Wnt Agonist II; SKL2001

General description

A cell-permeable imidazolyl-isoxazolamide compound that upregulates β-catenin-regulated transcription (CRT; Effective conc. 10 - 40 µM) by blocking/disrupting β-catenin and Axin interaction, thereby preventing β-catenin phosphorylation (Ser³³/Ser³⁷/Thr⁴¹/Ser⁴⁵) and proteasomal degradation, without affecting the activities of GSK-3α/β or 18 other kinases (≤8.5% inhibition by 10 µM SKL2001). Wnt pathway activation by SKL2001 is shown to effectively promote osteoblastogenesis in both human and murine mesenchymal cultures (10 to 40 µM) as well as suppress MDI- (dexamethasone and insulin) stimulated adipogenesis of murine 3T3-L1 preadipocytes (5 to 30 µM).
