TGF-β/Smad Inhibitors

TGF-β/Smad inhibitors block transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling at its receptor kinases or Smad proteins. TGF-β binds a type II receptor kinase, which then phosphorylates the type I receptor, activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5). The activated type I receptor phosphorylates Smad2 and Smad3, which join Smad4 and move into the nucleus to regulate transcription. SB 431542 and A 83-01 inhibit ALK5 together with the related receptors ALK4 and ALK7. RepSox and galunisertib also target the TGF-β type I receptor, while SIS3 blocks Smad3 downstream. LDN193189 instead inhibits ALK2 and ALK3, type I receptors for bone morphogenetic proteins.
