TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2
TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 is an orally active antifibrotic agent. TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 has high affinity for VDR and can inhibit the TGFβ/SMAD3 signaling pathway. TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 inhibits hepatic stellate cell activation, reduces extracellular matrix deposition, and alleviates liver fibrosis in a bile duct ligation mouse model. TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 can be used for the research of liver fibrosis.

Biological Activity
TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 (compound D13) (0.1 μM; 24 h) significantly downregulates the Collagen I (COL1A1) and α-SMA (ACTA2) markers in TGF-β1-induced human LX-2 hepatic stellate cells (HSCs)[1].
TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 exhibits extremely low cytotoxicity in human hepatic stellate cell line LX-2, with an IC50 > 50 μM[1].
TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 (0.1 μM; 48 h) induces 654 downregulated differentially expressed genes and 507 upregulated DEGs in TGF-β1-stimulated human hepatic stellate cell line LX-2, among which core fibrotic genes (COL1A1, COL1A2, COL3A1) are significantly downregulated, with significant enrichment in the TGF-β signaling pathway, ECM-receptor interaction pathway and Hippo signaling pathway[1].
TGF-β1/Smad3-IN-2 promotes the direct interaction between VDR and SMAD3 proteins in human hepatic stellate cell line LX-2[1].
