Application Spotlights

small molecules for iPSC diabetes research

Diabetes Research

A scalable differentiation protocol to derive functional insulin-producing beta cells from hPSCs published by Pagliuca, et al. (2014) presents a sixstage protocol using a combination of multiple small molecules and growth factors has shown promise in ameliorating hyperglycemia in mice.

Product highlights: CHIR99021, Retinoic Acid, LDN193189, Sant 1, Triiodothyronine, Y27632

small molecules for iPSC neuronal research

Neural Research

Qi, et al. (2017) describes a protocol in which a cocktail of seven small molecules allows for the creation of cortical neurons capable of producing long-range axonal projections. These cells begin to show mature neural characteristics in just 16 days, and later become fully functional.

Product highlights: DAPT, LDN193189, SB431542, PD0325901, XAV939, Y27632

small molecules for iPSC cardio research

Cardiovascular Research

Noor, et al. (2019) utilized hiPSCs differentiation protocols published by Edri, et al. (2018) and Lian, et al. (2012) for the modeling of 3D vascularized and perfusable heart patches to ultimately be applied to personalized cardiac models and drug screening applications.

Product highlights: CHIR99021, IWP-2, IWP-4, Retinoic Acid, SB203580, Thiazovivin

  1. LDN193189 (GMP)
    LDN193189 (GMP)

    LDN193189 (GMP-grade) is a potent inhibitor of the BMP pathway, shown to contribute to the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into functional pancreatic beta cells. This small molecule is produced under GMP guidelines and is used in cell therapy applications.

  2. N-Acetyl-L-cysteine
    N-Acetyl-L-cysteine

    N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is a cell-permeable small molecule used in cell culture as an antioxidant and a precursor to glutathione. It protects cells from oxidative stress by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and supporting cellular redox balance.

  3. Captivate Bio Neuro Cocktail Kit
    Neuro Cocktail Kit

    Captivate Bio's Neuro Cocktail Kit delivers the essential small molecules needed for robust neuronal differentiation, minimizing variability and simplifying protocol setup with six trusted, high-quality components.

  4. PD 0325901 chemical structure
    PD0325901

    PD0325901 is a selective, non-ATP-competitive inhibitor of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK/ERK kinase, or MEK) that suppresses expression of p-ERK1/2 and induces apoptosis. PD0325901 enhances generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

  5. PD0325901 (GMP)
    PD0325901 (GMP)

    PD0325901 (GMP-grade) is a potent, selective, and orally available inhibitor of MEK1/2, a protein crucial for the MAPK signaling pathway that regulates cell growth and proliferation. This small molecule is produced under cGMP and is ideal for cell therapy applications.

  6. Purmorphamine (GMP)
    Purmorphamine (GMP)

    Purmorphamine (GMP-grade), a hedgehog pathway activator, has been shown to promote differentiation of motor neurons from human pluripotent stem cells and human and mesenchymal stem cells. This product is manufactured under cGMP and is ideal for cell therapy applications.

  7. Repsox Small Molecule
    RepSox

    RepSox is a potent and selective transforming growth factor-beta receptor I/activin like kinase 5 (TGF-β-RI/ALK5) inhibitor. RepSox was found to replace the function of Sox2 to induce reprogramming of iPS cells.

  8. RepSox (GMP)
    RepSox (GMP)

    RepSox (GMP-grade) is a potent and selective transforming growth factor-beta receptor I/activin like kinase 5 (TGF-β-RI/ALK5) inhibitor. This small molecule is produced under cGMP guidelines and is ideal for cell therapy research.
