Identification of novel inhibitors of Keap1/Nrf2 by a promising method combining protein–protein interaction-oriented library and machine learning

Abstract Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are prospective but challenging targets for drug discovery, because screening using traditional small-molecule libraries often fails to identify hits. Recently, we developed a PPI-oriented library comprising 12,593 small-to-medium-sized newly synthesized...
