LDN-193189 is a cell permeable small molecule inhibitor of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) type I receptors ALK2 and ALK3 (IC50 = 5nM and 30nM respectively)1. LDN-193189 was derived from structure-activity relationship studies of dorsomorphin and functions primarily through prevention of Smad1, Smad5, and Smad8 phosphorylation1-3. LDN-193189 only weakly inhibits ALK4, ALK5, and ALK71. BMP signaling coordinates developmental patterning and has essential physiological roles in mature organisms4,5. LDN-193189has been used to reduce ectopic ossification in a mouse model of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva1. Stemolecule LDN-193189 is a hydrochloride salt.
Also available as a 10 mM stock solution (Cat. No. 04-0074-02)
