GPR35 Inhibitors

GPR35 inhibitors, as a class, encompass a variety of compounds that indirectly modulate the function of GPR35, a G protein-coupled receptor involved in diverse biological processes. These inhibitors act primarily by targeting signaling pathways and molecular processes that are downstream or closely related to GPR35 activation. The inhibitors range from broad-spectrum kinase inhibitors like Staurosporine, which can influence multiple signaling cascades potentially linked to GPR35, to more specific pathway inhibitors such as LY294002 and Wortmannin, which target the PI3K/Akt pathway. In addition to these, MEK inhibitors like U0126 and PD98059 are included due to their role in modulating the MAPK/ERK pathway, a signaling cascade that can be affected by GPR35 activation. Similarly, mTOR inhibitor Rapamycin and p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 are considered for their potential impact on cellular processes downstream of GPR35. The inclusion of inhibitors targeting JNK (SP600125), protein kinase C (Go 6983), and ROCK (Y-27632) further exemplifies the diverse range of signaling mechanisms that could be influenced by GPR35 activity. Additionally, compounds like BIM 23056 and GW5074 are considered for their potential to modulate related G protein-coupled receptor functions and associated signaling pathways.
