Some compounds with structures and/or mechanisms of action that are unlikely to be of therapeutic interest were intentionally omitted from this summary table.

a

Scored as hits in both NIHcc and Spectrum collections.

b

Other α-adrenergic antagonists were not effective against PMA-mediated hypertrophy. Naftopidil has also been reported to inhibit TGF-β signaling.
