Bioactivity | ENMD-1068 hydrochloride is a selective protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) antagonist. ENMD-1068 hydrochloride reduces hepatic stellate cell activation and collagen expression by inhibiting TGF-β1/Smad signaling. ENMD-1068 hydrochloride also inhibits the proliferation of endometrial cells and induces apoptosis of epithelial cells in the lesion. ENMD-1068 hydrochloride can be used in the study of endometriosis and liver fibrosis[1][2]. |
Invitro | ENMD-1068 (10 mM; 24 h) blocks TGF-β1/Smad signaling in primary mouse HSCs (TGF-β1/Smad signal pathway plays a crucial role in HSCs activation and collagen production)[1].ENMD-1068 (10 mM) inhibits trypsin or SLIGRL-NH2 stimulated calcium release in HSCs[1]. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: |
In Vivo | ENMD-1068 (25, 50 mg/kg; i.p.; twice per week for 4 weeks) inhibits liver fibrosis of mice[1].ENMD-1068 (25, 50 mg/kg; i.p.; single daily for 5 days) inhibits endometriosis growth and suppresses the levels of IL-6 and MCP-1 in a dose-dependent manner[2].ENMD-1068 (25, 50 mg/kg; i.p.; single daily for 5 days) causes a decrease in epithelial cell proliferation and an increase in the apoptotic index in mice[2].
