Description

Kartogenin is a small-molecule inducer of chondrocyte differentiation from primary human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with an EC50 value of approximately 100 nM. It up-regulates SOX9, collagen II and aggrecan expression and supports cartilage-matrix formation without increasing MMP-3, MMP-13 or aggrecanase expression in reported assays.

Chondrogenic differentiation and extracellular-matrix production are central to cartilage repair and osteoarthritis research. Kartogenin is useful for studying MSC-to-chondrocyte differentiation and regenerative joint biology.

Key Features

  • Promotes chondrocyte differentiation from MSCs
  • EC50: approximately 100 nM
  • Up-regulates SOX9, collagen II and aggrecan
  • Does not increase MMP-3, MMP-13 or aggrecanase expression in reported assays

Applications

  • Cartilage regeneration research
  • MSC differentiation studies
  • Osteoarthritis model assays
  • Extracellular-matrix formation studies
