Biological Activity:
Daidzein-2c is a potent synthetic daidzein analog, has osteogenic induction potentials on human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC). Human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells from three different donors were treated with Daidzein-2c and shown to exhibit enhanced osteogenesis when compared to daidzein or estrogen treatment. The enhanced osteogenic induction by Daidzein-2c resulted in increased osterix (Sp7), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteopontin (OPN), and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which are osteogenic factors that regulate the maturation of osteogenic progenitor cells into more differentiated osteoblast cells. It serves as a useful chemical tool to further validate and develop novel treatments of osteoporosis via promoting bone formation.
How to Use:
- In vitro: Daidzein-2c was used at 1 µM final concentration in various in vitro assays.
- In vivo: N/A
