Description
CHIR99021 (CT99021, Laduviglusib) is a highly potent and selective glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) inhibitor with IC50 values of 10 nM and 6.7 nM for GSK-3α and GSK-3β, respectively. By inhibiting GSK-3, a key negative regulator of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, CHIR99021 activates canonical Wnt signaling and promotes β-catenin-mediated transcription.
CHIR99021 is one of the most widely used small molecules in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. Activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling by CHIR99021 supports stem cell self-renewal, pluripotency maintenance, cellular reprogramming, and lineage specification. In combination with PD0325901 (Axon 1408), CHIR99021 forms the classic 2i culture system (Axon 2128), which supports maintenance of naïve pluripotency in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). CHIR99021 is also a core component of numerous stem cell culture systems, including 3i, 4i, 5i, and naïve stem cell protocols, as illustrated in our stem cell inhibitor sets.

PD0325901 (Axon 1408) and CHIR99021 together form the classic 2i culture system (Axon 2128) for maintenance of naïve pluripotency in embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells. For stem cell applications requiring additional TGF-β pathway inhibition, A-83-01 (Axon 1421) can be combined with CHIR99021 and PD0325901 as part of the widely used 2i/ALK (CPA 3i) inhibitor cocktail. A water-soluble salt form, CHIR99021 dihydrochloride (Axon 2435), is also available.
