Galunisertib (LY2157299) is an orally active multikinase inhibitor (IC50 in nM = 80/ALK4, 170/TGFβR1, 210/TGβ?R2, 190/MINK (MAP4K6), 220/RIP2 (RIPK2), 260/CK1α, 280/MEKKK4, 310/GAK, 400/CK1ε, 470/ALK6 (BMPR1B), 500/B-raf, 510/TNIK) mostly cited for its ALK4 & TGFbeta (TGFβ) receptors (TGFβ-RI (ALK5) & TGFβ-RII) inhibitory activity and anticancer efficacy in vitro (0.1-10 μM) and in vivo (20-100 mg/kg p.o.; mice).
Orally active multikinase inhibitor best known for its ALK4, TGFbeta receptors TGFβ-RI (ALK5) & TGFβ-RII activity and anticancer efficacy in vitro and in vivo.
Galunisertib (Gal) is a transforming growth factor (TGF-β) blockade which is being investigated as a potential tumor immunotherapy candidate drug in clinical trials. However, primary or acquired resistance is often found in the recruited cancer patients, which limits its clinical

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling regulates a wide range of biological processes. TGF-β plays an important role in tumorigenesis and contributes to the hallmarks of cancer, including tumor proliferation, invasion and metastasis, inflammation, angiogenesis, and escape of immune surveillance. There
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), such as anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 Abs, have shown efficacy for the treatment of various cancers. Although research has actively sought to develop new ICIs and immunomodulators, no efficient in vitro assay system is available to evaluate

Galunisertib (LY2157299), a promising small-molecule inhibitor of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) receptor, is currently in mono- and combination therapy trials for various cancers including glioblastoma, hepatocellular carcinoma and breast cancer. Using genetically modified mouse models, we investigated the roles

The epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a physiological multistep process involving epithelial cells acquiring a mesenchymal-like phenotype. It is widely demonstrated that EMT is linked to tumor progression and metastasis. The transforming growth factor (TGF)-β pathways have been widely investigated
