CCG-100602 aids in preventing fibrosis around the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).[1]
CCG-100602 is a CCG-1423 analog with significantly less cytotoxicity (0/14% WST-1 inhibition by 10/100 μM CCG-100602 vs. 44% by 10 μM CCG-1423) and similar efficacy against Rho/MKL1/SRF pathway-mediated transcription (by 78% with 100 μM CCG-100602 vs. 74% with 10 μM CCG-1423; IC50 = 9.8 μM/CCG-100602 vs. 1.5 μM/CCG-1423; by PC-3 SRE-luciferase assay), albeit at a reduced potency. CCG-100602 reduces the stiffening of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) derived aortic VSMCs (1.12 μM) by inhibiting SRF/myocardin interaction and abrogates the increased aortic wall stiffness in SHR rats in vivo (7.5 mg/kg/d via s.c. osmotic pumps for 2 wks).
CCG-1423 analog with similar efficacy and much less cytotoxicity. Inhibits SRF/myocardin interaction and reduces aortic VSMCs stiffening in vitro and in vivo.
HIV-1 hijacks host cell machinery to ensure successful replication, including cytoskeletal components for intracellular trafficking, nucleoproteins for pre-integration complex import, and the ESCRT pathway for assembly and budding. It is widely appreciated that cellular post-translational modifications (PTMs) regulate protein activity

Radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis is a severe complication of patients treated with thoracic irradiation. We have previously shown that syndecan-2 reduces fibrosis by exerting alveolar epithelial cytoprotective effects. Here, we investigate whether syndecan-2 attenuates radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting fibroblast activation.
Ras homolog gene family, member A (RhoA)/Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase signaling is a key pathway in multiple types of solid organ fibrosis, including intestinal fibrosis. However, the pleiotropic effects of RhoA/Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase signaling have frustrated targeted
We recently identified bis(amide) CCG-1423 (1) as a novel inhibitor of RhoA/C-mediated gene transcription that is capable of inhibiting invasion of PC-3 prostate cancer cells in a Matrigel model of metastasis. An initial structure-activity relationship study focusing on bioisosteric replacement
CCG-1423 (1) is a novel inhibitor of Rho/MKL1/SRF-mediated gene transcription that inhibits invasion of PC-3 prostate cancer cells in a Matrigel model of metastasis. We recently reported the design and synthesis of conformationally restricted analogs (e.g., 2) with improved selectivity
