BMS-986020 sodium(Cat No.:I018303)is a selective antagonist of lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPA₁), a G protein–coupled receptor implicated in fibrosis, inflammation, and cancer progression. By blocking LPA₁ signaling, BMS-986020 reduces fibroblast activation, collagen deposition, and tissue remodeling. It has been investigated in clinical trials for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), showing antifibrotic activity, though development was limited by liver-related adverse effects. In research, BMS-986020 sodium is used to probe LPA signaling pathways, offering valuable insights into fibrotic disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies targeting LPA-mediated pathophysiology.
