LY364947 CAS 396129-53-6
Selective TGF-β Type I (ALK5) Inhibitor for EMT & Fibrosis Research

LY364947 (CAS 396129-53-6) is a potent, highly selective inhibitor of the TGF-beta type I receptor kinase (ALK5), with an IC50 of 51 nM. By blocking Smad2 phosphorylation it suppresses epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), reduces fibronectin and vimentin, and restores E-cadherin — a clean tool for fibrosis, cancer-metastasis and retinal-degeneration research. Formula C17H12N4, MW 272.30. Research grade with COA.

How LY364947 Works: Selective ALK5 Blockade of TGF-β/Smad Signaling

LY364947 targets the TGF-beta type I receptor (ALK5) kinase domain, shutting down the phosphorylation cascade that drives EMT and fibrosis.

1

Selective ALK5 (TGF-β RI) Inhibition

LY364947 is an ATP-competitive, highly selective inhibitor of the TGF-beta type I receptor kinase (ALK5), with a biochemical IC50 of ~51 nM and minimal off-target kinase activity.

2

Smad2 Phosphorylation Blocked

By occupying the ALK5 ATP pocket, LY364947 prevents phosphorylation of Smad2/3 — the canonical transducers of TGF-beta responses — halting downstream EMT transcription.

3

EMT Suppressed, E-cadherin Restored

With Smad signaling off, mesenchymal markers (fibronectin, vimentin) fall and epithelial E-cadherin is re-expressed, reducing cell migration and invasiveness in vitro and in vivo.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is LY364947 and what is it used for?
LY364947 (CAS 396129-53-6) is a potent, highly selective inhibitor of the TGF-beta type I receptor kinase (ALK5), with an IC50 of 51 nM. It is used to study epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), fibrosis (lung, kidney, liver), cancer metastasis and retinal degeneration by blocking TGF-beta/Smad signaling. Formula C17H12N4, MW 272.30. Supplied as research-grade material with COA.
How does LY364947 work (mechanism of action)?
LY364947 is an ATP-competitive, selective ALK5 inhibitor. It binds the TGF-beta type I receptor kinase domain, preventing phosphorylation of Smad2/3. This suppresses downstream EMT transcription — reducing mesenchymal markers (fibronectin, vimentin) and restoring epithelial E-cadherin — which lowers cell migration and invasiveness.
Is LY364947 selective for TGF-beta type I (ALK5)?
Yes. LY364947 is a benchmark selective ALK5/TGF-beta type I receptor inhibitor with minimal off-target kinase activity, making it ideal for isolating TGF-beta/Smad-specific effects without broadly disrupting other pathways. It does not inhibit TGF-beta type II receptors at relevant concentrations.
How soluble is LY364947 and how should it be prepared?
LY364947 is insoluble in water and ethanol but highly soluble in DMSO (>=24.4 mg/mL). Prepare a fresh DMSO stock, keep final culture DMSO <=0.1% to avoid cytotoxicity, and store both powder and solutions at -20°C. Research use only.
Is QC documentation provided?
Every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) including HPLC purity, structural confirmation (NMR) and identity data; MSDS/SDS is included and additional spectra (MS) are available on request.
