Abstract:Introduction:
Heart failure is a complex syndrome with a poor prognosis. The neuregulin-1 (NRG1)/ERBB4 axis has been shown to be cardioprotective and is a possible target for heart failure therapy. Clinical trials with NRG1 are ongoing, but require intravenous administration. Our aim is to develop a small-molecule ERBB4 agonist with cardioprotective properties.
Methods:
A high-throughput diversity screening (HTS) of 10,240 compounds was performed on a c… Show more
