Surveying FDA-approved drugs as new potential inhibitors of N-cadherin protein: a virtual screening approach

Since N-cadherin protein plays a remarkable role in cancer metastasis and tumor growth and progression, finding new effective inhibitors of this protein can be of high importance in cancer treatment. Nevertheless, few molecules have been introduced to inhibit N-cadherin protein to date. In this work, in order to find and present potent inhibitors, 3358 FDA-approved small molecules were docked against N-cadherin protein. All complexes with...
