Abstract

WD40 repeat and SOCS box containing 1 (WSB1) consists of seven WD40 repeat structural domains at the N-terminal end and one SOCS box structural domain at the C-terminal end. WSB1 promotes cancer progression by affecting the Von Hippel–Lindau tumor suppressor protein (pVHL) and upregulating hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) target gene expression. However, the crystal structure of WSB1 has not been reported, which is not beneficial to the research on WSB1 inhibitors. Therefore, we focused on specific small molecule inhibitors of WSB1. This study applied virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulations; finally, 20 compounds were obtained. Among them, compound G490-0341 showed the best stable structure and was a promising composite for further development of WSB1 inhibitors.
