1 In this study, we synthesized a series of six barbituric acid (BA) derivatives, and one of the compounds, BA-5, exhibited the best ability to ameliorate TGF-beta1-induced HSC activation without overt cytotoxic effects. barbituric acid transforming growth factor, beta 1 Mus musculus
2 In this study, we synthesized a series of six barbituric acid (BA) derivatives, and one of the compounds, BA-5, exhibited the best ability to ameliorate TGF-beta1-induced HSC activation without overt cytotoxic effects. barbituric acid transforming growth factor, beta 1 Mus musculus
3 In conclusion, our study showed that the barbituric acid derivative BA-5 inhibits HSCs activation and liver fibrosis by blocking both the TGF-beta1 and LPS-induced NF-kappaB signaling pathways and further inhibits macrophages recruitment and activation. barbituric acid transforming growth factor, beta 1 Mus musculus
