The class of chemicals known as Cdhr18 inhibitors is a group of compounds that can indirectly interfere with the function of cadherin-related family member 18 through various intracellular pathways and processes. These inhibitors do not directly target CDHR18 but can affect its function by altering the cellular environment or signaling pathways that cadherins depend on. For example, chelating agents such as EDTA and EGTA can disrupt the critical calcium-dependent conformation of cadherins necessary for their adhesive functions. This disruption can lead to altered cadherin-mediated cell-cell interactions, which are essential for maintaining tissue architecture and cellular communication.
On the other hand, compounds that affect the actin cytoskeleton, such as Cytochalasin D and Latrunculin A, can impact the structural support that cadherins require for their cell surface localization and stability. Inhibitors of signaling pathways that intersect with cadherin function, such as GW5074 and XAV-939, can also modulate the expression levels or the adhesive activity of cadherins. In addition, chemicals like Y-27632 and ML-7, which target proteins involved in cytoskeletal dynamics, can indirectly influence the mechanical forces that are transmitted through cadherin junctions.
