Abstract
Staying in the pocket: A cyclometalated iridium(III) biquinoline complex targets the protein-protein interface (see picture; C yellow, N blue, Ir dark green) of the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) trimer. Molecular-modeling studies confirm the nature of this interaction. Both enantiomers of the iridium complex display comparable in vitro potency to the strongest small-molecule inhibitor of TNF-α.
