Provided are compounds that target the lanthionine synthetase C-like (LANCL) family of proteins, including LANCL2 and LANCL3. The compounds can be used to treat conditions such as inflammatory diseases, metabolic diseases, autoimmune diseases, cancers, and infectious diseases. Exemplary conditions include inflammatory conditions of the liver, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and cirrhosis; inflammatory conditions of the bile duct, such as primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis; inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis; lupus, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, lupus nephritis, and cutaneous lupus; arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis; hyperglycemia, such as type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and prediabetes and associated conditions such as atherosclerosis and diabetic kidney disease; psoriasis; and multiple sclerosis. |
