HIPK2-IN-2
HIPK2-IN-2 is an orally active and selective HIPK2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.36 μM against HIPK2. HIPK2-IN-2 reduces HIPK2 protein expression levels. HIPK2-IN-2 inhibits the proliferation and migration of renal interstitial fibroblasts, alleviates renal tubular injury and collagen deposition, and suppresses TGF-β/Smad3-mediated profibrotic signaling pathways as well as TNF-α/NF-κB-mediated inflammatory signaling pathways in renal cells. HIPK2-IN-2 is used for the study of chronic kidney disease-associated renal fibrosis.

In Vitro
HIPK2-IN-2 (AF-1) effectively inhibits HIPK2 with an IC50 of 0.36 μM, and exhibits significantly improved selectivity for HIPK2 compared to the closely related HIPK1 (IC50 = 18.41 μM) and HIPK3 (IC50 = 23.32 μM) isoforms[1].
HIPK2-IN-2 (1-5 μM; 48 h) exhibits low cytotoxicity against NRK-49F cells, with an IC50 of 2.28 μM when cells are stimulated with 10 ng/mL TGF-β1[1].
HIPK2-IN-2 (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-2 (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-2 (1-2 μM; 10-14 days) effectively inhibits the colony-forming proliferation capacity of TGF-β1-stimulated NRK-49F cells[1].
HIPK2-IN-2 (2.5-5 μM; 24 h) effectively blocks the migration of TGF-β1-stimulated NRK-49F fibroblasts[1].

Parmacokinetics
In Vivo
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Animal Model:C57BL/6J mice (7 weeks old) were fed with 0.2% Adenine (HY-B0152)‑containing diet[1]
-
Dosage:50 mg/kg, 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.
Alleviated renal tubular injury and collagen deposition at 50 mg/kg, as validated by improved histopathological lesions and reduced fibrotic area in H&E and Masson trichrome staining.
Yielded stronger effects with further alleviation of tubular damage and renal interstitial collagen accumulation at 100 mg/kg.
