GA-017

GA-017 is a potent, selective inhibitor of LATS1 and LATS2 (large tumor suppressor kinase 1/2), exhibiting IC50 values of 4.10 and 3.92 nM, respectively. This compound simultaneously acts as an activator of cell proliferation by promoting YAP/TAZ activation and their nuclear translocation. Additionally, GA-017 enhances cell growth in 3D culture conditions and augments the ex vivo formation of mouse intestinal organoids .
