While cell-active small molecules have been identified that modify cysteines in Keap1 and effect the Nrf2 dependent pathway, few act through a non-covalent mechanism. We have identified and characterized several small molecule compounds that specifically bind to the Keap1 Kelch-DC domain as measured by NMR, native mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. One compound upregulates Nrf2 response genes measured by a luciferase cell reporter assay. The non-covalent inhibition strategy presents a reasonable course of action to avoid toxic side-effects due to non-specific cysteine modification. Small molecules inhibit the interaction of Nrf2 and the Keap1 Kelch domain through a non-covalent mechanism.,Marcotte D, Zeng W, Hus JC, McKenzie A, Hession C, Jin P, Bergeron C, Lugovskoy A, Enyedy I, Cuervo H, Wang D, Atmanene C, Roecklin D, Vecchi M, Vivat V, Kraemer J, Winkler D, Hong V, Chao J, Lukashev M, Silvian L Bioorg Med Chem. 2013 Jul 15;21(14):4011-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2013.04.019.
