Derenofylline is a selective and potent adenosine A(1) antagonist in vitro (Ki=1 nM)

Compound 6k, also known as Anti-hepatic fibrosis agent 2, is an orally active inhibitor of the COL1A1 enzyme and exerts anti-fibrogenic effects by targeting the Ewing sarcoma breakpoint region 1 (EWSR1)[1].

SEW 2871 is an orally available, highly selective S1P1 agonist with an EC50 of 13.8 nM.It reduces the number of lymphocytes in the blood and is used in studies related to diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, liver fibrosis, and inflammation. It activates ERK, Akt and Rac signaling pathways and induces S1P1 internalization and recycling.

Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a colorless amine oxide produced from choline, betaine, and carnitine via intestinal microbial metabolism that accumulates in tissues of marine animals and prevents the protein-damaging effects of urea.Trimethylamine N-oxide induces inflammation through activation of ROS NLRP3 inflammasomes, which can induce fibroblast differentiation and cardiac fibrosis.

TD139 is a small molecule inhibitor of inhaled galectin-3 (Gal-3) with potential anti-fibrotic activity, commonly used in the study of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Pirfenidone (AMR69) inhibits the production of CCL2 and CCL12 in fibroblasts and also decreases TGF-β2 protein levels. Pirfenidone is an antifibrotic agent that is commonly used in studies related to pulmonary fibrosis and also has anti-inflammatory activity.

Gadopentetic acid (gadolinium complex) (Gd-DTPA) is an paramagnetic contrast agent commonly implemented by a bolus intravenous injection (i.v.) in Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) studies.

Tauroursodeoxycholate (UR 906), also known as ursodoxicoltaurine, is a highly hydrophilic tertiary bile acid that is produced in humans at a low concentration. Tauroursodeoxycholate is the more hydrophilic form of ursodeoxycholic acid, which is the more abundant naturally produced bile acid in humans.Tauroursodeoxycholate is being investigated for use in several conditions such as Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC), insulin resistance, amyloidosis, Cystic Fibrosis, Cholestasis, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Tezacaftor (VX661) is a small molecule that can be used as a corrector of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene function.

CFTR corrector 4 is a potent and orally available transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) for cystic fibrosis and is a potent (R,R) type active enantiomer. CFTR corrector 4 increases CFTR levels on the cell surface and is a potential compound for the study of cystic fibrosis.

Aucuparin (2,6-dimethoxy-4-phenylphenol) is a plant antibiotic with anti-inflammatory activity. Aucuparin inhibited pulmonary fibrosis in mouse models induced by bleomycin (BLM). ABTS and FRAP showed clear scavenging activity. Aucuparin inhibited superoxide production of human neutrophils induced by fmlp, and its IC50 was 17.0μM.

Autotaxin-IN-4 is an Autotaxin inhibitor. It has the potential to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Ezurpimtrostat (compound 2-2) is employed in research on fibrosis, cancer, autophagy, and diseases associated with cathepsins B (CTSB), L (CTSL), and D (CTSD).

Cavosonstat (N91115) is an orally active S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) inhibitor that promotes cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) maturation and plasma membrane stabilization. As a CFTR stabilizer, Cavosonstat can be used to study cystic fibrosis.

Bamocaftor is a CFTR channel (DeltaF508-CFTR mutation) corrector for CF transmembrane conductance regulators designed to restore F508del-CFTR protein function. Combined use of tezacaftor and VX-561 for the treatment of cystic fibrosis patients with F508del MF.

Bersiporocin is a novel prolyl-tRNA synthetase (PRS) inhibitor that exerts antifibrotic effects through downregulation of collagen synthesis and is well tolerated in the clinic. In cellular and animal models of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), DWN12088 significantly reduced collagen synthesis and improved lung function.

Icosabutate (NST-4016) is an orally active derivative of eicosapentaenoic acid that inhibits hepatic inflammation and fibrosis in NASH, improves cardiovascular risk profiles in statin-treated patients with residual hypertriglyceridemia, lowers triglycerides, and may be useful in studies of liver fibrosis and atherosclerosis.
