A cell-permeable imidazopyridinamine compound that selectively and potently induces differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into hepatocyte-like cells (~47% at 5uM). Within 14 days of treatment with SJA710-6, the differentiated cells exhibit typical morphological characteristics of hepatocytes and are able to store glycogen, secret albumin, produce urea, and uptake LDL. Also, shown to increase the mRNA levels of hepatocyte-specific genes, such as albumin, AFP, CK18, c-Met, CYP1A1, CYP2B1, HNF3beta and FoxH1.
