Discovery of New Autotaxin Inhibitors Using Structure-based Approaches
Author(s): Meihui Nelson*
The discovery of effective AutoTaXin (ATX) inhibitors is crucial for developing therapies targeting various diseases, including cancer, inflammation
and fibrosis. Structure-based drug design has emerged as a powerful strategy to identify and optimize ATX inhibitors with enhanced potency and
selectivity. This comprehensive review explores recent advancements in structure-based approaches for discovering ATX inhibitors, encompassing
computational modeling, structural biology insights and medicinal chemistry strategies. Key findings highlight successful examples of ATX
inhibitor development, including structure-activity relationship studies and mechanism-based drug design. The review discusses challenges,
opportunities and future directions in leveraging structure-based approaches to accelerate the discovery of next-generation ATX inhibitors for
clinical applicati.. Read More»
