While SB-431542 has not proved directly useful for any clinical application, it is used for several applications in molecular biology. It suppresses the TGF-beta-induced proliferation of osteosarcoma cells in humans.[1] SB431542 can also be used in combination with LDN193189, CHIR99021 and DAPT to transform astrocytes into neurons.[2] It is also commonly used for immunological studies, for instance as a TGF-β inhibitor to facilitate the generation of dendritic cells from peripheral blood monocytes.
