cb1158

Numidargistat dihydrochloride (CB-1158 dihydrochloride) is an orally active and highly effective arginase (ARG1) inhibitor, an immuno-oncology agent that inhibits TGF-β2-induced subcapsular cataract by reducing the proliferation of lens epithelial cells (LEC) and decreasing the expression of fibronectin, α-SMA, collagen 1A1, and vimentin.

CB-1158 is a potent and orally bioavailable inhibitor of arginase (IC50s: 86 and 296 nM for recombinant human arginase 1 and 2).

BRN-103 was found to suppress the VEGF-induced phosphorylation of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGR2) and the activations of AKT and eNOS. Taken together, these results suggest that BRN-103 inhibits VEGF-mediated angiogenesis signaling in human endothelial cells.
