Description: SC144 hydrochloride, a first-in-class, orally active, small-molecule gp130 (IL6-beta) inhibitor, demonstrates potent inhibition of gp130 ligand-triggered signaling. By binding to gp130, it initiates gp130 phosphorylation (S782) and deglycosylation, impedes Stat3 phosphorylation and nuclear...

SC144 is an orally bioavailable gp130 inhibitor. It inhibits phosphorylation of STAT1, STAT3, and Akt induced by leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and IL-6, but not IFN-gamma, in OVCAR-8 ovarian cancer cells when used at a concentration of 20 µM. SC144 induces cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase in MDA-MB-435 breast...
