Identification of novel TMEM16A blockers through integrated virtual screening, molecular dynamics, and experimental studies

Abstract The calcium-activated chloride channel TMEM16A is a promising drug target for treating hypertension, secretory diarrheas, and various cancers, including head and neck cancer. Despite its potential, no FDA-approved drugs have provided the structural basis for directly inhibiting TMEM16A. Thi...
