NET1 Inhibitors

NET1 inhibitors listed above primarily focus on chemicals that indirectly modulate the function or activity of NET1 through targeting pathways and cellular processes associated with its role in actin cytoskeleton organization and cell migration. The inhibitors include small molecule inhibitors, actin dynamics modulators, and kinase inhibitors, each with distinct modes of action. The small molecule inhibitors such as Y-27632, CCG-1423, NSC23766, ML141, Rhosin, Fasudil, and Thiazovivin target specific enzymes or proteins in the Rho GTPase family signaling pathways. For example, Y-27632 and Fasudil, as ROCK inhibitors, can alter downstream signaling of Rho GTPases, which are crucial for actin cytoskeleton dynamics and cell migration, processes where NET1 is involved. CCG-1423 affects the transcriptional activity related to Rho/MKL1/SRF, which can indirectly modulate NET1's functional pathways.

Actin dynamics modulators like SMIFH2, CK-666, and Latrunculin A directly influence the actin cytoskeleton organization. SMIFH2 inhibits formin, CK-666 targets the Arp2/3 complex, and Latrunculin A disrupts actin polymerization. These modulators can indirectly affect NET1 function by altering the overall dynamics of actin cytoskeleton, which is a critical aspect of NET1's role in cells. Kinase inhibitors such as PD0325901 and myosin II inhibitor Blebbistatin also play a role in modulating pathways where NET1 is involved. PD0325901, by inhibiting MEK, can influence signaling pathways related to cell adhesion and migration, while Blebbistatin, by inhibiting myosin II, impacts processes involving cellular contractility and motility.
