Wnt/β-Catenin Activator & Dual CXXC5-Dvl / GSK3β Inhibitor

KY19382 (CAS 2226664-93-1) is a synthetic analogue of indirubin-3′-monoxime that activates Wnt/β-catenin signalling through two complementary nodes: it disrupts the protein-protein interaction between the negative feedback regulator CXXC5 and Dishevelled (IC50 = 19 nM) and directly inhibits glycogen synthase kinase 3β (IC50 = 10 nM). Published preclinical work covers hair regrowth and wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis, growth-plate driven longitudinal bone growth, chondrogenesis and high-fat-diet metabolic models. Formula C17H11Cl2N3O2, MW 360.19. Research grade, ≥98% HPLC, shipped with COA.

Key Molecular Targets & Pathway Nodes

KY19382 acts on the CXXC5 negative-feedback arm and the GSK3β destruction complex, converging on β-catenin driven transcription.

🧬 CXXC5 🧬 Dishevelled (Dvl) 🧪 GSK3β 🔵 β-catenin 📈 TOPFlash reporter 🧴 Dermal papilla cells 🌱 Hair follicle neogenesis 🦴 Growth plate / chondrogenesis 🍃 Metabolic disease models 🧭 Wnt target genes (Axin2, WISP1)

How KY19382 Works: Releasing the Brake on Wnt/β-Catenin Signalling

Two complementary actions in one molecule — upstream block of the CXXC5-Dvl negative feedback loop and direct inhibition of GSK3β.

1

Block of the CXXC5–Dvl Interaction

CXXC5 is a negative-feedback regulator of the Wnt pathway that binds Dishevelled and dampens signal transduction. KY19382 disrupts this protein-protein interaction (IC50 = 19 nM), removing the brake at the receptor-proximal level.

2

Direct Inhibition of GSK3β

KY19382 inhibits glycogen synthase kinase 3β (IC50 = 10 nM), lowering destruction-complex activity and raising inhibitory phospho-GSK3β (Ser9) levels, an activity independent of the CXXC5 arm.

3

β-Catenin Stabilisation & Transcription

Stabilised β-catenin accumulates in cytosol and nucleus; TOPFlash reporter activity rises (0.001–10 μM, 18 h) together with Wnt target genes Axin2 and WISP1, and with ALP and PCNA in human dermal papilla cells.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is KY19382 and what is it researched for?
KY19382 (CAS 2226664-93-1) is a synthetic analogue of indirubin-3′-monoxime and an activator of Wnt/β-catenin signalling. It is studied in hair regrowth and wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis, growth-plate driven longitudinal bone growth, chondrogenesis, and high-fat-diet metabolic disease models. Molecular formula C17H11Cl2N3O2, molecular weight 360.19.
How does KY19382 activate Wnt/β-catenin signalling?
KY19382 acts at two nodes. It disrupts the interaction between the negative feedback regulator CXXC5 and Dishevelled, releasing the brake at the receptor-proximal level, and it directly inhibits GSK3β, which lowers destruction-complex activity. Stabilised β-catenin then accumulates and drives transcription of Wnt target genes including Axin2 and WISP1.
What are the reported IC50 values for KY19382?
Published values are IC50 = 19 nM for inhibition of the CXXC5-Dvl protein-protein interaction and IC50 = 10 nM for inhibition of GSK3β. Both figures come from the characterisation work behind the Life Science Alliance 2019 and British Journal of Pharmacology 2021 studies.
Is KY19382 the same compound as PTD-DBM?
No. PTD-DBM is a peptide that interferes with the CXXC5-Dvl interaction only, whereas KY19382 is a small molecule that combines CXXC5-Dvl interference with direct GSK3β inhibition. In a dihydrotestosterone model, KY19382 fully restored β-catenin signalling where single-node interventions gave partial results.
Which experimental models has KY19382 been used in?
Published models include human dermal papilla cells, ex vivo mouse vibrissa and human hair follicle culture, depilation-induced hair regrowth, wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis and hair patch assays in C57BL/6 mice, ATDC5 and C28/I2 chondrogenic cells, HEK293 TOPFlash reporter cells, and adolescent mice for growth-plate and tibia-length endpoints.
How soluble is KY19382 and how are stock solutions prepared?
KY19382 is soluble in DMSO at roughly 4 to 5 mg/mL (11.6 to 13.9 mM) and practically insoluble in water. Reported protocols use warming to about 80 °C with sonication and freshly opened DMSO, since hygroscopic DMSO lowers apparent solubility. Aliquoted stocks are stored at -80 °C for up to 6 months or -20 °C for up to 1 month, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
How should KY19382 be stored and shipped?
Solid KY19382 is stored at -20 °C protected from light, with a reported shelf life of up to 3 years at -20 °C and 2 years at 4 °C. It ships at ambient temperature as a non-hazardous chemical and is stable for the ordinary transit and customs period; cold-chain shipment is available on request.
What QC documentation is provided with each batch?
Every batch ships with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis reporting HPLC purity, together with NMR and MS structural confirmation. MSDS/SDS and Certificates of Origin are available on request.
Which pack sizes are available and is bulk supply supported?
KY19382 is offered in six standard sizes: 100 mg, 1 g, 10 g, 100 g, 1 kg and 10 kg. The 100 mg, 1 g and 10 g sizes are held in stock, while 100 g, 1 kg and 10 kg are made to order against a quotation. Bulk quantities qualify for tiered discounts, and lead time is quoted per batch.
Is KY19382 approved for human or veterinary use?
No. KY19382 is at the preclinical stage with no marketing authorisation in any jurisdiction and is supplied strictly for laboratory research use. It is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures and not for human or veterinary administration.
Which related hair-loss research compounds are available?
Related tool compounds for hair-follicle research include WAY-316606, an sFRP-1 inhibitor acting on the same Wnt pathway, plus anti-androgen and comparator actives listed in the hair loss solution ingredients category.
