🧪 Overview

Chronic glial NF-κB activation drives cytokine-mediated dopaminergic toxicity. IKKβ inhibition theoretically reduces neuroinflammation but faces severe safety liabilities (immunosuppression, malignancy risk) and complete absence of human validation, compounded by failed NF-κB-targeting trials in ALS/MS.

🧬 Mechanism

No curated mechanism pathway recorded for this hypothesis.
