Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Purmorphamine is a Hedgehog agonist, which activates the Hedgehog pathway by targeting Smoothened. Purmorphamine induces osteogenesis by activation of the hedgehog signaling pathway. Purmorphamine increases DARPP-32 differentiation in human striatal neural stem cells through the Hedgehog pathway. Purmorphamine enhances osteogenic activity of human osteoblasts derived from bone marrow mesenchymal cells. Hedgehog (Hh) signaling is an important regulator of embryonic patterning, tissue regeneration, stem cell renewal and cancer growth.

More Info
        
Biological target:
Purmorphamine (Shh Signaling Antagonist VI) is a smoothened/Smo receptor agonist with an EC50 of 1 μM.
In vitro activity:
Purmorphamine stimulates Müller glial cell proliferation by upregulating cyclin D1 and cyclin D3 expression. Purmorphamine induces dedifferentiation of these cells, leading to the expression of progenitor-specific markers and their subsequent differentiation into rod-like photoreceptors. These results indicate that purmorphamine has the potential to enhance the endogenous neurogenic capacity of Müller glial cells, making it a promising candidate for retinal regeneration therapies. Reference: Mol Med Rep. 2017 Dec; 16(6): 7993–8002. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28983586/
In vivo activity:
Purmorphamine demonstrated neuroprotective activity in neonatal mice experiencing hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury. PUR mitigated acute brain injury by reducing the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and inhibiting caspase-3 activation. PUR reduced tissue loss and improved neurobehavioral outcomes up to 28 days post-HI injury. It enhanced the expression of synaptic markers and counters synaptic loss, potentially enhancing neural connectivity.
