General description
A cell permeable imidazoxanthine shown to decrease TGF-β stimulated reporter activity in a dose-dependent manner in HEK293 reporter cells, with an IC50 of 4.1 µM without cell cytotoxicity. Inhibits TGF-β receptor I (TβRI) and TGF-β receptor II (TβRII) expression and its downstream Smad2 and Smad3 phosphorylation as well as JNK and ERK activity. In addition, it elicits TGF-β-induced fibroblast differentiation with attenuated expression of several fibrotic markers such as α-SMA and fibronectin, and suppresses collagen accumulation in CCD-18Lu human normal lung fibroblasts.
