Product Data
Biological target:
RepSox acts as a potent, selective, reversible, and ATP-competitive inhibitor of TGF-β type I receptor (ALK5; IC50 = 23 nM, 4 nM and 18 nM for ALK5 binding, ALK5 auto-phosphorylation and TGF-β cellular assay in HepG2 cells, respectively). It minimally affects a panel of 9 closely related kinases, including p38 MAPK at IC50 >16 µM.
In vitro activity:
Protein levels of molecules associated with the epithelial‑mesenchymal transition phenotype, including E‑cadherin, N‑cadherin, Vimentin, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)‑2 and MMP‑9, were reduced by RepSox treatment. Reference: Int J Oncol. 2021 Nov;59(5):84. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34533199/
In vivo activity:
RepSox-induced neurons were Calbindin- and nNOS-positive and displayed typical neuronal electrophysiological properties. The administration of RepSox (3, 10 mg· kg-1 ·d-1, i.g.) for 2 weeks significantly promoted the conversion of enteric glial cells to neurons in the enteric nervous system and influenced gastrointestinal motility in adult mice.
