LY364947
The multifunctional cytokine transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a member of a large family of growth factors involved in the regulation of a diverse array of biological processes including cell growth and differentiation, matrix modulation, and embryonic development. LY364947 is a inhibitor of the transforming growth factor-β type I receptor kinase domain.
In vitro: LY364947 was quickly identified as a potent inhibitor (IC50= 51 nM) and was chosen as a platform for SAR development. Compounds were further evaluated as inhibitors of TGF-β-dependent luciferase production in mink lung cells (p3TP Lux) and growth in mouse fibroblasts (NIH 3T3) [1].
In vivo: In a rat model of NMDA-induced retinal degeneration, simultaneous injection of NMDA and the TGF-β inhibitor LY364947 slightly but significantly attenuated the reduction in number of cells in the ganglion cell layer and almost completely prevented the enhancement of capillary degeneration. [3].
Clinical trial: Up to now, LY364947 is still in the preclinical development stage.

Filter-binding assay |
The IC50 values of LY364947 at different enzyme concentrations were determined by the filter-binding assay. Typically, 40 μL reactions in 50 mM HEPES at pH 7.5, 1 mM NaF, 200 μM pKSmad3(-3) and 50 mM ATP containing a titration of each inhibitor with concentrations of 1600, 800, 400, 200, 100, 50, 25, and 0 nM were incubated at 30 °C for 30 mins. The IC50 values were calculated using a nonlinear regression method with GraphPad Prism software. The binding type was determined by plotting the correlation between enzyme concentrations and IC50 values. |

Cell lines |
HOXB9-MCF10A cells |
Preparation method |
The solubility of this compound in DMSO is limited. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below - 20 °C for several months. |
Reacting condition |
10 μM; 24 hrs |
Applications |
In HOXB9-MCF10A cells, LY364947 suppressed Smad2 phosphorylation by inhibiting TGF-β activation, meanwhile, without affecting the expression of TGF-β1 and TGF-β2. Besides, LY364947 induced epithelial morphological changes, with re-expression of E-cadherin as well as suppression of fibronectin and vimentin. In addition, LY364947 reduced migration and invasiveness of HOXB9-MCF10A cells. |

Dosage form |
50 nM; 5μL; intravitreal injection |
Applications |
In a rat model of NMDA-induced retinal degeneration, LY364947 significantly suppressed cell loss in the ganglion cell layer induced by NMDA. Besides, LY364947 markedly prevent vascular damage in the injured retina caused by NMDA. In addition, co-treatment with NMDA and LY364947 did not cause any morphological change of NG2-positive pericytes. |
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
