Application

SB-525334 was used to study TGFβ1-mediated human trophoblast differentiation.7

Biochem/physiol Actions

SB-525334 blocks the activation of Smad2/3 induced by TGFβ1 in renal proximal tubule cells.4 The sensitivity of TGFβ1 is decreased by SB-525334 that benefits the pulmonary arterial hypertension condition by reversing the pulmonary arterial pressure.5 SB-525334 is reduces the tumor incidence and size of mesenchymal tumors such as uterine leiomyoma.6
SB-525334 is a potent activin receptor-like kinase (ALK5)/ type I TGFβ-receptor kinase inhibitor with IC50 = 14.3 nM.

SB-525334 (6-[2-tert-butyl-5-(6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl]-quinoxaline) has been characterized as a potent and selective inhibitor of the transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) receptor, activin receptor-like kinase (ALK5). The compound inhibited ALK5 kinase activity with an IC(50) of 14.3 nM and was approximately 4-fold less potent
