Purmorphamine is a 2,6,9-trisubstituted purine that has been shown to promote the differentiation of both human and mouse mesenchymal progenitor cells into osteoblasts. Purmorphamine has been found to directly bind to and activate the 7-transmembrane Smo receptor of the Hedgehog signaling pathway. It has also been used in studies to replace sonic hedgehog for the generation of motor neurons from human embryonic stem cells.
