrease NF-kB activation and down-regulate the expression of a number of inflammatory proteins. Because inflammatory proteins play a critical role in inflammation and drive the inflammatory response to disease, controlling these proteins may prevent or slow disease progression.
Targets: Inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase subunit beta
Inclusion Criteria: Therapeutic strategy associated
