HIPK2-IN-1
HIPK2-IN-1 is an orally active and selective HIPK2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.56 μM. HIPK2-IN-1 exerts antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory activities. HIPK2-IN-1 binds to HIPK2, inhibits the downstream TGF‑β/Smad3, p53, and TNF‑α/NF‑κB signaling pathways, reduces the expression of fibrotic markers, suppresses cell proliferation and migration, and alleviates renal tubular injury and collagen deposition. HIPK2-IN-1 is used for the study of renal fibrosis associated with chronic kidney disease.

In Vitro
HIPK2-IN-1 (AF-2) effectively inhibits HIPK2 with an IC50 of 0.56 μM, and exhibits significantly improved selectivity for HIPK2 compared with the closely related HIPK1 (IC50 = 19.36 μM) and HIPK3 (IC50 = 15.08 μM) isoforms[1].
HIPK2-IN-1 (1-5 μM; 48 h) exhibits low cytotoxicity against NRK-49F cells, with an IC50 of 2.51 μM when cells are stimulated with 10 ng/mL TGF-β1[1].
HIPK2-IN-1 (5 μM; 24 h) directly binds to endogenous HIPK2 protein in TGF-β1-stimulated NRK-49F cells and HK-2 human proximal tubular epithelial cells, and this effect is confirmed by the increased thermal stability of HIPK2 following compound exposure[1].
HIPK2-IN-1 (1-5 μM; 24 h) inhibits the profibrotic TGF-β/Smad3 and p53 signaling pathways and downregulates the expression of fibrosis-related proteins in TGF-β1-stimulated NRK-49F cells[1].
HIPK2-IN-1 (1-5 μM; 24 h) inhibits TGF-β/Smad3-mediated profibrotic signaling and reduces the expression of fibrotic markers in TGF-β1-stimulated human HK-2 renal tubular epithelial cells; it also blocks the NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway[1].
HIPK2-IN-1 (1-2 μM; 10-14 days) effectively inhibits the colony-forming proliferative capacity of TGF-β1-stimulated NRK-49F cells[1].
HIPK2-IN-1 (2.5-5 μM; 24 h) effectively blocks the migration of TGF-β1-stimulated NRK-49F fibroblasts[1].
HIPK2-IN-1 exhibits excellent in vitro stability in human liver microsomes and shows moderate, species-dependent metabolic turnover rates in liver microsomes from rats, mice, dogs, and cynomolgus monkeys[1].

Parmacokinetics
In Vivo
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Animal Model:Male C57BL/6J mice (7 weeks old) were fed with 0.2% Adenine (HY-B0152)‑containing diet[1]
-
Dosage:50, 100 mg/kg
-
Administration:Oral gavage; once daily; for 4 weeks
-
Result:Produced dose‑dependent renal‑protective and anti‑fibrotic effects versus adenine‑model controls.
50 mg/kg mitigated renal tubular injury and collagen deposition, as validated by improved histopathological lesions and reduced fibrotic area in H&E and Masson trichrome staining.
100 mg/kg yielded stronger effects with further alleviation of tubular damage and interstitial collagen accumulation.
