Description: GSK-3β inhibitor; also inhibits cdks
Chemical Name: 9-Bromo-7,12-dihydro-indolo[3,2-d][1]benzazepin-6(5H)-one
Purity: ≥98% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for Kenpaullone
Kenpaullone is a GSK-3beta inhibitor (IC50 = 0.23 μM). Also inhibits cyclin dependent kinases (cdks) in the sub micromolar range (reported IC50 values are 0.4, 0.68-7 and 0.85 μM for cdk1, cdk2 and cdk5, respectively). Generates induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from somatic cells when used in combination with reprogramming factors; can replace Klf4.
Compound Libraries for Kenpaullone
Kenpaullone is also offered as part of the Tocriscreen 2.0 Max, Tocriscreen Kinase Inhibitor Library, Tocriscreen Epigenetics Library and Tocriscreen Stem Cell Library. Find out more about compound libraries available from Tocris.
