Catalog No.GC12560 |
Dorsomorphin (Compound C) 2HCl (BML-275 dihydrochloride; Compound C dihydrochloride) is a potent, selective and ATP-competitive AMPK inhibitor, with a Ki of 109 nM. Dorsomorphin (Compound C) 2HCl inhibits BMP pathway by targeting the type I receptors ALK2, ALK3, and ALK6. Dorsomorphin (Compound C) 2HCl induces autophagy.

Sample solution is provided at 25 µL, 10mM.
IC50: Dorsomorphin inhibited BMP4-induced phosphorylation of BMP-responsive SMADs in a dose-dependent manner (half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) =0.47 mM).
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signals coordinate developmental patterning and have essential physiological roles in mature organisms. The first known small-molecule inhibitor of BMP signaling, dorsomorphin, were identified in a screen for compounds that perturb dorsoventral axis formation in zebrafish.
In vitro: Previoius researchers found that dorsomorphin selectively inhibits the BMP type I receptors ALK2/ALK3/ALK6 leading to block BMP-mediated SMAD1/5/8 phosphorylation, osteogenic differentiation as well as target gene transcription. Using dorsomorphin, they examined the role of BMP signaling in iron homeostasis.dorsomorphin inhibited the systemic iron regulator hepcidin BMP-, hemojuvelin- and interleukin 6–stimulated expression, indicating that BMP receptors regulate hepcidin induction by all of these stimuli [1].
In vivo: The systemic challenge with iron rapidly induced SMAD1/5/8 phosphorylation and hepcidin expression in the liver, while dorsomorphin treatment could blocke SMAD1/5/8 phosphorylation, normalize hepcidin expression and increase serum iron levels. These suggest an crucial physiological role for hepatic BMP signaling in iron-hepcidin homeostasis [1].
Clinical trial: Dorsomorphin is still in preclinical development stage and no clinicl trial is ongoing currently.
