QUICK LINKS

SB 431542 is a small molecule that acts as a specific and selective inhibitor of TGF-β (transforming growth factor-β) superfamily type I activin receptor-like kinase (ALK) receptors ALK4, 5, and 7. Renal carcinoma studies have demonstrated that SB 431542 is a selective inhibitor of Smad3 phosphorylation (IC50= 94nM) and TGF-β-1 collagen induced lα1 (col Iα1). It has been reported that SB 431542 does not affect the JNK, ERK, or p38 MAP kinase pathways. SB 431542 may act to suppress TGF-β induced growth stimulation in MG63 cells, inhibit the motility and proliferation of glioma cells, and block the phosphorylation and translocation of SMADs. SB 431542 is also known as 4-[4-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]benzamide, TGF-β RI Kinase Inhibitor VI, and ALK inhibitor.
