Abstract
Nuclear receptors regulate transcription in response to ligand signals and enable the pharmacological control of gene expression. However, many nuclear receptors are still poorly explored and are not accessible to ligand-based target identification studies. In particular, most members of the NR2 family are among the least studied proteins of the class, and apart from the retinoid X receptors (RXR), validated NR2 ligands are very rare. Here, we gathered the NR2 modulators reported in the literature for comparative profiling in uniform test systems. Most candidate compounds displayed insufficient on-target activity or selectivity to be used as chemical tools for NR2 receptors, underscoring the urgent need for further NR2 ligand development. Nevertheless, a small NR2 modulator set could be assembled for application in a chemogenomic fashion.
期刊介绍：
ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science publishes high quality, innovative, and impactful research across the broad spectrum of biological sciences, covering basic and molecular sciences through to translational preclinical studies. Clinical studies that address novel mechanisms of action, and methodological papers that provide innovation, and advance translation, will also be considered. We give priority to studies that fully integrate basic pharmacological and/or biochemical findings into physiological processes that have translational potential in a broad range of biomedical disciplines. Therefore, studies that employ a complementary blend of in vitro and in vivo systems are of particular interest to the journal. Nonetheless, all innovative and impactful research that has an articulated translational relevance will be considered.
ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science does not publish research on biological extracts that have unknown concentration or unknown chemical composition.
Authors are encouraged to use the pre-submission inquiry mechanism to ensure relevance and appropriateness of research.
