Abstract: IkappaB kinase beta (IKK-beta) is a serine-threonine protein kinase critically involved in the activation of the transcription factor Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) in response to various inflammatory stimuli. We have identified a small molecule inhibitor of IKK-beta. Optimization of the lead compound resulted in improvements in both in vitro and in vivo potency, and provided IKK-beta inhibitors exhibiting potent activity in an acute cytokine release model (LPS-induced TNFalpha).
