pulmonary fibrosis

Lonidamine (Diclondazolic Acid) is an indazole carboxylic acid derivative, principally inhibiting aerobic glycolytic activity, by its effect on mitochondrially-bound hexokinase (HK).

UNC0379 is a selective, substrate-competitive inhibitor of the lysine methyltransferase (SETD8).

Aviptadil Acetate (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide acetate salt) induces pulmonary vasodilation and inhibits the proliferation of vascular SMCs and platelet aggregation. Avitadil acetate can be used for research on pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension (PAH), and respiratory failure caused by SARS-CoV-2.

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.

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.

Bleomycin sulfate is a glycopeptide antibiotic with antitumor activity. It is commonly used as a DNA-damaging agent and DNA synthesis inhibitor. It functions by inducing DNA strand breaks without affecting RNA strands. Bleomycin sulfate is widely used in cancer research and for establishing pulmonary fibrosis animal models.

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

GLPG1205 is a potent, orally active GPR84 (G protein-coupled receptor) antagonist with anti-inflammatory activity. GLPG1205 shows good PK/PD characteristics and can be used to study pulmonary fibrosis.

LPA1 receptor antagonist 1(LPA1 R antagonist 1) is a selective and potent lysophosphatidic acid (LPA1) receptor antagonist (IC50 : 25 nM) for the study of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

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.

JNJ-49095397 (RV568) is a selective p38 MAPK-α and p38 MAPK--γ kinase inhibitor with anti-inflammatory activity and potential antiviral activity for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and respiratory syncytial virus infection.

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.

Methacycline hydrochloride (Rondomycin) is a broad-spectrum semisynthetic antibiotic related to TETRACYCLINE but excreted more slowly and maintaining effective blood levels for a more extended period.

Amiodarone hydrochloride is an anti-anginal agent and a class III antiarrhythmic drug that inhibits potassium channels (including wild-type hERG channels and their tail currents, with an IC₅₀ of approximately 45 nM) as well as voltage-gated sodium channels. This leads to prolonged action potential duration in ventricular and atrial myocytes, resulting in reduced heart rate and vascular resistance. It activates ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK signaling pathways in fibroblasts, promoting cell proliferation and myofibroblast differentiation. Amiodarone hydrochloride is widely used in the study of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias and can also be used to establish pulmonary fibrosis animal models.

Macitentan (ACT-064992) is an endothelin receptor antagonist utilized in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

BAY-6672 is a selective human prostaglandin F (FP) receptor antagonist that is highly potent (IC50=11 nM), orally available and well permeable. It exerts antifibrotic effects by inhibiting prostaglandin F2α (PGF₂α) activity through antagonizing the FP receptor, and has in vivo efficacy in animal models of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

SSR69071 is a potent, orally active, and selective inhibitor of neutrophil elastase, displaying higher affinity for human elastase (Ki = 0.0168 nM) compared to rat (Ki = 3 nM), mouse (Ki = 1.8 nM), and rabbit (Ki = 58 nM) elastases [2]. It reduces myocardial infarct size following ischemia-reperfusion injury [1] and has potential for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, asthma, emphysema, cystic fibrosis, and various inflammatory diseases.

Rupatadine (UR-12592, rupatadine) is a potent and orally available dual antagonist of PAF and histamine H1 receptors with Ki values of 0.55 μM and 0.1 μM, respectively, which provides relief of allergic symptoms and anti-inflammatory properties, and is used in allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria.

1. Peiminine (Raddeanine) is an effective inhibitor for lung inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis in a rat model of bleomycin-induced lung injury.

Neotuberostemonine (NTS) is one of the main antitussive alkaloids in the root of Stemona tuberosa Lour, it has a significant protective effect on bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis through suppressing the recruitment and M2 polarization of macroph

TGFβ1-IN-2, a derivative of diarylacylhydrazones, effectively inhibits fibroblast activation and proliferation and holds potential for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) research [1].

TGFβ1-IN-3, a diarylhydrazone derivative, inhibits fibroblast activation and proliferation, positioning it as a candidate compound for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Autotaxin-IN-5 is an Autotaxin inhibitor. It has the potential to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Macitentan n-butyl analogue, a derivative of Macitentan, functions as an orally active dual antagonist targeting both endothelin ETA and ETB receptors. This compound shows promise for treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), leveraging its non-peptide structure for potential therapeutic applications.
