Identification of Novel Compounds That Bind to the HGF β-Chain In Silico, Verification by Molecular Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics, and Validation of Their HGF Inhibitory Activity In Vitro

The development of small-molecule drugs targeting growth factors for cancer therapy remains a significant challenge, with only limited successful cases. We attempted to identify hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) inhibitors as novel anti-cancer small-molecule drugs. To identify compounds that bind to th...
