Nur77 modulator 3 (9e) can bind to Nur77 and inhibit TGF-β1-induced α-SMA and COLA1 expression in a Nur77-dependent manner. Nur77 modulator 3 induces Nur77 expression and enhances autophagic flux by inhibiting the mTORC1 signaling pathway in vitro and in vivo. Nur77 modulator 3 blocks the progression of hepatic fibrosis.
