Discovery of small molecule c?Maf inhibitors using molecular docking?based virtual screening, molecular dynamics simulation, and biological evaluation

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

We employed a combined strategy involving molecular docking-based virtual screening, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, and MM/GBSA free energy calculation on existing FDA-approved drugs. Sorafenib and glimepiride simultaneously downregulated c-Maf protein expression to induce G1 phase arrest and apoptosis in myeloma cells.
