| Bioactivity | CCG-100602 is a specific inhibitor of myocardin-related transcription factor A/serum response factor (MRTF-A/SRF) signaling. CCG-100602 specifically block MRTF-A nuclear localization and thus inhibit the fibrogenic transcription factor SRF[1][2]. |
| Invitro | CCG-100602 (3-30 μM) decreases the number of adherent hASC cells[2]. CCG-100602 blocks the expression of MRTF-A/SRF-activated genes[2]. CCG-100602 (5-40 μM) diminishes the TGF-β1 (5 ng/mL)-induced increase in COL1A1, FN1, and ACTA2 transcription in a dose-dependent manner[1].CCG-100602 (5-40 μM) reduces the TGF-β1-induced increase in MRTFA and SRF mRNA expression in the HIMFs in a dose-dependent manner [1].CCG-100602 (5-40 μM) significantly reduces the protein expression levels of the ECM and α-SMA in TGF-β1 (5 ng/mL)-stimulated cells in a dose-dependent manner[1].CCG-100602 (5-40 μM) also significantly represses the MRTF-A and SRF protein expression, which were induced by TGF-β1, in the nuclear fraction of the HIMFs in a dose-responsive manner[1].

| In Vivo | Treatment with CCG-100602 (7.5 mg/kg/day, continuously administered for 2 weeks by osmotic minipumps) abrogates the increase of aortic stiffness represented by reduced arterial compliance and strain, indicating a significant anti-stiffening effect resulting from the inhibition of SRF/myocardin[3].
