AXL-IN-13 is a potent and orally active AXL inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.6 nM and a Kd of 0.26 nM. It exhibits anticancer activity, reverses TGF-β1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and inhibits cancer cell migration and invasion.

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.

KY-05009 is a chemical compound that effectively suppresses TGF-β1-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human lung adenocarcinoma cells, reduces TNIK protein expression and the transcriptional activity of Wnt target genes, and promotes apoptosis in cancer cells, displaying anti-cancer properties. Furthermore, it functions as an ATP-competitive Traf2- and Nck-interacting kinase (TNIK) inhibitor with a Ki of 100 nM.

DT-6, a potent TGF-β1 inhibitor, impedes M2 macrophage-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and the invasive migration of cancer cells, thereby showing potential for cancer research applications [1].

β-Carboline-1-carboxylic acid is an alkaloid that has been found in P. quassioides and has diverse biological activities. It reduces LPS-induced increases in MCP-1, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β levels in RAW 264.7 cells when used at a concentration of 15 µg ml and inhibits the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by TGF-β1 in A549 cells. β-Carboline-1-carboxylic acid induces cytotoxicity in CT26.WT, K562, and SGC-7901 cells (IC50s = 14.96, 22.11, and 19.7 µg ml, respectively) but not HepG2 or A549 cells (IC50s = 36.41 and 41.51 µg ml, respectively). It also inhibits cAMP phosphodiesterase with an IC50 value of 96 µM.

EW-7195 is a selective and potent inhibitor of ALK5 (TGFβR1) with an IC50 value of 4.83 nM.EW-7195 has an affinity for ALK5 that is more than 300-fold higher than that of p38α.EW-7195 has an inhibitory effect on TGF-β1-induced Smad signaling, epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), and breast cancer metastasis to the lungs.

Sulindac (sodium) (MK-231) is an orally active nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent. Sulindac (sodium) is used to reduce pain, swelling, and joint stiffness from arthritis. Sulindac is also used for the research of arthritis of the spine, gouty arthritis. Sulindac (sodium), as an immunomodulatory agent, can downregulate PD-L1 through the blockade of NF-κB signaling and modulates the response of pMMR colorectal cancer (CRC) to anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy, inhibits the development and progression of colorectal cancer CRC. Sulindac (sodium) also inhibits TGF-β1- induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and suppresses lung cancer cell migration and invasion via downregulation of SIRT1 [1] [2].

STAT3-IN-15, a potent and orally active inhibitor targeting STAT3, effectively combats idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) by hindering STAT3 phosphorylation. Additionally, it impedes TGF-β1-induced migration and deformation of epithelial cells and prevents epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), offering a multifaceted approach against IPF.

JNK-1-IN-4 (Compound E1) is an inhibitor of JNK, targeting JNK-1, JNK-2, and JNK-3 with IC50 values of 2.7, 19.0, and 9.0 nM, respectively. This compound inhibits the phosphorylation of c-Jun and reduces the expression of TGF-β1-induced EMT markers (such as fibronectin and α-SMA). JNK-1-IN-4 exhibits favorable pharmacokinetic properties with a bioavailability of 69%. Additionally, it demonstrates antifibrotic effects in a Bleomycin-induced mouse model of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

FGFRs-IN-1 (Compound A16) is an orally active inhibitor targeting FGFR1 2 3 4, with IC50 values of 2.3, 7, 11, and 163 nM respectively. It also inhibits VEGFR1 2 3, Abl, and Flt3, with IC50 values of 61, 176, 112, 26, and 353 nM. The compound shows weak inhibition of CYP enzymes. FGFRs-IN-1 reduces the expression of α-SMA and collagen I, and it inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in A549 cells stimulated by TGF-β1. Additionally, FGFRs-IN-1 demonstrates anti-inflammatory activity in mouse models of lung fibrosis induced by Bleomycin and liver fibrosis induced by CCl4.

Isoviolanthin reduces the migratory and invasive capacities of TGF-β1-treated HCC cells without cytotoxic effects on normal live cells and has potential as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of advanced-stage metastatic HCC. Isoviolanthin is a flavonoid glycoside extracted from the leaves of Dendrobium Officinale.
