Abstract

Dysregulated antigen receptor-mediated NF-kappaB activation can contribute to development of autoimmunity, chronic inflammation, and malignancy. A chemical biology screening strategy has identified a substituted benzimidazole that selectively inhibits antigen receptor-mediated NF-kappaB activation without blocking other NF-kappaB activation pathways. A library of analogs was synthesized and the structure-activity relationship and metabolic stability for the series is presented.
