Balicatib (AAE581) is a potent and selective inhibitor of cathepsin K, used in trials studying the treatment of osteoporosis.

Addition of the Rhamnose (6-Deoxy-L-mannose)-rich polysaccharide, RROP-1, to normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs) and human endothelial cells produced a dose-dependent stimulation of the calcium-signaling pathway, inducing fast and transient increases in Ca2 influx and intracellular free Ca2 level.

(E)-SIS3 (SIS3), a selective Smad3 inhibitor, can attenuate TGF-β1-dependent Smad3 phosphorylation and DNA binding. It has no effect on p38 MAPK, Smad2, ERK or PI3K signaling. It also inhibits TGF-β1-induced myofibroblast differentiation of dermal fibroblasts and inhibits TGF-β2-induced endothelial cell differentiation in iPSCs.

Regaloside I is the monomeric component in lily. Regaloside I could be the main constituent in protecting human dermal fibroblasts from UVA-induced morphological changes [1].

Capsorubin is a carotenoid with a variety of biological activities. capsorubin inhibited lipid peroxidation induced by 2,2′-azino(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) (AMVN) at a concentration of 167 μM. capsorubin (1 μM) reduced uvb-induced DNA strand breaks and apoptosis in human dermal fibroblasts. formation. It also inhibited the activation of ebvirus early antigen (EBV-EA) induced by 12-carnosine 13-acetate fobo in Raji cells.

Pal-KTTKS is a lipidated pentapeptide consisting of a fragment of the type I collagen C-terminal propeptide conjugated to palmitic acid .1 It increases collagen production in human corneal and dermal fibroblasts when used at concentrations of 0.002, 0.004, and 0.008 wt%.2 Following topical administration, pal-KTTKS (50 μg/cm2) is found in the stratum corneum, epidermis, and dermis of isolated hairless mouse skin.1 It can self-assemble into flat tapes and extended fibrillar structures.3 Pal-KTTKS has been detected in anti-wrinkle creams.4 |1.

Nemorosone is a polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol (PPAP) originally isolated from C. rosea that has antiproliferative properties.1 Nemorosone inhibits growth of NB69, Kelly, SK-N-AS, and LAN-1 neuroblastoma cells (IC50s = 3.1-6.3 μM), including several drug-resistant clones, but not MRC-5 human embryonic fibroblasts (IC50 = >40 μM).2 It increases DNA fragmentation in LAN-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and decreases N-Myc protein levels and phosphorylation of ERK1/2 by MEK1/2. Nemorosone also inhibits growth of Capan-1, AsPC-1, and MIA-PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells (IC50s = 4.5-5.0 μM following a 72-hour treatment) but not human dermal and foreskin fibroblasts (IC50s = >35 μM).1 It induces apoptosis, abolishes the mitochondrial membrane potential, and increases cytosolic calcium concentration in pancreatic cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. Nemorosone activates the caspase cascade in a dose-dependent manner and inhibits cell cycle progression, increasing the proportion of cells in the G0/G1 phase, in both neuroblastoma and pancreatic cancer cells.1,2 Nemorosone (50 mg/kg, i.p., per day) also reduces tumor growth in an MIA-PaCa-2 mouse xenograft model.3References1.

PF-03671148 is a potent ALK inhibitor. PF-03671148 inhibits the expression of fibrotic genes and protein markers both in vitro in human fibroblasts and in vivo in a rat wound repair model. Wound healing is not inhibited by the topical application of the ALK5 inhibitor to the wound. PF-03671148 may have potential utility for the prevention of dermal scarring.

Anticancer agent 136 (compound 22), a C17-triazole analogue of Geldanamycin (GDM), exhibits an IC50 value of 3.38 μM against human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) and binds to Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 3.86 μM, demonstrating its apoptosis-inducing capabilities [1].

3,3′-Bisdemethylpinoresinol, a natural lignin derivative, exhibits MMP-1 inhibitory activity in UVA-irradiated human dermal fibroblasts and can be isolated from the seeds of Morinda citrifolia [1].

H-Gly-Pro-Hyp-OH is a potent and orally available anti-photoaging collagen peptide that attenuates inflammation and reduces MMP-1 and MMP-3 levels; attenuates H2O2-induced aging of dermal fibroblasts; restores cortisol-mediated inhibition of type I collagen and GR activation and (TGF)-β signaling signaling, among other things; and improves the hydration of human skin, elasticity and anti-wrinkle properties.

Tiger17, a cyclic peptide derivative of tigerinin-RC1 and tigerinin-RC2—antimicrobial peptides from the crab-eating frog (F. cancrivora) skin secretions—enhances HaCaT keratinocytes and human skin fibroblasts proliferation at 5 to 20 µg/ml concentrations, and promotes HaCaT cell migration at 20 µg/ml. Additionally, Tiger17 augments RAW 264.7 macrophages' recruitment and secretion of TGF-β1 and IL-6. When topically applied at 20 µg/ml, it accelerates wound closure and re-epithelialization in a mouse model of full-thickness dermal wounds.
