Description
CCG1423 is an inhibitor of Rho signaling that inhibits serum response factor (SRF); it displays anti-metastatic, anti-diabetic, and anti-fibrotic activities. CCG1423 binds myocardin-related transcription factor A (MRTF-A), preventing its accumulation and potentially inhibiting the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). CCG1423 also inhibits invasiveness of prostate cancer cells. In animal models of diabetes pathogenesis, this compound improves glucose uptake and tolerance.
