Oct3/4-inducer-1 (2-(4-(4-methoxybenzyloxy)phenyl)acetonitrile) is an OCT3/4 inducer that promotes the expression and stabilization of OCT3/4 and enhances its transcriptional activity in a variety of human cells.

Y-27632 dihydrochloride (Y-27632 2HCl) is an orally potent, ATP-competitive inhibitor of ROCK-I and ROCK-II. Y-27632 dihydrochloride also inhibits isolation-induced apoptosis in mouse prostate stem or progenitor cells.

Dopamine hydrochloride (ASL279) is a natural catecholamine neurotransmitter that mainly acts on dopamine receptors (D1-5 receptors) (EC50=2.7 nM). Dopamine hydrochloride induces VEGFR2 endocytosis through D2 dopamine receptor and has pro-angiogenic activity.

Forskolin (Coleonol) is a natural product, an adenylate cyclase activator (EC50=0.5 μM). Forskolin increases cAMP levels, activates PXR and FXR, and induces autophagy. Forskolin produces positive inotropic effects in the heart, and has platelet anticoagulant and antihypertensive effects.

A 83-01 (ALK5 Inhibitor IV) is an inhibitor of the TGF-β type I receptors ALK5, ALK4, and ALK7 (IC50=12/45/7.5 nM). A 83-01 promotes the reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into iPSCs. A 83-01 can be used in organoid cultures.

RepSox (ALK5 Inhibitor II) is a TGFβR-1/ALK5 inhibitor that selectively inhibits the binding of ATP to ALK5 and the autophosphorylation of ALK5 (IC50=23/4 nM). RepSox induces adipogenesis in MEFs cells.

OAC2 is an Oct4 activator which activates expression through the Oct4 gene promoter; enhances reprogramming efficiency by increasing the rate of production of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from embryonic fibroblasts; an analog of OAC1.

MDI-114215 (compound 85) serves as an allosteric dual inhibitor of LIMK1/2 and exhibits favorable in vivo tolerance. It is capable of inhibiting the phosphorylation of cofilin in mouse brain region-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and can be utilized in Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) research.

O4I2 is an effective Oct3/4 inducer in various human cell lines including human fibroblasts.

Lipoxygenin is an inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) with an IC50value of 5 μM for inhibition of 5-LO product synthesis in isolated human granulocytes stimulated with the cation ionophore A23187 .1It inhibits hedgehog-dependent signaling in Shh-LIGHT2 cells and TGF-β-, activin A-, bone morphogenic protein (BMP)-, or Wnt-dependent signaling in HEK293T cells (IC50s = 9.3, 3.2, 8.2, 9.6, and 3.7 μM, respectively, in luciferase reporter assays). Lipoxygenin (5 and 10 μM) increases levels of troponin T (TnnT), a marker of cardiomyocyte differentiation, in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) stimulated with BMP4 and the glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) inhibitor CHIR99021 .

Promotes proteasomal degradation of Miro1 (mitochondrial Rho GTPase 1). Reduces Miro1 levels in fibroblasts from Parkinson's disease (PD) patients (IC50 = 7.8 μM). Exhibits no significant effect on related outer mitochondrial membrane protein Mitofusin. Reduces stress-induced degeneration of dopaminergic neurons derived from PD patient iPSCs. Rescues age-dependent neuronal loss and prolongs lifespan in fly PD models.

(E)-SIS3 (SIS3) is a Smad3 inhibitor (IC50=3 μM) and is selective. (E)-SIS3 inhibits the differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts via TGF-β1.

D-3 (phosphorpeptide) is an efficient, simple, and specific agent for eliminating iPSCs.
