3-(6-甲基-2-吡啶基)-N-苯基-4-(4-喹啉基)-1H-吡唑-1-硫代甲酰胺

A 83-01 is a potent inhibitor of TGF-β type I receptor ALK5 kinase, ALK4 and ALK7, reduces the level of ALK-5-induced transcription with an IC ₅₀ of 12 nM in Mv1Lu cells, also blocks the ALK4-TD and ALK7-TD induced transcription with IC ₅₀ s of 45 nM and 7.5 nM in R4-2 cells, and weakly suppresses that induced by constitutively active ALK-6, ALK-2, ALK-3, and ALK-1. A 83-01 (0.03-10 µM) potently prevents the growth-inhibitory effects of TGF-β, and completely inhibits the effect at 3 µM. A 83-01 (1-10 µM) inhibits TGF-β-induced Smad activation in HaCaT cells. A 83-01 (1 µM) decreases cell motility, adhesion and invasion increased by TGF-β1 in HM-1 cells, but does not change cell proliferation.

A 83-01 (50, 150 and 500 μg/mouse, i.p.) significantly improves survival of the mice without body weight or neurobehavioral appearances. A 83-01 (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.) shows a significantly strong antitumor effect in mice bearing M109 cells.
