What is Thiazovivin?

Description

Thiazovivin (1226056-71-8) dramatically improves (200-fold) the efficiency of induced pluripotent stem cell generation from human fibroblasts.1 Induces direct conversion of porcine embryonic fibroblasts into adipocytes.2?Cell permeable.

The Uses of Thiazovivin

A compound that improves the survival of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) upon trypsinization. In combination with ALK5 (TGFβ receptor) inhibitor SB-431542 and MEK inhibitor PD-0325901 (P217450), Thiazovivin promotes the transformation of fibroblasts into stem cells with a 200-fold efficiency over the classic method

The Uses of Thiazovivin

Thiazovivin has been used in the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and induced neural stem cells (iNSCs) from human urine cells. It has also been used to study the the effect of pro-fibrotic inhibition on cardiac reprogramming.

What are the applications of Application

Thiazovivin is a ROCK inhibitor that is also known to enhance the efficiency of fibroblast reprogramming

Biochem/physiol Actions

Thiazovivin is an inhibitor of Rho associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase (ROCK). In vitro studies prove that thiazovivin is efficient in stimulating better morphology, expression of ionic transporter and protein involved in cell adhesion.
