Col003 is a cell penetrant, selective and potent inhibitor of the interaction of Hsp47 with collagen. It binds to the collagen binding site on Hsp47. Col003 inhibits a collagen secretion by destabilization the collagen triple helix. Additionally Col003 weakly inhibits interaction of collagen with prolyl 4-hydroxylase (P4H).

Fibrosis can disrupt tissue structure and integrity and impair organ function. Fibrosis is characterized by abnormal collagen accumulation in the extracellular matrix. Pharmacological inhibition of collagen secretion therefore represents a promising strategy for the management of fibrotic disorders, such as
