Collagen IV Inhibitor

NSC 90469 (3,5-Diiodo-L-thyronine) is an orally active thyroid hormone derivative. NSC 90469 inhibits JNK phosphorylation and NF-κB acetylation, blocks SIRT1 protein expression, induces elevated PGC-1α levels, and stimulates COX activity. NSC 90469 enhances UCP1-mediated thermogenesis, increases hepatic Dio1 activity, inhibits TSH levels and hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis function, enhances lipid metabolism, and regulates energy metabolism via the mitochondrial pathway. NSC 90469 prevents blood glucose reduction, reduces urinary albumin excretion, inhibits renal matrix expansion, decreases TGF-β1 expression, and reduces renal fibronectin and type Ⅳ collagen deposition. NSC 90469 also increases energy expenditure and prevents diet-induced overweight. NSC 90469 can be used in studies related to diabetic nephropathy, hypothyroidism, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and diet-induced obesity.

LM9 is a potent, orally active MyD88 inhibitor. LM9 blocks TLR4/MyD88 binding, MyD88 homodimer formation, and TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway activation. LM9 prevents atherosclerosis by regulating inflammatory responses and oxidative stress in macrophages. LM9 efficiently mitigates inflammatory responses and fibrosis in obesity-induced cardiomyopathy. LM9 can be used for fibrosis and atherosclerosis research.
