| Bioactivity | SB-431542 is a TGF-β receptor kinase inhibitor (TRKI). SB-431542 has inhibitory activity for ALK4, ALK5 and ALK7 with IC50 values of 1 μM, 0.75 μM and 2 μM, respectively. SB-431542 also inhibits TGF-β-induced transcription, gene expression, apoptosis, and growth suppression. SB-431542 can be used for the research of cancer and signal transduction pathways[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | SB-431542 can inhibit the activity for ALK4, ALK5 and ALK7 with IC50 values of 1 μM, 0.75 μM and 2 μM, respectively[1].SB-431542 (0- 10 μM; 24 h) inhibits ALK5 and also the activin type I receptor ALK4 and the nodal type I receptor ALK7, which are very highly related to ALK5 in their kinase domains[1]. SB-431542 (0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, or 10 μM; 30 min) efficiently inhibits Smad phosphorylation induced by TGF-β and activin but not BMP4[1].SB-431542 (0-10 μM) inhibits TGF-beta-induced transcription, gene expression, apoptosis, and growth suppression[2].
