FGF-BP3 Inhibitors

FGF-BP3 inhibitors encompass a collection of chemicals that, while not directly targeting FGF-BP3, can modulate the broader FGF signaling pathways in which FGF-BP3 is involved. The essence of these compounds is their ability to interfere with various components of the FGF signaling process. For instance, SU5402, PD173074, and BGJ398 are all inhibitors of FGF receptor kinases. By inhibiting these kinases, the bioavailability and action of FGFs, which FGF-BP3 influences, are indirectly affected.

Other compounds like Galunisertib, SP600125, and U0126 engage with associated signaling pathways that are intricately connected with FGF signaling. Galunisertib, targeting TGF-beta receptor I kinase, operates on the premise that FGF and TGF-beta pathways can often intertwine in cellular processes. Meanwhile, SP600125 and U0126 target elements of the MAPK pathway, a downstream pathway activated by FGF signaling. Sorafenib and Dovitinib have broader kinase inhibition profiles and thus can create a multi-pronged disruption of FGF-related processes.
