| Biological activity | SB525334 is a potent and selective inhibitor of TGFβ receptor I (ALK5) with IC50 of 14.3 nM in a cell-free assay, 4-fold less potent to ALK4 than ALK5 and inactive to ALK2, 3, and 6. |
| In vitro | SB 525334 shows no inhibition in the enzymes ALK2, 3, and 6, with IC50 values > 10 μM. SB 525334 blocks phosphorylation induced by TGF-β1 and nuclear translocation of Smad2/3 in renal proximal tubule cells. SB 525334 also inhibits the increased mRNA expression levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and procollagen α1(I) induced by TGF-β1 in A498 renal epithelial carcinoma cells at 1 μM). SB 525334 (1 μM) attenuates the heightened sensitivity to TGF-β1 exhibited by pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) from patients with familial forms of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). |
| In vivo | SB 525334 (10 mg/kg/day) decreases the renal mRNA levels of PAI-1, procollagen α1(I), and procollagen α1(III) in a nephritis-induced renal fibrosis rat model. Furthermore, PAN-induced proteinuria is significantly inhibited by SB 525334 (10 mg/kg/day). SB 525334 may also be efficacious in mesenchymal tumors. SB 525334 (10 mg/kg/day) significantly decreases uterine mesenchymal tumor incidence, multiplicity, and size in Eker rats. SB 525334 significantly reverses pulmonary arterial pressure and inhibits right ventricular hypertrophy in a rat model of PAH. This is revealed by a significant reduction in pulmonary arteriole muscularization induced by monocrotaline (used to induce PAH) after treatment with SB 525334 (3 or 30 mg/kg). In a Bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis mice model, SB 525334 (10 mg/kg or 30 mg/kg) attenuates the histopathological alterations in the lung, and significantly decreased mRNA expression of Type I and III procollagen and fibronectin. SB 525334 also attenuates Smad2/3 nuclear translocation, myofibroblast proliferation, deposition of Type I collagen, and decreases CTGF-expressing cells. |

| Description | SB-525334 is a potent inhibitor of the TGF-β receptor 1 (TGF-β R1, ALK5) kinase (IC50 = 14.36 nM). It is ~4-fold less effective against ALK4 and inactive against ALK2, ALK3, and ALK6. SB-525334 blocks TGF-β1-induced phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of SMAD2/3 as well as TGF-β1-directed gene expression. It is effective in vivo, preventing puromycin aminonucleoside-induced renal fibrosis and bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. SB-525334 also modulates carcinogenesis and suppresses the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension in animals. |
