The canonical Wingless-related integration site signaling pathway plays a critical role in human physiol., and its dysregulation can lead to an array of diseases. β-Catenin is a multifunctional protein within this pathway and an attractive yet challenging therapeutic target, most notably in oncol. This has stimulated the search for potent small-mol. inhibitors binding directly to the β-catenin surface to inhibit its protein-protein interactions and downstream signaling. Here, we provide an account of the claimed (and some putative) small-mol. ligands of β-catenin from the literature. Through in silico anal., we show that most of these mols. contain promiscuous chem. substructures notorious for interfering with screening assays. Finally, and in line with this anal., we demonstrate using orthogonal biophys. techniques that none of the examined small mols. bind at the surface of β-catenin. While shedding doubts on their reported mode of action, this study also reaffirms β-catenin as a prominent target in drug discovery. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2,3-Dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazo[1,2-a]imidazole (cas: 24134-26-7Synthetic Route of C9H9N3).
2,3-Dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazo[1,2-a]imidazole (cas: 24134-26-7) belongs to imidazole derivatives. Imidazole derivatives generally have good solubility in protic solvents. Simple imidazole derivatives, such as 1H-imidazole, 2-methyl-1H-imidazole, and 1,2-dimethylimidazole, have very high solubility in water. This ring system is present in important biological building blocks, such as histidine and the related hormone histamine.Synthetic Route of C9H9N3
