Description

General description

A benzoylimidazole derivative that acts as a Transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) Activator by stabilizing TAZ and increases unphosphorylated TAZ. Up-regulates TAZ-dependent MyoD-dependent gene transcription at 10 µM and competes with myostatin in C2C12 cells. Shown to enhance myogenesis most effectively when applied for the first 24 hours under the differentiation condition. Facilitates muscle repair in cardiotoxin-induced muscle injury and prevents dexamethasone-induced muscle atrophy.
