Biological Data

Biological description

Potent, selective and ATP-competitive GSK-3 inhibitor (IC50 values are 6.7 and 10 nM for GSK-3β and GSK-3α respectively).


Wnt signaling activator which is commonly used with PD 032501 as part of the 2i inhibitor combination.


Exhibits no cross reactivity against CDKs and exhibits >500-fold selectivity for GSK3 over other protein kinases and >800-fold selectivity over >20 other enzymes and receptors.


Promotes self-renewal of embryonic stem cells and enables mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) reprogramming into iPSCs.

Commonly used in organoid production and also involved in reprogramming of fibroblasts to mature neurons.


Water soluble CHIR 99021 trihydrochloride also available.
