Supplied as a beige or tan powder.

A cell-permeable aminothiazolo-carboxamide compound that is reported to augment SB431542 and PD0325901 in enhancing human iPSCs (induced Pluripotent Stem Cells) generation from fibroblast cultures virally transfected with 4-TF (Oct44, Klf4, Sox2, and c-Myc). Simultaneous blockage of TGFb and MEK-ERK pathways by SB431542 (2uM) and PD0325901 (0.5uM) in addition to 4-TF-induction is shown to result in >50-fold improvement of iPSCs generation, while the inclusion of Thiazovivin (0.5uM) on top of SB431542 and PD0325901 is demonstrated to further improve the efficiency to an over-all of >200-fold improvement from 4-TF-induction alone.
