Cover Story: IKKβ has been the historical focus of drug development pipelines aimed at inhibiting canonical NF-κB activity. However, to date, no IKKβ inhibitors have been clinically approved. This review will outline the latest efforts to design highly selective IKKβ inhibitors. With a focus on cancer therapy, we will also discuss possible reasons for their lack of clinical success, the current barriers to clinical approval, recent opportunities for their therapeutic utilization, and alternate strategies to inhibit NF-κB activity that may prove more tractable than direct IKKβ inhibition.
