Background
LDN193189 is a selective transcriptional activity morphogenetic protein (BMP) type I receptors inhibitor. It inhibits activin receptor-like kinase-2 (ALK2) and ALK3 with IC50 values of 5 nM and 30 nM, respectively [1].
LDN193189 has been showed to inhibit BMP induced phosphorylation of Smad signaling (Smad1/5/8) and non-Smad signaling including p38 and Akt in C2C12 cells [2].
Pharmacological inhibition of BMP by LDN193189 has shown to prevent down-regulation of E-cadherin in response to BMP2 both in bronchial epithelial (Beas2B) cells and in C57BL/6 mice. LDN193189 also inhibits the BMP-induced reduction of epithelial permeability at cellular level [3].[1] Yu PB, Deng DY, Lai CS, Hong CC, Cuny GD, Bouxsein ML, Hong DW, McManus PM, Katagiri T, Sachidanandan C, Kamiya N, Fukuda T, Mishina Y, Peterson RT, Bloch KD.
