Alectinib hydrochloride (RO5424802 Hydrochloride) is a selective, and orally available inhibitor of ALK( IC50 : 1.9 nM)

A 83-01 (ALK5 Inhibitor IV) is an inhibitor of the TGF-β type I receptors ALK5, ALK4, and ALK7 (IC50=12/45/7.5 nM). A 83-01 promotes the reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into iPSCs. A 83-01 can be used in organoid cultures.

DMH-1 is a potent and selective Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) inhibitor.

SB-431542 is an inhibitor of ALK5/TGF-β type I Receptor (IC50=94 nM) and is selective. SB 431542 also has inhibitory activity against ALK4 and ALK7 but not other proteins. SB 431542 can be used for induced differentiation of stem cells.

LDN-193189 2HCl (DM-3189 2HCl) is a selective BMP signaling inhibitor that inhibits ALK1,ALK2,ALK3 and ALK6, showing IC50s of 0.8 nM, 0.8 nM, 5.3 nM, and 16.7 nM, respectively, in kinase assays.LDN-193189 2HCl inhibited the transcriptional activity of BMP type I receptors in C2C12 cells, with IC50s of 5 nM and 30 nM, respectively. LDN-193189 2HCl inhibited the transcriptional activity of BMP type I receptors ALK2 and ALK3 in C2C12 cells, with IC50s of 5 nM and 30 nM, respectively, and was 200-fold more selective for BMP than for TGF-β.
