Cardiogenol C
Cardiogenol C is a potent cell-permeable pyrimidine inducer which prompts the differentiation of ESCs into cardiomyocytes (EC50=100 nM). Cardiogenol C also acts cardiomyogenic on already lineage-committed progenitor cell types with a limited degree of plasticity. Cardiogenol C is a useful cardiomyogenic agent and can be used as a tool to improve cardiac repair by cell transplantation therapy in animal models.

Biological Activity
EC50: 100 nM (differentiation of ESCs into cardiomyocytes)[1]
Cardiogenol C (1 μM; 7 days) has a cardiomyogenic effect on P19 cells, it significantly increases atrial natriuretic factor (ANF, nppa) in P19 cells when it compares to untreated control cells[1].Cardiogenol C (0.01-100 μM; 7 days) significantly increases ANF expression. In addition, another frequently used cardiac marker gene (NKX2-5) is also significantly increased by this small molecule in C2C12 cells[2].Cardiogenol C (0.001-100 μM; 7 days) increases cardiac Nav1.5 sodium channel protein expression as dose-dependent manner in C2C12 cells[2].Cardiogenol C (0.01-100 μM; 7 days) does not effect cell growth even at 10 μM. In addition, Cardiogenol C either solves in water or DMSO generates a similar effect. The highest concentration, 100 μM has significant cellular toxicity on C2C12 cells[2].
