- Abstract
Psoriasis therapy remains an extremely relevant area of modern drug design, due to necessity of adverse reaction reduction, inherent for actual methods of therapy. It was established that two serine proteases—neutrophil elastase 1 (HNE1) and cathepsin G (CatG)—are the key agents in psoriasis development. The collected molecular data for the presented targets form the basis for the molecular modeling strategy for the search for and identification of new target-specific inhibitors. The result of this work is a group of high-priority small-molecule compounds with double-targeted affinity, which are able to suppress the pro-psoriatic processes induced by the considered serine proteases at the initial stage of the disease.
