LY-364947 is a selective, ATP-competitive inhibitor of Transforming Growth Factor-β Type I receptor kinase (TGF-β RI, ALK5) with IC50 = 59 nM. It is much less potent at related kinases, with IC50 = 400 nM for TGF-β RII and IC50 = 1400 nM for mixed lineage kinase-7 (MLK-7), a kinase in the MAP kinase signal pathway and closely related to TGF-β RII. LY-364947 inhibits TGF-β-dependent cellular growth (IC50 = 81 nM) in NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblasts.

Pyrazole-based inhibitors of the transforming growth factor-beta type I receptor kinase domain (TbetaR-I) are described. Examination of the SAR in both enzyme- and cell-based in vitro assays resulted in the emergence of two subseries featuring differing selectivity versus p38 MAP

Metastasis is a primary cause of mortality due to cancer. Early metastatic growth involves both a remodeling of the extracellular matrix surrounding tumors and invasion of tumors across the basement membrane. Up-regulation of extracellular matrix degrading proteases such as urokinase
This study evaluates the use of the TGF-β receptor 1 inhibitor LY-364947 (LY) to prevent proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). For the in vitro experiments Human Tenon's Fibroblasts (HTFs) and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells were treated with different concentrations of LY
The selection and validation of stably expressed reference genes is a critical issue for proper RT-qPCR data normalization. In zebrafish expression studies, many commonly used reference genes are not generally applicable given their variability in expression levels under a variety
We describe the discovery, using shape-based virtual screening, of a potent, ATP site-directed inhibitor of the TbetaRI kinase, an important and novel drug target for fibrosis and cancer. The first detailed report of a TbetaRI kinase small molecule co-complex confirms
