Cell permeable: yes

General description

A cell-permeable enhancer of nuclear localization of transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ). Does not affect the total amount of TAZ in pluripotent C3H10T1/2 cells.

A cell permeable, orally bioavailable imidazol-pyrimidine derivative that enhances nuclear localization of transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) in a dose-dependent manner without affecting the total amount of TAZ in pluripotent C3H10T1/2 cells. Does not affect Ser89 phosphorylation in TAZ, but reduces tyrosine phosphorylation. Reduces PPARg levels in differentiated adipocytes and acts as a suppressor of PPARg-dependent adipocyte differentiation. Also shown to enhance RUNX2-induced osteoblast differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells and mineralization in a dose-dependent manner. Reduces weight gain in ob/ob mice (50 mg/kg, i.p.) and attenuates bone loss in ovariectomized mice. Displays desirable pharmacokinetic properties with t1/2 = 9.85 h.
