Description: PORCN inhibitor; inhibits Wnt processing and secretion
Chemical Name: N-(6-Methyl-2-benzothiazolyl)-2-[(3,4,6,7-tetrahydro-4-oxo-3-phenylthieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-2-yl)thio]-acetamide
Purity: ≥98% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for IWP 2
IWP 2 is a potent inhibitor of Wnt processing and secretion (IC50 = 27nM). IWP 2 inactivates PORCN, a membrane-bound O-acyltransferase (MBOAT), and selectively inhibits palmitoylation of Wnt. Blocks Wnt-dependent phosphorylation of Lrp6 receptor and Dvl2, and β-catenin accumulation. IWP 2 suppresses self-renewal in R1 embryonic stem cells and promotes cardiomyocyte differentiation from hPSCs. The compound has also been used in protocols to reprogram human somatic cells to chemically-induced PSCs.
