Kartogenin (KGN) sodium acts as an inducer of chondrogenic tissue formation (EC 50: 100 nM). It promotes chondrogenesis by binding to fibrin A, disrupting its interaction with the transcription factor core binding factor beta subunit (CBFβ), and modulating the CBFβ-RUNX1 transcriptional program. Additionally, Kartogenin sodium aids tendon-bone junction (TBJ) wound healing by stimulating collagen synthesis. It is extensively utilized in cell-free therapies for cartilage regeneration and protection, tendon-bone healing, wound healing, and limb development. The compound is also vital for cartilage repair, coordinating limb development, and osteoarthritis (OA) research [1] [2] [3] [4].
